U.N. Gets One Right

Barring a few months in 1947-1948, the U.N’.s record on Israel hasn’t exactly been Chuck Woolery-y. These guys made an alleged Nazi war criminal their general secretary. However, every now and then they manage to get it right, as they did by denying Egyptian culture vulture Farouk Hosny the top slot at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Granted, the fact that the U.N.–on the second ballot–refused to make a guy who promised to burn any Israeli books he found in the library the top cultural official for the world isn’t much of a victory, but for Israel and the U.N., any day in which you aren’t given a figurative brown swirlie is a good one. And lest anyone think that this is just usual right-wing Zionofascist griping, Mr. Hosny cleared up any misconception by affirming that his defeat was orchestrated by a cabal of "the world’s Jews." At least now we understand his desire to replace all the Israeli books in Alexandria’s library with printouts ofLethal Weapon fan fiction.
