Inspiration

Alexandra von Maltzan credited the inspiration for this post of hers over at All Things Beautiful as a comment thread here in the Crabitat. Wow. I don't think I've ever been considered an inspiration before!

…The 'Arab Lawyer’s Union', freely distributed at the UN's "anti-racism" summit in Durban, South Africa, just before 9/11 flyers with a picture of Hitler and the words, "What if I had won? The good thing—there would be no Israel"; they freely distributed books containing cartoons of swastika-festooned Israelis and fanged, hooked-nosed Jews, blood dripping from their hands.

How could that have been allowed to take place and why did the conference’s secretary-general, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson ignore demands to remove this anti-Semitic literature.

How come that we are now being force-fed the same one-sided reporting and UN rhetoric, much like UN’s response to Israeli military incursion into the West Bank town of Jenin in April 2002? 

Read the whole thing, it's great.

UPDATE: Speaking of drumming up anti-Israeli sentiment, ladies and gentlemen, the Associated Press.
