Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the West of using the Holocaust as a "pretext" for aggression against Palestinians, prompting European diplomats to walk out Monday from a speech interrupted by jeering protesters in rainbow wigs tossing red clown noses at the leader.
What we saw at the anti-racism conference hosted by the UN in Geneva this week was predictable. That the strongest supporters (and deniers) of racism in the world today, i.e. The US, Australia, Canada, Netherlands and of course Israel, would not only boycott the conference, but accuse and condemn anyone else who went, or who criticized Israel or any of its supporters, of racism.
I have read Ahmedinejad's speech and it does read as if it were a bit over the top, perhaps because what he speaks about is over the top blatant hypocrisy and double-standards. Time for euphemisms and mincing words are over. I can find no fault with anything he said about Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and the global economic crisis, who is behind it all, and who took the fall for it, for it is all accurate. If it is fact, and it is TRUTH, then I am unsure how else one would speak about such blatant truths?
Well, he could begin by denying that it exists!
What those clowns have demonstrated by exhibiting complete denial of the notion of freedom of speech and the culture of debate is that the crux of matter is very simple. The truth doesn't matter. The truth will never matter when it comes to discussing "racism" and Israel in the same forum.
