Envoys of France, the United States, Britain, as well as Belgium and Costa Rica walked out of the Security Council meeting after the Libyan delegation compared Israel’s actions in Gaza… to Nazi concentration camps. This kind of anti-Israel happy-talk at the U.N. is not at all remarkable —only walking out on it is. This talk is not unlike the kind of talk they and many other U.N. members have spewed for years, almost entirely unreported in the media. Walking out caused approximately four media sources to cover the ever so diplomatic and peace-yearning remarks, today.
US, Britain, France protest Libya comment on Nazis

Wed Apr 23, 11:01 PM ETUNITED NATIONS – Envoys from the U.S. and several nations walked out of a U.N. Security Council meeting Wednesday after Libya compared the situation in Gaza to Nazi concentration camps, council diplomats said.
Canada isn’t a member of the U.N. Security Council. I’d love for the Canadian media to have thought of asking the Canadian ambassador what he would have done, if Canada were a member.
Apparently China, Russia, Indonesia, Burkina Faso, Italy, Viet Nam, Croatia, and Panama remained to hear the grand statement from Libya. South Africa’s UN ambassador and the current council president, ended the meeting following the walkout.
Bashar Ja’afari, Syria’s UN ambassador explained to reporters that he agreed with Libya’s assertion. “Unfortunately those who complain of being victims of genocide [during World War II] are repeating the same kind of genocide against the Palestinians,” Ja’afari said.
But please don’t forget: President Bush saying he wanted the savage 9/11 terrorist planners “dead or alive” and “you’re either with us or against us” is the real problem in the world today.
