No, I think not. His true colors are emerging, this Anti-Semetic, Anti-Israel Jew Hater....He wasnt fooling anyone....But the fact that he was even a candidate blows ones mind....What was I thinking, its a U.N. position....

Mr. Hosni please shut up, there is nothing called culture war. The UNESCO's thing is over and I think it’s better for you to resign your position as a Culture minister. For the Israeli newspapers you have more retard politician than Mr. Hosni so please mind your own business.

"Hosni charged that he lost the UN vote because of 'radicalism, racism, and the Jews,'" And this is someone running for unesco leadership?? Gee, I wonder why he lost.

this is why he was not elected to be UNESCO head, and the proof comes out now. What he said before the vote was a famous deception tactic known in Islam as Al Takyia

What a guy. Spends decades crapping on Israel and the Jews; loses in a very fair vote in which all kinds of countries not particularly friendly to Israel voted against him simpluy because they saw him for what he is, a racist, and now this loser blames it on the Jews. Egypt did have a wonderful culture in Pharoahnic times and, for a while, during the French era but today, more live Egyptians live in the cemetery crypts than the dead; because there is no housing. Yes, Mr. Hosni, you and the Egyptian culture can now carve out one more "Divine Victory" for the Arabs. Talk about a mental "dwarf" to use his own word.

If our egyptian "friends" decided not to talk or receive Lieberman just because he talks the truth, we should at least declare this spoiled child "persona non grata"!!!! Please remember this is part of the so supposed egyptian's "cultural elite"!!!

ha ha ha :)

It's been down hill ever since. And with Hosni's recent comments, it looks like it will be in the toilet for years to come. Does President-for-Life Mubarak have the guts to fire this idiot? Egyptian culture only exists in their yogurt products!

...just go away. what a pitiful loser this guy is. good thing he didn't get the position.

It is getting somewhat boring. The perennial arab loser blasting the whole world for his stupidity. The who is who on the list of his tormentors? The Jews (de rigueur), UNESCO, The US, Japan, Eastern Europe,and a few others. He conveniently omitted Lapland, the Maldives,Tuvalu, Nauru, Vatican City, and other less important world shakers. OH ! Egypt, how low is low ? Is this really the bottom of the barrel?

You are absolutely right. 100%! This Hosni MUST be persona non-grata in Israel. Lieberman was proclaimed persona non-grata in Egypt just for stating a FACT.

believe me he is not a true muslim

Is this a joke? How can UN even think of having such racist, liar,antisemite, anti-jews for unesco leadership, you lost in very very fair vote, well democraty always takes over, with the help of hashem. Go find a job in a fake antique shop, a good start to your little culture....or maybe better stay home study couscous art.

Hosni Mubarak lied to the American government that the murderers of the Jewish passengers on the Arab hijacked steamer, Achille Lauro, had left Cairo. The Americans forgave his lie as he claimed he did it to boast the USA-PLO approach at that tine. But what the other Hosni did? Farouk Husny lied to the Italian General attorney about the IDs of the three hijacking Palestinians lodged in the Egyptian Academy in Rome, thus facilitating their escape. His deeds maybe considered patriotism by the Israeli standards.

I wonder what is so-called Egyptian culture? Does it mean the primitivism of the Egyptian society, the high rate of analphabetic individuals in Egypt, or maybe the ignorance of its leadership? From the cultural point of view, Egypt has just left the Middle Ages, although its “Culture” Minister proves that Egypt is still deep in the Dark Ages.

I agree

For all the oil revenues that have flowed into the wealthier Arb countries, the overall state of the Arb world is appalling. Nowhere in the Arb world is there a single world-class university. Arb scientific achievement has degenerated into a few research programs in the fields of chemical, biological and nuclear warfare. There is not one true democracy in the Arb world. No Arb State genuinely respects human rights. No Arb state hosts a responsible media. No Arb society fully respects the rights of women or minorities. Arb societies are dysfunctional and have immersed themselves in a culture of denial. They emphasize struggle, quash competition and reject alternate approaches to Peace or ways of thinking. Arb governments live in a state of internal fear that avoids investigating their failures or acquainting themselves with or opening their societies to the cultures of others. As a result, their societies cannot hand down positive achievements to future generations unless they overcome their secretiveness, their isolation, and especially their compulsive need to blame others for their own failings.

Hosni Mubarak lied to the American government that the murderers of the Jewish passengers on the Arab hijacked steamer, Achille Lauro, had left Cairo. The Americans forgave his lie as he claimed he did it to boast the USA-PLO approach at that tine. But what the other Hosni did?

The Arb mind is not open enough not to explain everything without a 'conspiracy theory'. The biggest problem with conspiracy theories is that they keep them not only from the truth, but also from confronting their own self inflicted faults and problems. This way of thinking relates any given problem to external elements, and thus does not lead to a rational policy to confront the problem.

Not sure why some primitive bigot thought he should head a UN cultural body, but trying to erase his history as a lackey to a third world tyrant was just plain stupid. Now I see he doesn't even understand the word dwarf. If he wants to see an intellectual dwarf he should look in the mirror.

Few israelis cause foreign dictators to take notice. Sharon and dayan caused some fear and respect. Belin, ben ami, olmert and livni caused arabs to be emboldened and to launch thousands of missiles at israel-10,000 while so far less than 300 against bibi over 6 months. So livni, you are weak and shut up. Lieberman is near fearless and will go with anyone, putin, obama, kameinei, haniyeh. They know about him and he makes them nervous. Bibi is too emotional and nervous. Let lieberman be the sword of israel and set up the plan along wiht the opposition of iran who hate kameini and this phony ph.d. in transport engineering, hamentash ahmadinejad.

If your accusation is right Mr Hosni, thank the Jews for saving you from the UN.

It wont be the first time Egyptian declares war on Israel. Please read the history so you would learn the result of any war that you declare on Israel. "Comments containing incitement, slander, racist slurs and inappropriate language deemed to violate our terms of use won't be published. " I hope that applies to Farouk Hosni as well!
