wasn't really saying there was a global silence on the "lie" of the Holocaust? And guess who'd be responsible for that lie? Come on you are apparently from Syria, you must have seen the cartoons they have in their newspapers about jews and the same about Iranian ones.

UN has been reduced to a sad circus of teh human race where the bad, ugly and primitive majority dictates and redefines the "values" and the actions of the civilized few. US should kick the UN out of US, stop all fundings and create a more civilized organization whose membership should be based on a strict adherence to democratic values. There will be not many members there, but at least the taxpayers' money will not go to criminal, racist, barbaric, violent and corrupt countries which socially and politically have not left the Dark Ages yet. The UN tree is full of monkeys and snakes. Time to stop watering it and move to a new garden.

We're giving this thug organization it's much-craved legitimization as anything more than a money-wasting gang of nobodies that help validate the evil in the world. There's no point in talking to an evil person, in the end it will only hurt you. It's time Israel get her act together as a Light unto the Nations, and pull out of the U.N. But how can we do that, when we have non-Jewish, weak-leadership controlling our country? We elect Moshe Feiglin to PM, of course. Because he believes in G-d, because he looks at life from the eyes of a Jew. Because us Jews will once again be able to respect ourselves and our homeland. Be'ezrat Hashem :)

Yes, David.Anything to do with positiveness, the whole of UN becomes bad.Have you ever asked yourself with rationality why these changes are occuring?Give yourself some time and you will see some logic.

CAN ANOTHER COUNTRY BE INCLUDED AS AN ASSOCIATE MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE AS IT STILL NEEDS TO BE OFFICIALLY. RECOGNISED IT HAS MUCH TO OFFER AND IS CLOSELY ALLIED TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE U.N. AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN OFFICIAL STATUS YET. II AM SURE IRAN WOULD FULLY BACK ITS ENTRY THE LAND IN QUESTION IS C.H.E.L.M. !

The UN is a farce,and the Americans should stop funding it. The Americans are paying for these idiots,to denigrate it at every opportunity.

Maybe Olmert advises the UN who to hire! This is ridiculous! The USA and all other civilized countries should pull out all funding immediately!!

I would not be surprise if a monkey takes over the UN Sec. Gen. post.

1.) convert the UN building in a nice low income project for Americans. 2.) Kick out all diplomatsfrom the U.S. of States who incited violence called for the elimination of other countries and rascism. 3.) America has to stop all funding for any UN body anywhere in the world. 4.) America shall start a coalition of the willing made up of true followers of human rights and democratic state structures.

Including Iran in this committee, let alone placing it in a "leading position" is the quintessence of stupidity and heartfelt racism from the part of U.A.N. (Take a wild guess what "A" means in the acronym ! ). If this goes through, then the U.N. will forever enter the gallery of irrelevant organizations. Then, the Arab nations will "legitimize" their everyday racism and, at the same time, will stuff all western countries' mouth with oil soaked rags. Oil and prostitution above all ! In this specific situation, even if Israel has been left with little to do and even less to convince, racists of the world, just don't hold your breath and don't count on inactivity !

Is it possible for someone in a prominent postition to give money or organisational advice to UNITE all those diverse people or groups who sufferer from racism onto only ONE delegation to the conference ???? If this could be done their voice could possibly overwhelm the anti semite ranting.

Someone has a wry sense of humor. What's next? The KKK to be given observer status?

Do you honestly think that it is possible to take seriously an organisation that has Zimbabwe as the head of sustainable economic development commission is serious? Or Libya as head of Human rights commission or has Saudi as a voting member? Or that Kofi Annan should be able to pick as the head of the UNEP the man responsible for giving him a half a million USD endowment the same year?

The US needs to kick the UN out of the country and stop funding it. Iran is under sanctions voted on by the UN and they are racist. So why o why would they allow them to be on a council for racism? Has the world gone mad? When is common sense and reason going to return?

this wil all end with crying take away kofi anon's pension you will get quick action on his response bunch of evil , self serving...

It not unusual at the UN for the world's worst offenders to be on committees that are supposed to be investigating them. Weren't Syria and Libya on the Human Rights Committee? But the UN charter calls for the expulsion of any country that campaigns for the annihilation of another member state. Iran has threatened Israel many times with extermination. Why are they still in the UN? What does that say about the UN?

I love the UN, i was having a somewhat boring day and now I cant stop laughing! So thank you UN for bring some humor into the world.

Talk about the UN becomming more irrevelant, putting Iran on an anti- racisim committee,that's like putting Saudi Arabia on an alternative engery committee and saying that they fund it! Or putting Venezuela on a commitee that supports democracy! The US and England should stop supporting the UN,and it should be kicked out of NY let those idiots take up space in someother country!

How come there are still so many Jews refusing to leave Iran ?

300 Jews don't "want" to leave Syria.... Of course Ruhollah Kakhodah-Zadeh was hanged in Iran in 1998 for helping Jews to emigrate but I am sure that none wanting to leave the haven of tolerance that is Iran. Look at the figures, Jewish population of Iran 1979 over 80,000, current population 25,000. Answer your question?

don't you know? do you really need this to be explained to you? the remaining jews in syria, iran, and other arab countries are the elderly dihimis that are constantly in danger and scorn from the arab muslims around them. they still live in ghettos that are poor and miserable without any respect given to their wishes by the arab governemts. those jews still living in iran and syria ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE. THEY ARE HELD AS PRISONERTS IN THESE COUNTRIES. THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE VISAS OF DEPARTURE ANYWHERE. they are being held against their wishes by regimes that are holding them hostage for pure psychological revenge on the jews and jewish state of israel. believe me, you'd see non of them still there if iran and syria let them go. but they don't for some unexplained reason except to torture whatever is left of their miserable lives there.

what are you talking about u dont remember KOFi?

it is as though the UN is bizarro land where everything is backwards or reverse from what it should be.....i say the usa should get out of the un and kicked the rest of the bums back to their own countries

This is like putting a fox to guard the hen house. The U.N. needs to be driven out of the United States and every other country.

and how about cloning Olmert and having two of them? would that make our enemies happy? or how about making a clinically insane person our President? O, never mind, that's just been done already.

There seems to be no progress in making the UN a respected Icon for which it was designed. No orginazation is totally useless it can always be used as a bad example..

Iran in charge of a UN anti-racism committee??? This isn't even April 1st. The UN has officially proven itself completely out of touch with reality.
