zeroing ,   Germany   (09.26.09)
What can I say more. Culture? Which culture? From Joseph's time or Moses? Islam culture blinds people and brings only death, hate and backwardness. Take a glance at Tel Aviv or Ramat-Gan, afterwards take a deep look into Cairo, then talk about culture.
32. TAKE BACK SINAI NOW ! ! ! ! !
Cielito Lindo ,   Espana   (09.27.09)
They NEVER deserved our sincerity and ENDLESS generosity, like cuting edge medical machinery, computers and know how we sent over to these violent, anti0Semitic INGRATES over the many years of NO peace, just paper.
33. So he'll go work for UNRWA
steve from raleigh   (09.27.09)
It's axiomatic.
34. hosni, may we remind you, sir
(09.27.09)
that in order to make a cultural war against another country, you have to have culture to befin with. if you are an example for egyptian culture, i fear egypt is really really not up to par even with zimbabwe. and that is an understatement, sir. go away quietly because the old canard and excuse to blame the jewish lobby in the usa and jews in general doesn't fly anymore, particularly when it was not jews that put in their votes, mororn! hameed aboughaze, iranian
35. The real intolerant Hosni
EgyptJewRefugee ,   Geneva, SWitzerland   (09.26.09)
THe real intolerant Hosni seems to be coming out.
36. Egypt's culture war against Israel
William ,   Israel   (09.27.09)
Isn't most of the culture that Egypt pushes vis-a-vis their history really non-Arab history of the Pharoahs which the invading Arabs took and claimed as their own, despite there being no direct link? Now I see where the Palestinians got their idea for "culture", when they claimed Jesus and the Temple Mount as their own, despite no direct link.
37. #15 - How can UN have such racist in UNESCO?
William ,   Israel   (09.27.09)
Right! The UN is too busy putting the racists in the UN Security Council and UNHRC.
38. Time for a defamation suit against this asshole....
AJ ,   Washington, DC   (09.27.09)
Like the Berne, Switzerland trial against the publishers of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
39. A do nothing, add nothing, contribute nothing....
AJ ,   Washington, DC   (09.27.09)
asshole like this - vying for a "culture minister" job at the UN, and can't even win that, doesn't deserve the space he takes up in the blogosphere.
40. He's demonstrating why he was NOT chosen
Zvi   (09.27.09)
41. Mr. Hosni.....
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (09.27.09)
is probably just upset at the thought of having to give up his NYC digs and go back to Egypt.
42. Farouk Hosni
Walt ,   Portland, USA   (09.27.09)
I think Hosni is too dull to realize that he has proven his critics correct in every respect. He is entirely unfit for anything, aside from being a dishwasher in a brothel.
43. Heh! A moron without the oxy.
Scott ,   USA   (09.27.09)
44. Too much hair dye.....
Ariel ,   USA   (09.27.09)
That likely rotted his brain. Imagine this narcissistic, anti-Semitic, paranoid non-entity in charge of the UNESCO....
45. Harsh Words
Emanuel Morgenstern ,   Irvine,California,   (09.27.09)
What a hypocrisy! You remember what a headline Avigdor Liberman maid with his remarks regarding President Mubarak (by the way he was right). Everybody including the Israeli government strongly condemned his statement and distance themselves from him, they said how dare he talks like this. Today after the unacceptable anti-Semitic statement of the Egyptian minister everybody is quite, no response from Israeli media, not a word of condemnation from the Egyptian government, in contrary they agree with him. Ynet describes his comments just as harsh wards. Shame on you Ynet! Unbelievable
46. Egypt has a great culture and Omar Shariff
Yaakov Sullivan ,   NYC   (09.27.09)
My ex husband Hassan used to love his movies and so am I. I love "Doctor Zhivago" and many other movies.
47. Launch a culture war
Bernd ,   Germany   (09.27.09)
Look who's promoting the 'Clash of Civilizations'... and this nut was on the ballot for UNESCO head? This is one of many examples for the complete failure of the UN concept as such.
48. i think hosni has not understood the meaning a VOTE...
uli ,   jerusalem   (09.27.09)
49. Al Taqyia is not Islamic but Shiites
observer   (09.26.09)
50. Shame on Egypt
Allan ,   Rosh Haayin   (09.27.09)
This is showing that this man never changed his tune about what he thinks of the Jews and the West, and it shows that the UN were right not to vote for him, what kind of culture minister would he have been for the UN, when he spews such rubbish. It shows as well what the Arabs think, and they say Jews have victim syndrome! They cant even take losing the vote and that is just sad.
51. This bozo's face are just begging for a punch.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (09.27.09)
What a pathetic whining loser.
52. Culture?
Jay3 ,   Israel   (09.27.09)
You mean the culture you muslims stole off the coptics in Egypt?
53. Egyptian minister declares 'culture war' on Israel
Jo ,   Amsterdam Holland   (09.27.09)
He means cultur jihad !!!
54. I needed a good laugh! Shana tova!
Kevin Minailo ,   Canada   (09.27.09)
55. Egyptian minister loses election
paul kaiser ,   phoenix USA   (09.27.09)
A case of sour falafels.
56. All to the best
Alexandre Chinovich   (09.27.09)
Mr. Hosni's interview tells us who we could have had as a UNESCO leader. As to the Egyptian culture... Does he mean pyramids? But ancient Egyptians had nothing common with today Arabs, except territory.
57. This guy needs a muzzle
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.27.09)
58. An illiterate idiot... And ungrateful Anti-Semite..
william ,   Seattle, Wa, USA   (09.27.09)
Almost every UN figure of Arab descent was anti Semite... Ghali, Baradei, etc... And now this one who most likely can't write proper English has gone ballistic because his true colors surfaced... Who is bankrolling his regime to the tune of billions of $ annually? And who is shoring up his regime against terror zealots?
59. to # 49
archie ,   us   (09.27.09)
OBSERVER? my ass you are not !!! shiites are not moslems? give me a break! you are 100 % masked Wahabest. the only sect in Islam that deserve respect as religions are the SUFIES (Turks and all Khazars) so go to hell PUNK!!!
60. Proving our point
Jeffb ,   Los Angeles, CA   (09.27.09)
Of course Hosni's vile pronouncements in the aftermath of the UN vote against him only prove that vote correct. What vile, deceitful, evil creatures these people are.
