Very nice Sniffer...As usual you mix anti-Israeli policies with anti-Semitism, yet you say that fair criticism of Israel is admissible...Good 'Ol Sniffer brandishing its importance as a UN hack on these boards as one of the neocons whose philosophy goaded George W. into invading Iraq for Israel..."The United Nations hasn't really improved much in the years since I was there, and it hasn't really improved much at all with respect to Israel ... I was very deeply shocked by the simple anti-Semitism that pervaded the place." - Jeane Kirkpatrick, former US Ambassador to the United Nations
There is nor ever was anything in my philosophy which goaded GWB and it was the Saudis who wanted Saddam removed.
Yea Sniffer you've done a great Job of creating anti-Semitism at the UN and all over the world for your vulgar greed...
The world was infested with anti-Semitic, knuckle-dragging fools like you long before I was born but it is common of you garden variety bigots to speak from both sides of your big mouth. From one side you extol the virtue of the UN and from the other you admit it is, at its core, just another anti-Semitic mouthpiece (somehow created by ... me).
Excerpts from Canadian PM Stephen Harper's speech at the 2010 Ottawa Conference on Combating Anti-Semitism:
“Jews today in many parts of the world and many different settings are increasingly subjected to vandalism, threats, slurs, and just plain, old-fashioned lies.
“Let me draw your attention to some particularly disturbing trends. Anti-Semitism has gained a place at our universities, where at times it is not the mob who are removed, but the Jewish students under attack. And, under the shadow of a hateful ideology with global ambitions, one which targets the Jewish homeland as a scapegoat, Jews are savagely attacked around the world, such as, most appallingly, in Mumbai in 2008.
“One ruthless champion of that ideology brazenly threatens to ‘wipe Israel off the map,’ and time and again flouts the obligations that his country has taken under international treaties. I could go on, but I know that you will agree on one point: that this is all too familiar.
“We have seen all this before. And we have no excuse to be complacent. In fact we have a duty to take action. And for all of us, that starts at home.
“I will mention for the time being that, for the first time, we are dealing with Canada’s own record of officially sanctioned anti-Semitism. We have created a fund for education about our country’s deliberate rejection of Jewish refugees before and during the Second World War.
“But of course we must also combat anti-Semitism beyond our borders, an evolving, global phenomenon. And we must recognize, that while its substance is as crude as ever, its method is now more sophisticated.
“Harnessing disparate anti-Semitic, anti-American and anti-Western ideologies, it targets the Jewish people by targeting the Jewish homeland, Israel, as the source of injustice and conflict in the world, and uses, perversely, the language of human rights to do so.
“We must be relentless in exposing this new anti-Semitism for what it is. Of course, like any country, Israel may be subjected to fair criticism. And like any free country, Israel subjects itself to such criticism — healthy, necessary, democratic debate. But when Israel, the only country in the world whose very existence is under attack — is consistently and conspicuously singled out for condemnation, I believe we are morally obligated to take a stand. Demonization, double standards, delegitimization, the three D’s, it is the responsibility of us all to stand up to them.
“And I know, by the way, because I have the bruises to show for it, that whether it is at the United Nations, or any other international forum, the easy thing to do is simply to just get along and go along with this anti-Israeli rhetoric, to pretend it is just being even-handed, and to excuse oneself with the label of ‘honest broker.’ There are, after all, a lot more votes, a lot more, in being anti-Israeli than in taking a stand. But, as long as I am Prime Minister, whether it is at the UN or the Francophonie or anywhere else, Canada will take that stand, whatever the cost. And friends, I say this not just because it is the right thing to do, but because history shows us, and the ideology of the anti-Israeli mob tells us all too well if we listen to it, that those who threaten the existence of the Jewish people are a threat to all of us."

Stealing land and not allowing the Palestinians their-own state IS the reason why you mix up anti-Israeli quasi-fascism with anti-Semitism...
You have been blinded by your History and I understand that you are an old victim of that psychotic state you live in, one filled with hatred for the world...
You're the one who brought up anti Semitism you deluded moron.
