Iran Elected To UN Human Rights Council, Appointed To Plan Anti-Racism Conference. Hey, Why Not?

Natch:

Despite its numerous calls for Israel's destruction, and repeated denials of the Holocaust, Iran has been selected by the United Nations for a leading position in a committee that will plan the 2009 UN World Conference against Racism. The planning committee, which will meet for the first time in Geneva on August 27, will be made up of an inner circle of 20 UN member-states, to be headed by Libya. The decision to include Iran in the committee has been slammed by UN watchdogs. "As a UN spokesperson against racism, Iran will invert totally the message and mission of the United Nations," Anne Bayefsky, senior editor of the New York-based Eye on the UN, said in a press release.

Yeah, well. What're you gonna do, ya know? Here's a link to last weekend's YNet story about Iran's new emphasis on how Jews are like Satan. And here's a picture of a cat with a piece of toast on its head:

This Cat Doesn't Think The UN Is Very Smart. Or Very Not Anti-Semitic.

Whatevs.
