Just another UN flunky

This JeruzalemPost article details the latest 'must-earn-my-keep-somehow' actions by Jean Ziegler (who is a man) against Israel. Officially, this man is 'UN special rapporteur on the right to food' (yes, seriously) but just between you and me, he's a Kofi-wannabe.

Daniel Meron, head of the Foreign Ministry's human rights and organizations department, said Israel's ambassador to UN organizations in Geneva was instructed to raise the issue with UN High Commissioner on Human Rights Louise Arbour, and to call on her to disassociate herself from Ziegler's comments.

Meron said that Ziegler, a Swiss university lecturer and leader in the Socialist International, who is said to be Jewish, is a constant critic of Israel and abuses his mandate by unfairly "singling out Israel."

Meron said Ziegler spends an inordinate amount of time on Israel, and by contrast wrote a report on the situation in Sudan that constituted a "selected description" of what is going on there.

Meron said that in May Ziegler wrote to the US Caterpillar company calling on it to stop selling bulldozers to Israel, which are often used in home demolitions, or else they will be seen as abusing human rights themselves.

The Caterpillar affaire is true. Read more here. So this lowlife has graced these pages before. "UN special rapporteur on the right to food, Jean Ziegler". It really is a scream. No other concern but Israel, like the rest of the UN. And this man is a Jew also! Can it get sicker? (Wait, don't answer that...)
