World Jewish Congress: Boycott Ahmadinejad Speech at UN
[Ha'aretz] Shlomo Shamir - The World Jewish Congress on Monday launched a new global campaign to convince world leaders to boycott Iranian President Ahmadinejad's address to the UN General Assembly next week. WJC President Ronald Lauder said: "We ask UN leaders to send a strong message to Ahmadinejad, who regularly uses these forums to spread invective, threats and unspeakable accusations.... Member states have an obligation to show that the UN cannot be hijacked for the purposes of spreading the kind of racist diatribe and bigoted views which the organization was founded to combat and overcome."
