U.S., Jewish ‘Conspiracy’ and ‘Islamophobia’ Blamed for Arab’s Defeat in U.N. Election(CNSNews.com) – In a rare victory for Western democracies at the United Nations, a controversial Egyptian favored to win the top post at UNESCO, the U.N.’s cultural agency, lost his bid to a European candidate, despite having been endorsed by the Arab, Islamic and African blocs. Egyptian Culture Minister Farouk Hosni and his supporters had hoped he would become the first Arab to head the U.N. Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Instead, the 64 year-old agency will have its first woman director-general. Hosni attributed his defeat to a conspiracy, while Arab media blamed the United States and Jews. European Jewish intellectuals, including Auschwitz survivor and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, were among those who called for Hosni to be denied the Paris-based post, largely because of remarks he made last year in favor of burning any Israeli books found in Egypt’s Alexandria library. He later apologized for the comments.
Hosni’s candidacy has been controversial, with European Jewish figures leading calls to oppose it, based on provocative comments the Egyptian made last year. Asked by Egyptian lawmakers in May 2008 about the existence of Israeli books in a library in Alexandria, the culture minister answered, “Let’s burn these books. If there are any, I will burn them myself before you.†Hosni has admitted the remarks, but sought to justify them by invoking “the sufferings and injustice done to the Palestinian people.â€
