U.N. disavows 'concentration camp' remark
No, it's not what you think...U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has disavowed an independent Human Rights Commission expert's comparison of Gaza conditions with Nazi concentration camps. Switzerland's Le Courrier said Thursday Jan Zeigler (Note: This is not Jan "Give it up. I said 7% bitch." Egeland.) , who reports to the U.N. commission on the right to food, called the Gaza Strip "an immense concentration camp" and compared Israelis to concentration camp guards, while speaking to a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Geneva Tuesday. See, it's not an apology for their BS over Gitmo, no no no, of course not, it's about Gaza, lol! When asked about the report at U.N. World Headquarters in New York Thursday, a spokesman for Annan, Stephane Dujarric, said, "Ziegler's views were his own and not those of the United Nations. "The United Nations believes that any comparison between conditions in Gaza and those of Nazi concentration camps is irresponsible," Dujarric said. "Such a comparison does not reflect the views of the secretary-general." Annan was attending the G8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland. Just as if he was, y'know, like a world leader or something.
