| UN interpreter accidentally speaks truth |
| 2013-11-15 |
| Thursday a United Nations interpreter, unaware that her microphone was on, uttered words of truth in reaction to the General Assembly's adoption of nine politically-motivated resolutions condemning Israel, and zero resolutions on the rest of the world. Under the mistaken impression that she was speaking only to a colleague, the interpreter uttered the following words into the headphones of every UN delegate, and before a live webcast audience worldwide: "IsnÂ’t it a little weird? There are nine or ten resolutions against Israel. And I know thereÂ’s a problem with the Palestinians. But there's other bad shit going on and theyÂ’re spending so much time on this." Laughter erupted among the delegates. "The interpreter apologizes," said the unfortunate truth-teller, moments later. I sincerely hope she won't get fired. |
