Note
UN used as platform to analogize Israelis to Nazis. The context? The drafting of a UN human rights convention. Here are Libya's words in support of the inclusion of "foreign occupation" - UN language for Israel as the enemy - in a convention on disabilities: "We supported the adoption of this paragraph...because...the Nazis-one of their goals was to eliminate people with disabilities. So we want to protect them, to make sure that this does not happen again."
