Egypt minister says 'world's Jews' cost him top UNESCO post

[oberliner]

Egypt's culture minister says a Western conspiracy "cooked up in New York" prevented him from becoming the next head of the UN's agency for culture and education.

Farouk Hosny says "European countries and the world's Jews" wanted him to lose.

He spoke to reporters at the Cairo airport Wednesday upon his return from Paris.

A Bulgarian diplomat on Tuesday became the first woman to lead UNESCO, beating out Hosny in a close race.

1. Tell him to have some chicken soup, a nice piece fruit and some "2 cents plain", he'll feel better

:sarcasm:

You'd think the schmuck would realize that saying stuff like that doesn't exactly help his claim that he only said antisemitic things because the hardliners "pressured" him.

2. A good way of demonstrating that the Bulgarian diplomat may be a better choice!!!
