Anti-Semitism At The U.N.? Get Outta Town!

Rep. Anthony Weiner is coming out strong against the United Nations following news reports quoting Louise Arbour, the U.N. Human Rights Commissioner, saying it was a "good thing" for the British Union of Colleges & Universities and Britain's largest labor union (UNISION) to consider a boycott of Israeli goods and academics.

"The U.N. must be a force in the fight against discrimination and the rise of anti-Semitism around the world," wrote Weiner in a letter to U.N Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. "If the Human Rights Commissioner thinks it's a 'good thing,' to consider these shameful boycotts, she is unfit to hold such an important office and should be dismissed immediately."

Still no word from the U.N., but [given its history] Weiner probably shouldn't hold his breath waiting for Arbour's firing.
