But to those who gave this Holocaust-denier a hearing, I say on behalf of my people, the Jewish people, and decent people everywhere: Have you no shame? Have you no decency?
A mere six decades after the Holocaust, you give legitimacy to a man who denies that the murder of six million Jews took place and pledges to wipe out the Jewish state. What a disgrace! What a mockery of the charter of the United Nations!
Perhaps some of you think that this man and his odious regime threaten only the Jews. You're wrong. History has shown us time and again that what starts with attacks on the Jews eventually ends up engulfing many others.

The struggle against this fanaticism does not pit faith against faith nor civilization against civilization. It pits civilization against barbarism, the 21st century against the 9th century, those who sanctify life against those who glorify death. The primitivism of the 9th century ought to be no match for the progress of the 21st century. The allure of freedom, the power of technology, the reach of communications should surely win the day.

That is why the greatest threat facing the world today is the marriage between religious fanaticism and the weapons of mass destruction, and the most urgent challenge facing this body is to prevent the tyrants of Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Are the member states of the United Nations up to that challenge? Will the international community confront a despotism that terrorizes its own people as they bravely stand up for freedom?
Will it take action against the dictators who stole an election in broad daylight and gunned down Iranian protesters who died in the streets choking in their own blood?

Will you accept this farce? Because if you do, the United Nations would revert to its darkest days, when the worst violators of human rights sat in judgment against the law-abiding democracies, when Zionism was equated with racism and when an automatic majority could declare that the earth is flat.

Will you stand with Israel or will you stand with the terrorists?"
Hier die ganze Rede Netanyahus - mitten ins Gesicht von Mahmud Ahmadinedschad und Muammar al-Gaddafi.
Auch die Rede des tschechischen Staatspräsidenten Vaclav Klaus war überraschend gut und freiheitlich:
When looking for an appropriate reaction to the problems connected with the current crisis, we should build on the idea that the crisis was basically a failure of governments, not markets.

Global economic development will benefit from a removal of barriers, not from creating new ones because they would substantially complicate the access of poorer countries to foreign markets and their ability to develop by their own means.
Aber wie nicht anders zu erwarten war, bewies Mahmud Ahmadinedschad mal wieder, dass die UN eine geeignete Plattform für antisemitische und antifreiheitliche Reden ist. Die Auftritte von Diktatoren und Völkermordern bei der UN sind wahrlich eine Schande. Sie sind es die zeigen, dass die UN-Charta nichts als ein Stück wertloses Papier für einige Staaten dieser Welt ist, sie sind es die beweisen, dass die UN es nicht geschafft hat die Menschenrechte weltweit durchzusetzen und weitere Völkermorde zu verhindern.
Ahmadinedschads ganze, islamofaschistische, heuchlerische Rede gibt es hier zu lesen.
"The lives, properties and rights of the people of Georgia and Ossetia and Abkhazia are victims of the tendencies and provocations of NATO and certain western powers, and the underhanded actions of the Zionists."

Ach und im Übrigen, Obama hat eine atomwaffenfreie Welt geschaffen. Der UN-Sicherheitsrat hat eine Resolution einstimmig verabschiedet, die zu einer Welt ohne Atomwaffen führen soll. Nur, Gaddafi hat es ja selbst gesagt, wer kümmert sich schon um den UN-Sicherheitsrat.

Update:
Hugo Chavez nutze ebenso die Möglichkeiten der Selbstinszenierung vor der UN. Genaueres zu seiner Rede, konnte ich noch nicht ausfindig machen. Es ist lediglich zu lesen, dass er Obama lobte und hofft, dass dieser nicht durch Kugeln wie Kennedy getötet werde. Außerdem stellte er fest, dass er keinen Schwefel mehr rieche, sondern Hoffung.
