Ahmadinejad: REALLY afraid of a girl

Karnit Goldwasser gives more details of her meeting with Mad Mahmoud:

“During the questions we made eye contact, we looked at each other more than once. The look on his face changed the moment he realized who was facing him and what I wanted from him,” Karnit Goldwasser, wife of kidnapped soldier Ehud Goldwasser, said after her meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in New York.

Goldwasser managed to enter Ahmadinejad’s press conference at the United Nations building in New York on Tuesday, and told Ynet that the she was surprised by the treatment the Iranian leader received upon his arrival.

“He came in and started to smile at everyone. The reporters gave him great respect… As he walked by me he said hi to me, because he still didn’t know who I was. He thought I was one of the supporting journalists, and that he was walking into a place where everyone loved him. He seemed very pleased,” Goldwasser recounted.

Goldwasser said she was not afraid to present the president with her question, and asked him, “Hello, my name is Karnit, the wife of Ehud Goldwasser, the soldier who has been held captive for over a year. Since you are the man that is behind the kidnapping due to the aid you grant Hizbullah, why don’t you allow the Red Cross to visit the two soldiers?” she asked.

The president ignored the question.

What was that about freedom of speech, Mr. Ahmadinejad? What was that about the free exchange of information? And what was that about loving all people, including the people who live in Israel?

Israel is not a nation. Well, we like the people, yes, because they are victims as well. … We are friends with all people, Jewish people, Christians, different people of different faiths. We are, well, we’re in contact with them. Here in Iran there are Jewish communities; there are Christian communities; we’re all friends. Also, non-Muslim countries, we help them when a natural, let’s say, calamity breaks. We love all people.

Except, of course, when you don’t.

    Daled Amos quotes a classic line from the Corner

    If only U.N. peacekeepers around the world were as effective as the U.N. thought police stationed in New York City.

    And though this is only tangentially related, Parsha Blog parses that “nation” statement in true Yourish fashion.
