Netanyahu offers UN interpreter a job

Prime Minister Netanyahu has offered a job to a Untied Nations interpreter who was caught on a hot mic saying that the anti-Israel votes at the United Nations are 'a bit much.'

This is from the first link.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu offered a nameless UN interpreter a job if she is fired from her UN position for saying in an open microphone that the world body treats Israel unfairly.

On Thursday, during a General Assembly committee's adoption of nine anti-Israel resolutions, the interpreter wondered out loud and into the microphone that went into the headphones of the delegates in the hall, as well as to anyone watching online, why it was that Israel was singled out when there were so many other ills around the globe.

...

Netanyahu who played the brief clip for the cabinet at its weekly meeting on Sunday, said that this was a rare moment of pleasure for Israel in an international setting.

"I hope nothing bad happens to the interpreter, but in order to remove all doubt I can say that a place of employment is assured her in Israel if things go in that direction," he said.

"Sometimes the veil of hypocrisy over the incessant attacks against us is ripped off, and this interpreter did that," he added. 

In the past, the UN has said it would 'take action' against interpreters who 'make mistakes.'

And just for good measure, let's go to the videotape.



Heh.
