"The United Nations General Assembly elected Mogens Lykketoft of Denmark as president of its upcoming 70th session, which commences this September...
Mr. Lykketoft ... has demonstrated an animus against Israel. For example, as Denmark's foreign minister back in 2001, he declared that the assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze'evi by Palestinian terrorists was no worse than Israel's targeted killing of terrorists. In a glaring display of moral relativism, he claimed that 'all these types of murder, including what is called Israel's extrajudicial killing of Palestinian leaders,' are equally harmful.
That same year, Mr. Lykketoft called for the European Union to impose sanctions on Israel on account of its settlements.
In 2011, he defended the right of Danes to boycott Israeli goods 'in protest against Israel's colonization of the West Bank.'
Last year, after visiting the Palestinians in the West Bank, but snubbing Israeli officials during an official government visit to the region, Mr. Lykketoft said that 'the present Israeli government has no intention to contribute to formation of a sovereign Palestinian state.' He didn't seem bothered by Palestinian intransigence on key points such as the so-called right of return, the rocket attacks launched from Gaza or the Palestinian leaders' rejection of several peace offers that would have given them much of what they said they were seeking...
Now, Mogens Lykketoft will have a global platform as president of the UN General Assembly to promote his ideology to a largely sympathetic audience. Fortunately, the General Assembly has become little more than an annoying but meaningless echo chamber in which pretentious speeches and non-binding resolutions allow delegates to delude themselves into believing they are doing something important."
