Louise Arbour, the UN's "human rights" commissioner who's Canadian, got a negative reception in Sderot yesterday, and deservedly so, if you read
what her reaction was here. There was a video on CBC that showed a woman worker who ran after Arbour screaming "Our children want to live." Here's a translation from the daily newspaper
Yisraeli, November 21, 2006:
This morning, at the time kassam rockets fell, the UN's human rights commisioner, Louise Arbour, toured the area, together with Sderot mayor Eli Moyal. The visit was planned long in advance, yet it took a surprising turn in light of the kassams falling.
After the news of the deadly attack on the [chicken-packing] plant, they arrived at the area.
When the workers realized who the anonymous visitor was they reacted in anger, cursed her and tried to hit her car claiming that the UN one-sidedly supports the palestinians. Arbour did not expect her visit to raise a storm and tried to talk to the workers, but when the police escorts realized that there was a danger to her life, she was evacuated along with Moyal.
She deserved whatever she got. This was shortly after a factory worker,
Yaakov Yaakobov, was murdered by one of the attacks, and she dares approach under the auspices of the UN? Ms. Arbour, please kindly go home.
