A brief timeline of events:
– Iranian President says that Israel should be “wiped off the map.”
– The United Nations condemns his remarks.
– Iranian President calls for Israel to be moved to Europe and denies the Holocaust.
– The United Nations is shocked — shocked! — by the remarks.

Oops, I seem to have missed an event right there in the middle, right after the whole “Israel should be wiped off the map” thing.

A week ago, the United Nations held a “Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People” at the UN headquarters in New York City, which was attended by a man of many fruitless condemnations, Kofi Annan himself. There’s a map behind Kofi Annan between the UN and PLO flags that depicts Israel and the Palestinian territories. Only problem? The words at the top of the map clearly refers to the land as Palestine, making no reference to the separation of territories, effectively wiping Israel off the map.
