How do we explain that the Jewish "displaced persons" (they weren't even dignified with refugee status) were rotting in DP camps for 2 years while the League of Nations bickered over the partition lines. How do we explain this to an audience that barely knows anything about history, Jewish or otherwise? This is the problem every time Ahmadinejad visits the US: he gets an open microphone and more media attention than our own president, yet no one is given the chance to rebut his comments with any comparable media coverage.

Argentina's extradition request is backed up by Interpol Red Notices.
