If Ali Treiki, Libya’s Ambassador to the United Nations, is to be believed, Jews not only are “the worst people on earth” but they control pornography in New York. Treiki, delivering an anti-Semitic tirade before the General Assembly today, remarked that if one were to look around New York City one would see that the owners of the “porno houses” are Jews who are exploiting the American people. He also called on the General Assembly to work for the elimination “of the Zionist entity.”
