I've Been Thinking:

Sometimes people change.
Sometimes new power and new responsibility force people to change.
Sometimes it is only the language they use that changes.

In 1987 Farouk Hosni became Egypt's Minister of Culture and has held the position ever since.
Egypt's Minister of Culture has said he will burn any Hebrew book he sees in an Egyptian library.

Hosni is now the leading candidate for the head of UNESCO.
He is now using the media to repudiate his previous statements.
Today Hosni says that he deplores racism and hatred, that he loves all culture even Jewish culture. He is saying that he "deplores the nullification of others ... the defacement of cultures and racism."

New attitude or political expedience?
Is the future head of the United Nation's educational and cultural body a racist and an anti-Semite or a reformed racist and anti-Semite?

Israel has withdrawn its objection to Hosni and he will probably get the UNESCO appointment.
Eventually, the truth will out.
