That is a speech is bigoted hate inducing unsupported diatribe. The man claims to know the all the problems of an area from Morrocco to Pakistan because he lives in Israel even though he says Israel is not a cause of the problem."

Sept 2002 Worldpress article, from July 2002 Al-Ra'i article

quote from article:

"Now that Rima Khalaf has moved to the United Nations as director of the Arab regional office in the U.N. Development Program, she has taken the same idea and expanded it to cover 22 Arab countries in order to make clear the region's faults and give encouragement to those in a position to instigate reform.

The team she chose and led was 100-percent Arab in order to avoid accusations of bias against the Arabs or of focusing on negative points in an attempt to distort the image of the Arabs in the world, according to the conspiracy theory. "

"The Arab development report hangs out the Arabs' dirty washing before the world and offers a wealth of information that mars the image of the Arabs in the world, but unfortunately the information is correct. Perhaps the most Arab regimes will do after reading it is to pressure Kofi Annan to move Rima Khalaf and ask her to pack her bags and return to her home in Amman. "
