Austria says balls to the UN by Jay Knott (02/01/12)       ⇌ (The left's inadequacy versus Zionism)       

''The United Nations cultural arm, UNESCO dropped the entire Viennese ball concept from its list of Austrian cultural traditions last month after protests from anti-fascist campaigners. UNESCO said the student ball – which is the only one in the programme with such political connections – had failed to live up to its principles which gave a "special priority to tolerance and respect for other cultures".'
