The truth comes out when we think no one else is listening.

Ok, so this is now a classic. Or maybe even epic. A U.N. (unwanted nobodies?!?) interpreter who didn’t know that her microphone was on commented on the fact that the General Assembly was adopting nine anti-Israel resolutions and none regarding the rest of the world! Her exact quote which was being broadcast live and every delegate heard on their headset was:

“I think when you have… like a total of ten resolutions on Israel and Palestine, there’s gotta be something, c’est un peu trop, non? [It’s a bit much, no?] I mean I know… There’s other really bad shit happening, but no one says anything about the other stuff.”

All the delegates burst into (uncomfortable) laughter before the interpreter apologized. I hope she doesn’t get fired!

Here is the video (although the sound seems to be broken):
