CiteThe “World Conference Against Racism,” better known as Durban III, took place in New York last week at the United Nations. It received less publicity than its predecessors, two conferences that achieved infamy less for their assaults on the State of Israel than for their displays of anti-Semitism.
This year thirteen other democracies joined Israel in boycotting the conference, and it is worth listing them: the United States, Australia, Canada, Britain, France, New Zealand, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Bulgaria.
That is an impressive group of countries, although one is entitled to ask why the conference was attended by other democracies–Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden, Greece, Finland, Norway, and the Latin Americans, for example. In all, one hundred and seventy-nine countries attended, making the boycott by those thirteen democracies worth special notice and applause.
Boycotting !
they should quit the UN and establish a new UN for democracies only , so they dont have clowns like Ahmadinajad , Shavez and Assad giving lectures.
Antisemitism is not the only evil in this world. More people have suffered and continue to suffer from racism and plaim injustice imposed on them by the so-called “democracies” than Israelis and Jews who suffer from antiSemitism. isn’t it curious that the 13 “democracies” boycotting Durban are also countries that were built and became prosperous after caucasian peoples annihilated indigenous peoples and natives, or enslaved Black Africans? We are tired to see any attempt to right the wrong the West has done and still does to the larger part of humanity be highjacked by the Jews vs Arabs conflict. We are sick of westerners taking advantage of it to refuse to face what they do to “people of color”. It is pure hypocrisy!
And the Latin Americans did no wrong in the new world? The Spaniards were innocent, but the English guilty?
much thanks alot
