Anshel Pfeffer, Haaretz Correspondent: Israel to boycott UN conference on human rights and racism
Talkback
Title: So Durban is not anti-semitic? Let`s look at the last conference Name: Conroy City: Philadelphia State:
So this Durban conference isn`t anti-semitic, only anti-Israel you say? Well, let`s take a gander at the last Durban "human rights" conference in 2001, and these are just but a few examples: The Arab Lawyers Union handed out pamphlets filled with grotesque caricatures of hook-nosed Jews depicted as Nazis with pots of money nearby; fliers with a photo of Hitler and the following question: "What if Hitler had won? There would be no Israel;In a Palestinian-led march a placard was held reading "Hitler Should Have Finished the Job."; copies of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" was being sold on the conference floor. This conference was so racist even major human rights organizations such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Lawyers for Human Rights, and Physicians for Human Rights condemned the anti-Jewish, NOT anti-Israel language heard at this conference. If any of you don`t think this is antisemitism and racism at its worst you don`t know the meaning of racism.
