The World Is Starting To Understand The Truth About The Durban II Conference

There has been a ground swell of criticism against the upcoming United Nations Conference
Against Racism better known as Durban II from the Civilized World. The nations of Canada, Israel, Italy, and the United States have already decided not to attend. Recently the rest of Europe was on the verge of not attending and in Japan, the newspaper The Japan Times, wrote this:

The Japan Times, the longest running English-language periodical in Japan, declared on March 10 that the U.N. World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance (Durban II) scheduled for next month is either cruel and mistaken, or blatantly anti-Semitic. After reviewing the run-up to the conference, the editors conclude:

"The charitable explanation for the mentality behind the Durban meetings is the mistaken belief that the best way to remedy the sufferings of one group is to victimize another. Less charitably, one could argue that Durban is an attempt to punish Israel and the Jews, regardless of what they have done."

Acknowledging that "on paper" Durban II "is an eminently laudable project - if you believe that the United Nations should promote grand statements that promote norms of good behavior," the newspaper protested that "instead of fighting racism, the conference looks set to enshrine it as policy by singling out Israel for criticism and equating Zionism with racism."

The Japan Times laments that Libya, the chair of the conference, and Cuba, the special rapporteur, "are not the only countries that desire to single out Israel for international censure."

All in an effort to stop the hatefest that this conference is going to become.

On February 27, 2009 the United States tentatively removed itself from the conference saying that a few conditions had to be met first for the Obama Administration to reconsider this decision. Those conditions are now met.

United Nations officials announced Tuesday that several controversial items had been dropped from a draft preparing for the Durban II summit. Among the sections dropped were those accusing Israel of racism and labeling the Jewish country an occupying state.

Organizers also dropped criticism of discrimination against homosexuals from the meeting's agenda. Several Muslim nations had protested the inclusion of the issue of homosexuality in the conference, as had the Vatican.

Yet another controversial issue dropped was that of European restitution for abuses of Africans during the colonialist period. Critics said the resolutions regarding slavery discriminated against Europeans by singling them out as responsible the slave trade, while ignoring the part played by African and Arab nations.

The changes to the draft were made after several countries, including Canada, the United States, Australia and the European Union member nations, announced that they would not attend the conference unless the anti-Israel and anti-Zionist draft agenda was changed. In Japan, the respected Japan Times warned that the conference would "enshrine" vilification of Jews.

Now that the conditions are met, I will expect to see Obama flip-flop on this and personally attend this conference. Why not he got what he wanted, and who cares if it turns into a rally for anti-Semities? That is exactly what will happen regardless of what this pre-convention document has in it.

Once again the Muslim world has pulled a fast one over the West and will get the whole world to agree to a document that calls for the elimination of all Jews in the world, the establishment of Islam as the world's religion, and the Palestinians people as the premiere race on the planet.

Adolph Hitler would be very proud.
