(Jerusalem Post) Editorial- The Non-Aligned Movement foreign ministers meeting in Durban, South Africa, last week adopted by acclamation one of the nastiest-ever anti-Israeli resolutions to have come out of that anyway automatically pro-Arab forum, including a recommendation that all members "decline entry to Israeli settlers." Even if the ill will emanating from Durban is nothing but bluster, it's still no reason to downplay hostile moves by nations which profit from Israeli aid, know-how, business, and tourist dollars. It's high time that Israel tells countries like India, Thailand, or Kenya that they cannot continue to expect Israel to resume business as usual. We must not voluntarily acquiesce to the role of a pariah, an international punching bag, and this at a time when we remain under attack in an illegal and unprovoked terror-war that itself should be censured by law-abiding nations.
