Jewish Groups Ready to Fight Durban 2 in Geneva
[Jerusalem Post] Abe Selig - Jewish groups are gearing up for next week's Durban 2 anti-racism conference in Geneva and are making final preparations for massive counter-protests. "We're ready to fight the good fight," said NGO Monitor's director, Prof. Gerald Steinberg. "The image that's going to be seen is one of a very active Jewish and pro-Israel community, which wasn't seen during Durban 1. Hopefully, we'll be able to roll back the way in which human rights were used there as a weapon against Israel, much like the UN declaration of 'Zionism is Racism,' which was passed in 1975, was repealed in 1991." "Human rights should no longer be exploited as part of the war against Israel. They should be universal and based on the frameworks set up after the Holocaust," Steinberg said.
