Get Ready for Durban II
[Jerusalem Post] Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi - This year the UN General Assembly adopted 14 resolutions specifically criticizing Israel, and seven more expressing support for the Palestinian people. All together, the 21 resolutions addressing alleged Israeli violations stretched to 61 pages, compared with only 20 pages for resolutions critical of other countries - including Sudan, Iran, Syria and other nations with massive human rights abuses. The 2001 UN Durban Review Conference was an eight-day platform for attacks against the State of Israel, in close cooperation with Iran and other Islamic regimes. Now the UN is busy preparing more anti-Israel resolutions and using U.S. tax dollars to plan "Durban II." In October, the UN Human Rights Council, which is hosting the conference, released a draft document condemning Israel as guilty of apartheid, accusing it of crimes against humanity and genocide. The U.S. has vowed not to participate without proof that the conference will not become another internationally sanctioned assault against Jews and Israel.
