UN's Durban II Conference Against Racism?http://www.thebulletin.us/site/index.cfm?newsid=20082298&BRD=2737&PAG=461&dept_id=576361&rfi=808/20/2008 Sam Harari
UN's Durban II Conference Against Racism?
The Durban World Conference against Racism... in 2001, was driven by noble and just ideals...
To the dismay of the many who shared the spirit of the conference's goal, the debate degenerated into a festival of overt bigotry. According to the Canadian government, it spiraled into "a circus of intolerance."
And now, in anticipation of Durban II planned for 2009 in Geneva, human rights advocates and government officials alike predict it will be just more of the same.
Some Background
The first Durban conference's condemnation of Western European colonialism became tainted when it omitted mention of far more recent colonial crimes, including that of Armenia, and China's ongoing repression of Tibet.
Arab and Islamic states attempted to impose an agenda declaring Palestinian victimhood at the hands of Israeli "colonialism and oppression."
Further, they attempted to equate modern Zionism, the belief in Jewish self-determination in their ancestral homeland, with racism.
The Sudanese Minister of Justice displayed perhaps the most overt example of the hypocrisy of the conference; representing a country guilty of ongoing slavery and genocide, the minister demanded reparations for historical slavery.
French philosopher and writer Pascal Bruckner put it best when he said, "It was like a cannibal suddenly calling for vegetarianism."
At the NGO forum, hatred for Jews (and by extension for the U.S.) was not veiled behind politics.
Anti-Semitic cartoons were circulated. Copies of Mein Kampf and the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" were handed out. A mob screaming, "You are killers," shut down the only session on anti-Semitism, one of the most ancient and virulent forms of intolerance. A number of delegates were physically threatened, amidst calls of "Death to the Jews."
Australia and Canada issued statements condemning the conference's hypocrisy. The Israeli and U.S. delegations walked out...

Arab Racism & Islamic Bigotry [that can't tolerate the existance of the non-Arab non-Muslim entity - Israel, though no one doubdts the fact that it's rather a multi-racial and multi-culture society with Arabs making up 20% to 25% of it's population with equal rights and freedom, important members of its parliament and in other high offices, whereas in racist Arab "Palestine" no Jew is even allowed to reside - ethnic cleansing] reaches a hight in [controlling the UN through its mighty oil, economics, bocycottings threats and terrorizing power] mobilizing the UN to "denounce" Israel, Zionism.

Arab Racism
One of the accusations which the various Arab countries (including Egypt and Jordan which have peace treaties with Israel) often make against Israel is that "Zionism is racism". Defining Zionism, the national liberation movement of jews, the victims of racism, as racism is particularly cynical, yet it seems that the Arabs have succeeded to convince the leaders of some nations, themselves victims of racism, to support this vicious accusation. The latest attempt to define Zionism as racism was at the 2001 UNESCO conference which was held in Durban, South Africa. The resolution which was initiated by Arab countries enjoyed the support of most participants. Especially painful was the support of such African leaders as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Some Western countries, however, notably Australia and Canada, objected and accused the conference of hypocrisy.
The Canadian delegation, for example, issued the following statement: "Canada is still here today only because we wanted to have our voice decry the attempts at this Conference to de-legitimize the State of Israel and to dishonor the history and suffering of the Jewish people. We believe, and we have said in the clearest possible terms, that it was inappropriate - wrong - to address the Palestinian-Israel conflict in this forum. We have said, and will continue to say, that anything - any process, any declaration, any language - presented in any forum that does not serve to advance a negotiated peace that will bring security, dignity and respect to the people of the region is - and will be - unacceptable to Canada."It was for that reason that both Israel and the United States under the leadership of Secretary Colin Powell, himself no stranger to racism, pulled their delegations from the conference. The final text adopted by the conference drops all direct criticism of Israel, but does recognize the Palestinians’ right to self-determination and expresses concern at their plight under foreigh occupation.That was only the latest attempt to define Zionism as racism. In November 1975, the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 declared that "Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination" In December 1991, the General Assembly rescinded this resolution through Resolution 4686.All those years the Arab countries continued to promote this false notion. It is therefore of interest to check how different things are on the other side of the fence, namely in the Arab countries.
Even though there are many blacks who live in those countries the question whether they are subject to racism was academic for a long time and one had to resort to circumstantial evidence in order to answer it. One well-known fact is that most Arabs refer to blacks as "Abed" which means "slave" in Arabic. This seems to say something about the situation of racism in the Arab world.
Today, due to the recent events in Darfur and the active role that the Arab Janjaweed play in the slaughter of black Africans there, this question has become more urgent and relevant than ever before. It is time for the UN and the whole world to fight it NOW http://www.gzyn.com/cmp/contentReadingActions.do?method=readArticle&id=31&edition=1&title=Arab+Racism

Only Racism Motivates anti Israel "racism" charges Constant campaign by racist Arabs
Anti Israel facsism: Holding Israel to a standarad, NO COUNTRY can. Just after pluralistic multi racial Israel has nominated it's Arab minister... [end of 2007]. No matter what Israel does -- the very democratic Israel that is enabling for Arab-advocacy & Arab propagandists to flourish, such groups that have a job of 'silencing real tracism, hatred & terrorism by Arabs inside/outside of Israel', via crying 'racism' on ANYTHING, good hearted Israel that faces imminent danger from a sea of fascism, Islamofascism or plain Arab racism, usually both combined -- it just can never "satisfy" the charges of "racism".The Arab racists know that, which is why they know they can go on & on & on about it. "Palestinian" Arabs: If you dare defend yourself, I will call you a "racist". How can one expect to survive fascist Arabs inside Israel that conspire to slaughter innocent non-Arab Israelis? How can anyone criticize indisputable vital needed security measures in the war on terror?
Why is it that a checkpoint on Jews is quite OK but a checkpoint for Arabs have to be connected to "racism"?
Is this double standard not racist?
Last but not least, Don't forget the good ol' Arab occupied UN that jumps on any "racism" charge, old or new, the body that would never voice anything on real racism by the entire Arab world on ALL it's minorities, without any explanation of 'fighting terrorists' insight.
