Merz met Ahmadinejad upon the latter’s arrival in Geneva a day before the United Nations was to open its first global racism conference in eight years.
Merz described the presence of Ahmadinejad at the Durban II conference as a good chance to discuss ways to mature bilateral ties as well as regional and international cooperation, according to the Iranian Student News Agency.
Ahmadinejad – who has repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel and denied the Holocaust – is slated to speak on the first day of the conference, which happens to fall on Holocaust Memorial Day.
Israel, which is boycotting the conference along with many Western countries, voiced explicit criticism of the Swiss president’s offer to meet Ahmadinejad on the sidelines of the conference in Geneva.
As part of its publicity campaign, the Israelis will organize demonstrations during Ahmadinejad’s speech, and will distribute materials on human rights violations in Iran – with particular emphasis on public executions and violence against women.
The campaign will be overseen by Israel Ambassador to Geneva Ronnie Lashno-Yaar. And it was scheduled that he will be assisted by Dershowitz, Nobel Prize laureate Elie Weisel and film actor Jon Voight.
Anti-semitism in full swing. Jews wake up from your dream before its to late.
For some reason everyone is afraid to debate with Dershowitz, even Buchanan would never debate with, dershowitz ask for it several times.
They are afraid because because he is too smart and too educated for them. A Flatbush boy.
#1 ..and now that we woke up, what exactly can we do? please send instruction sheets , step by step
They’ll give voice to that Iranian Nazi but not to Dershowitz? He’s a Harvard professor, but they’ll haul him away like a terrorist? I’m speechless.
Why are you speechless? The Swiss, under their “neutral” garb, were the Nazis’ biggest allies during the war. They tacitly condone anti-semitism.
Ah, Switzerland: the land of chocolate. skiing, cuckoo clocks…and anti-semitism to the point that the Shul is totally unmarked & tourists can’t find it because the locals are afraid. We Jews in the US have very little knowledge of Swiss-Jewish life.
