United Nations – British Jews Protest Durban II Planning Sessions

    2

    United Nations – The Board of Deputies of British Jews, the representative body of England’s Jewish community, has expressed “concern” that planning sessions for the 2009 UN World Conference against Racism have been scheduled during the Jewish holidays of Pesach and Yom Kippur.

    “Jewish communities of the world placed so much faith in the original Durban conference in 2001 and attended in comparatively large numbers, only to be cruelly disappointed by the outcome,” Board President Henry Grunwald wrote to Louis Arbour, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

    The conference, expected to be held in Durban, South Africa in early 2009, is a follow-up program to the 2001 conference. Jewish groups and representatives were excluded from crucial planning stages of that conference, and the conference was marked by a strongly anti-Israel and anti-Semitic propaganda. The meeting culminated with resolutions calling Israel an “apartheid state.” Israel and the United States pulled their delegations out of the conference in protest. [inn]

    There’s no need for additional proof of the hatred and contempt that those low-life vermin have for the Jewish people. Only the A-LMIGHTY HASHEM can, and will destroy them along with their evil plans that they have in store for us.

    They’re attacking us on Yom Kippur. Sounds very familiar.
