The U.K.

Expected to Join Ten Other Countries In Boycotting

U.N.'s Anti-Semitic 'Durban III' Event
According to the Jewish Chronicle in Britain, tomorrow the United Kingdom will officially become
the 11th country to pull out of the U.N.s anti-racism conference, which is scheduled to take place on
September 22, in New York.
Known as Durban III, the event is meant to attract world leaders en masse during the opening days
of the U.N. General Assembly.

The Chronicle reports that British Prime Minister David Cameron has taken the decision because he
does not want the U.K. to be seen to celebrate the anniversary of an event associated with antisemitism. Durban III is supposed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the notorious anti-semitic
hate fest that took place in South Africa in 2001.
The first Durban conference ended just three days before 9/11 and extremists from around the world
were attracted to the U.N. event like bees to honey. The streets were filled with demonstrators
carrying signs like for the liberation of Quds, machine guns based upon faith and Islam must be used
and the martyrs blood irrigates the tree of revolution in Palestine. Inside government part of Durban
I, U.N. member states adopted a declaration charging Israel and Israel alone among 192 nations
with racism and deciding Palestinians were victims of Israeli racism.
The U.S., led by Holocaust survivor Congressman Tom Lantos, and Israel walked out of the first
Durban conference. Ten countries refused to attend Durban II which was held in Geneva in April
2009. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad opened the Durban II conference, and was the only
head of state or government to participate. From the U.N.s anti-racism podium, he disputed the
veracity of the Holocaust, said the word Zionism personifies racism, and described Zionists as
people with ugly faces.
This time, Ahmadinejad will be speaking at the U.N. on the same day as Durban III but addressing
his remarks to the whole of the U.N. General Assembly. At the General Assembly last year, he
claimed that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job to save the Zionist regime.
The other ten countries refusing to have anything to do with this dangerous sham are Canada,

Israel, United States, Czech Republic, Italy, The Netherlands, Australia, Germany, and Bulgaria.
Fortunes for Durban III champions, like U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay,
received one more credibility blow today. The UN has just circulated a list of NGOs allowed to
participate in Durban III and it has red flags all over it.
Each UN member state was handed a veto over accreditation of any NGO that wished to attend. The
U.N. list says four NGOs that applied for a permit, wont be allowed in: organizations from Denmark
and Nepal that represent the Dalits (sometimes referred to as outcasts or untouchables), a littleknown group dealing with human rights in Iraq, and the Swiss-based U.N. Watch, despite its close
relations to the Obama administration and its support for U.S. membership on the UN Human Rights
Council. The objecting states are not revealed.
But thats not all. The UN stamp of approval to attend the conference was awarded to an NGO with
close ties to the Qaddafi regime North South XXI. According to the website of the Al-Qaddafi
International Prize for Human Rights, the North South XXI organization is its primary associate.
North South U.N. representatives use their U.N. speaking slots, for example, to tie Israel to racism,
genocide, and extermination.
Another anti-racism NGO approved by the U.N. for participation in Durban III is the Mouvement
contre le racism et pour lamiti entre les peuples (MRAP), which has used its UN platform to accuse
Israel of ethnic cleansing and apartheid.
Britains pullout will be a serious blow to the U.N. and Durban IIIs standing, and immediately raises
the stakes for France in particular. The French can expect a serious hit to their moral stature on the
world stage should they decide to stay without Britain or Germany.
