As expected by reasonable people Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad turned the second United Nations Conference Against Racism ("Durban II”), being held today in Geneva, Switzerland into a farce with his anti-Semitic and conspiracy leaden attack on Israel, the Jewish people and the West.
Previously Israel and a number of Western nations including Canada, United States, Italy, Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, and Germany announced their were boycotting the conference over fears that it would become an anti-Semitic hate fest like the original 2001 conference. Once Ahmadinejad’s speech turned to hate some 40 diplomats from Britain and France and other European countries walked out.
Meanwhile it was Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel. Nut jobs like Ahmadinejad remind everyone why the Jewish people must remember the Holocaust and the rise of hate that led to it and always be ready to take action to prevent both from happening again.
