World Jewish Congress Commends Prime Minister Stephen Harper for pulling out of ‘Durban II.’

31 January 2008


The following resolution passed unanimously today at the governing board of the World Jewish Congress in Jerusalem. Please follow the link provided to read the full document: WJC Resolution on 2009 Durban Review Conference.

The governing board has also recommended sending this unanimous resolution to all UN Ambassadors. World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder praised Canada’s withdrawal from preparation of the UN anti-racism conference ‘Durban II’. “The decision by the Canadian government is welcome. It sends a powerful signal to those who try to turn UN bodies into a propaganda vehicle to demonize Israel. The UN Human Rights Council is just another example.

“We deplore these efforts because they do damage to the United Nations as a whole.

“It is telling that Libya is chairing the preparatory committee for ‘Durban II’, which also includes Iran, a country that sponsors terrorism world-wide and advocates Israel’s destruction.

The United States of America and Israel have also withdrawn their participation.

    ‘CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST’ ARABS VS ISRAEL ANOTHER ARAB MUSLIM INTOLERANCE CASUALTY:

    Being a minority in a majority hostile middle east - [”Goliath”] Arab racism & Islamic bigotry against [”David”] Israel

    Arabs VS Israel, The blatant intolerance that created the ‘conflict’, persecutes little Israel, isolates it, demonetizes it, and threatens it constantly since its re-establishment.

    Stephen Harper and his Conservative Government make me proud to be a Canadian again. He is the only Western leader in the world today who is honest, trustworthy and true to conservative democratic priciples and values.

    He is a rare treasure in today’s world of political corruption,lies, deceit, amd incompetence.

    Hopefully in the next election he will be re-elected with a majority Government.
