Israel Speaks
In late April the UN Human Rights Committee held -
the "Durban II" conference against racism in Geneva.
It was a continuation of the 1st Durban conference held in 2001.
Instead of real issues the conference focused on compiling -
anti-Israel declarations.
Many Western countries decided to boycott the Durban II conference.
A large crowd of protestors showing their support for Israel -
also gathered in Geneva.
The Durban conference in Geneva took place on the same week that -
Israel commemorates the annual Holocaust memorial day.
As Israelis were remembering the Holocaust victims -
the Iranian President blamed Israel in the Durban conference.
