Durban II and the Holocaust, an unhappy coincidence of history
By Ruben Kaplan for
Guysen International News
While thousands of young people and adults from various countries, as they have since 1988, marching through the streets of Warsaw, Krakow and Lublin visiting the concentration camps of Auschwitz, Birkenau, Treblinka and Majdanek in commemoration of Yom HaShoah Vehagburá (Day of Holocaust and heroism), and Israel will honor the memory of those six million Jews who were massacred by the Nazis before and during the Second World War, Geneva, Switzerland, celebrates the World Conference against Racism and Xenophobia Durban II, an event whose very purpose is to demonize Israel, spread Judeophobia, throwing all criticism of Islam and attack the West. And if off, the start time of the Durban II summit coincided with the 120 anniversary of the birth of Adolph Hitler.
Switzerland, the summit host of the notorious Durban II, is known for its disregard recited and neutrality. Relying on the foregoing, the chairman Hanz Rudolf Herz, who also holds the post of finance minister, received the Sunday before the summit, in a reprehensible act, the president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the stubborn and cynical Holocaust denier who has repeatedly threatened to wipe Israel off the map. The quasi entertainment
raving dispensed to Ahmadinejad by the Swiss President Herz, deserved the condemnation of Israel through the Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor Affairs, defined the Persian as "the representative of a regime that violates human rights, who killed and persecuted opponents and minority groups and exports hatred and terrorism around the Middle East. "Dignify this regime with a handshake, only reinforces the position of the Ayatollah and sends the wrong message to all those in the Middle East and the rest of the world, risk their lives defending the human rights cause."
In his pathetic defense, Hans Rudolf Herz, in a radio interview defended the meeting with his colleague Mahmoud Ahmadinejad saying the criticism was not justified. "Switzerland is a neutral country and not part of any alliance," adding that it is part of the tradition of his country to offer its mediation services.
The role that Federer was left to the country during the Second World War, led to many controversies. In particular, Switzerland has been accused of rejecting thousands of Jewish refugees, sometimes delivering them to the German authorities, thus condemning them to certain death, to buy the gold belonging to Jews, which was stolen by the Nazis, and subsequently rejected delivery of assets deposited in its banks, allegedly good collection, by investors who were killed in the war. It has also been accused of helping prolong the war, supplying military equipment to the Third Reich. However
former Swiss President Kaspar Williger in 1995 apologized for the conduct of his country to the Jews, the current president Herz, with its embrace of reception last Sunday when Ahmadinejad raving, consistent with its dark past, protects from other interests, the agreement of the Swiss-Iranian consortium Erdgas-Elektrizitätsgesellschaft Laufenburg (EGL) and the National Iranian Gas Export Company (Nigec) who sealed their union with a contract for 30,000 million dollars was signed in Tehran.
As expected, Monday 20 April, the UN Conference Against Racism Durban II, developed in the absence of Israel, Canada, USA, Germany, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands and Poland, who refused to participate , clearly revealed its true nature.
just started his virulent speech at the conference that follows the 2001 Durban summit, the wicked Ahmadinejad began talking about "racist government" and "racism barbaric", referring to Israel.
"After World War II they resorted to military aggression to make an entire nation became homeless under the guise of Jewish suffering." "And they sent immigrants from Europe, America and elsewhere to establish a totally racist government in occupied Palestine."
Ahmadinejad's outbursts, which was interrupted and heckled by protesters wearing wigs clowns, who shouted racist, raised the immediate withdrawal of the enclosure, of 23 delegates who left their seats when the Iranian president insisted on accusing Israel of exercising a "cruel and repressive racist regime" against the Palestinians. "We must make efforts to end the abuses of the Zionists and their supporters. "
Criticism of inflamed hatred rant were instant. Washington condemned
Ahmadinejad's speech as "vile and hateful", while the Vatican (which did not leave the room) called it "extreme and unacceptable."
Navi Pillay, the High Commissioner for Human Rights of the UN, who had criticized the U.S. for its refusal to participate in the Summit, said the speech was "disgusting" and "detestable."
"I was shocked and deeply saddened by everything he said," said Pillay told reporters. "I do not think, however, that his conduct is no justification for any member of State left the conference." The outcome leaves the High Commissioner to the complaint unsubstantiated.
"As heinous anti-Semitic remarks have no place in a forum of the UN anti-racism, "said British Ambassador Peter Gooderham, whose country decided not to send a minister to Geneva, but validated by his presence as well as France Summit of shame.
For his part, French President Nicolas Sarkozy "condemned the hateful speech" and requested by the European Union reactions "extreme firmness" citing it as a serious "lack of respect for the values \u200b\u200bof the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. "
The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon deplored the speech that led to dozens of delegates to leave their seats, another setback who joined the boycott of the US-led conference and followed by other countries. "I regret the use of this platform by the Iranian president to acknowledge, divide and even cause," he said. Adding in a press conference at the end of the day: "This was a very uncomfortable experience for me as Secretary General."
"I had not seen or experienced this type of procedure as harmful to the assembly of the conference, by any member state. This was a totally unacceptable situation," he added. You seem to forget
Ban Ki-Moon that Ahmadinejad was feted on September 25, 2008 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York by the Catholic priest Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann President of the General Assembly of the United Nations who embrace by, recognized him as the guest of honor, before a speech in that venue, similar to today.
Although most Ahmadinejad returned to the compound when he finished speaking, the Czech Republic said that his delegation would not participate in the conference.
Ahmadinejad's speech was televised live in Iran. The transmission was abruptly interrupted when the European delegates withdrew in protest, of course, was resumed at the end of it, when some Arab and Third World countries applauded mildly.
On Tuesday 21 April, in Israel, with a contrite heart, it remembers the victims of the Holocaust, the greatest crime in human history. By an ironic coincidence, Durban II, the president of Iran, Ahmoud Ahmadinejad, who denies the irrefutable historical fact and threatening another genocide is allowed to speak at an area sponsored by the United Nations.
With unconcealed pain, Israeli President Shimon Peres declared: "Nazism was defeated, but anti-Semitism is still breathing."
