The Durban II anti-racism conference was far from smooth running. The latest incident came on Tuesday, when Elie Wiesel, an Israeli Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Holocaust survivor, found himself surrounded by members of the Iranian delegation, who chanted "Zio-Nazi" at him.
Despite boycotting the conference, Israel found itself at the centre of controversy after a fiery speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday. The Iranian leader described Israel's government as "totally racist", prompting several delegations to walk out. The day after, members of the Iranian delegation in attendance took to Elie Wiesel, who had reacted strongly to the "hateful" speech. This video was shot by a member of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, an organisation that works to tackle anti-Semitism and teach future generations about the Holocaust.

I can neither be bothered to take this seriously or get angry about this kind of thing anymore. What is he trying to do? Help the Palestinian people, as he claims? It's so hypocritical.
I have a lot of Iranian friends and I can tell you that these insults do not represent the opinions of the general public. To attack Israel with the Jewish people's biggest ever trauma, it's a provocative, destructive and stupid attitude. His objective is obvious; he's trying to get sympathy from extremists. The only thing to come from that is the Israelis, feeling that the world is against them, becoming more paranoid and folding further into themselves. And just how will that help the Palestinians?"

Durban II, and the Jewish Lobby organized protests!
Submitted by Krapotkin (not verified) on Thu, 23/04/2009 - 20:45.The entire US Zionist Elite, also from other EU and Western countries were in Geneva, as well as the French and Israeli Zio-Jugend and JDL, to protest and sabotage Durban II, and the opening speech by Iran's President Ahmadinejad.
This Zionist protest was organized long prior to any knowledge of the speech content, but because in any UN sponsored anti-Racism forum, it's impossible not to raise the facts of Zionists racists policies, such Forum must be boycotted ans sabotaged!
The presence of such as Prof. Derchowitz, a pro-Torture US Zionist, Elie Weasel,Nobel Peace laureate, for whom 60 years of Palestinian Genocide is justified, one reason his "Zio-Nazi" epithet is well deserved!
By reading the full text of the Ahmadinejad speech, I did not find any of the Hyped Western Media accusations, such as the denying the Holocaust, or lying about the racist's Zionists policies of the Zionist State, that caused to Western delegates to walk off! Pure Hypocrisy on their part. Must have been pre-programmed, to please their respective Zionist Lobbies?

Ahmadinejad appeals to a
Submitted by Socius (not verified) on Thu, 23/04/2009 - 10:17.Ahmadinejad appeals to a whole host of people. While most Iranians dislike him for his domestic policies, and his somewhat crude foreign policy, it doesn't change the fact that a lot of Iranians, while not anti-semetic, are very anti-zionist.
There are a large group of Neo-Nazi's as well, who still remember the Perso-Deutsch alliance and hold ill will towards Israel. The best way to put it, I guess..is this. Just think about Mel Gibson for a moment. And there you have your answer.
Personally I have 4 Jewish friends, whom I have at least weekly visits with. But at the same time, I am strongly anti-Israel. How is that possible? Because Judaism and Zionism are separate. It is possible to criticize Israel, and not be a racist, because a multi-ethnic country such as Israel can't be considered a race.
Essentially...don't count on any Iranians supporting Israel. They may oppose Ahmadinejad, and they may like the Jews, but Israel is a Zionist entity and that zionist entity has in very recent times created propaganda films in hollywood, such as "300" where the Persians are portrayed as Evil, Arabic, Black, and overal brutishly unsophisticated, and "The Wrestler" which is just a plain old elbow to the shoulders, with the breaking of the flag which affects the feelings of 'Iranians' and creates hatred towards the Zionists, while bolstering the government and allowing them to say "I told you so...look at those evil zionists." Or perhaps "House of Sand & Fog" where a Jewish man, ben kingsley, plays an Aryan Persian Army General. Or this other movie where the black Rosario Dawson plays an Aryan Persian Princess.
Unfortunately for them, the Zionists try to play too many cards at once and will soon fall.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And NO RELIGION too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
In a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say i'm a dreamer
But i'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Ban such behaivor.
In an environment when sex is such a taboo it's no doubt that people become obsessed
with the idea, and Mahmood's comment is hilarious. It's such a shame to condem gay
people though, and seems a direct result of fear, which homophobia usually is.
There will only be more prejudice against gays in Bahrain now, unless the Muslim
community there are not listening to this draconian idiot. At least we know Mahmood isn't!
Let's hope the Muslim world wakes up to fundamentalists and starts enjoying sex again,
rather than demonising it.

So then, why is people such obsessed with protitutes, and put in public add men that
solicited sex favor to her.
So then, why is people such obsessed with Pin and traty of woman, if then they allow a
CEO PIN to run a GOGO or a Pornography Business.
So then, why is people such obsessed with people who smoke mariguane or sell it?
So then, why is people obsessed with anti-comunist cubans, and anti-Castro's Government?
Let's hope the prostitutes world wakes up to fundamentalists and starts enjoying sex job again,
rather than demonising it.
