Durban II in a Nutshell
From Geneva last week, working with Roger Simon to cover the UN’s racist conference on racism, starring Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and officially known as the Durban Review Conference, I filed a column for Forbes.com on the UN’s Durban II Debacle .
In that column I mentioned the two watchdog NGOs that have provided great insight into the tyrannical and bigoted underpinnings of this conference. Here are the video clips in which they tried last week to make their statements from the floor of the UN conference chamber — interrupted, in both cases, by an envoy of Iran:
Here’s the video of Hillel Neuer, of Geneva-based UN Watch. (And from the transcript below the video frame, here’s a sample of Iran’s attempt to shut him up. Note the objection on procedural grounds to Neuer telling the truth:
IRAN: Thank you Mr. Chairman. We should kindly advise the speaker to confine his observation to the theme of item number 9 and reframe from making references to names of countries—member state countries. Otherwise, according to your ruling, he should be stopped from continuation of his speech.�
And here’s Anne Bayefsky, of New York-based www.EyeontheUN.org
These clips are not only Durban II in a nutshell. This is how the entire UN functions. And, if you’re an American taxpayer, the biggest share of it is on your dime.






Didn’t know you’re a flaming Zionist. What a sad end to an honest journalistic career, keeping company with a mad dog like Cliff May and his tribe of Jewish zealots masquerading as “democrats”.
Durban II in a nutshell,indeed, with the ‘head nuts’ running the show.
A voice of reason of Hillel Neuer, cannot crack open a sealed nut.
The reality of 21st century countries funding Third World mentality and a 7th century mentality will be the undoing of us all.
Commentator, Brian is a verbal sniper, who would rather shoot barbs than address the issues-he certainly is not masquerading as anything other than a dimwit. So typical of his like, attack the messenger rather than the message. Like all trolls, he should be living under one.
Brian is the embodiment of the personalized evil that civilized people will have to deal with for the next generation.He derives his own self-worth from directing hatred toward those he’s been told are guilty of some particular fault, whether it be a personal indifference toward “the environment” or “the children” or some approved victim group. He has no clue as to how cheaply his supposed virtue is bought. He only knows that he has paid for his indulgence of hatred with his feelings for the right causes. At least when the popes of the sixteenth century sold indulgences they required payments of real money, not sentiments incapable of any accomplishment other than destruction. Perhaps the one good that can come of “cap and trade” is that indulgences can be seen for what they are in a real sense once again, and result in a similar backlash.
