The conduct of the Canadian government is provocative and poses a serious threat to the integrity of the United Nations. It's intriguing that while Canada makes the baseless allegation of an anti-Israel bias at the United Nations, the Canada regime itself presents nothing but bias with this attempt to sabotage an important UN conference on behalf of Israel. The irrefutable fact is that Israel has been found guilty countless times by the United Nations for its sadistic treatment of the Palestinians, its unlawful occupation of the Palestinian lands, and aggression towards various countries. Since the defeat of the Hitlerite coalition, it is Israel which has persistently sought to disturb world peace with its ruthless expansionism and efforts to dominate the near east by proxy and vassalage. The Canadian people would do well to drive out this repulsive degenerate Harper.
Canada has withdrawn its support for a U.N. anti-racism conference scheduled to take place in South Africa next year after deeming it to be anti-Israel, a government official said Wednesday.
The so-called Durban II conference "has gone completely off the rails" and Canada wants no part of it, said Jason Kenney, Canada's secretary of state for multiculturalism and Canadian identity.
"We'll attend any conference that is opposed to racism and intolerance, not those that actually promote racism and intolerance," he said.
Kenney said that during the 2001 World Conference Against Racism in Durban, Arab and Muslim countries criticized Israel, prompting Israel and the United States to walk out in protest. But he added that Canada remained to speak up for Israel.
The U.N. declined to comment directly on Canada pulling out of the conference, but U.N. spokeswoman Marie Okabe said "racism is too important an issue for member states not to work out their differences."
Kenney said his government was left with no choice but to abandon the process, expressing displeasure with Libya elected to chair the gathering, Cuba appointed vice-chair, and Iran named to the organizing committee.
"This (Iran) is a country whose government has publicly expressed its desire to eliminate the only Jewish country in the world," he said.
