Breaking: Ahmadinejad To Grace Durban II With His Anti-Racist Presence

Personal

This is from an email blast that Eye On The UN just sent out. There's no link yet but I assume it'll be up on their site in the next few hours. In the meantime, of course he'll be attending:

EYEontheUN has learned that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has announced his intention to attend the Durban II "anti-racism" conference... But Ahmadinejad denies the Holocaust, has advocated genocide and openly seeks the annihilation of the state of Israel. In providing a hatemonger with a global platform - under the banner of an anti-racism conference - the United Nations has become an enabler of genocide. Anne Bayefsky, Editor of EYEontheUN urged: "It is time for every decent self-respecting democratic state to withdraw immediately from Durban II - the platform for genocide."

Eye on the UN's Anne Bayefsky has been following Durban II's charming preparations over at NRO. It sounds like it'll be be a real barn-burner:

Iran made 13 suggestions... Syria intervened to help draft a "human rights" declaration five times. By comparison, the Czech Republic, on behalf of the 27 members of the European Union, had something to say six times. When U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice gives speeches about the glories of being there, this what being there actually means... Iran also suggested a new paragraph concerned with "defamation of religions." That's the alleged criticism of a religion, not concern with human rights. The targets are anything religious fanatics think "project . . . negative, insulting and derogatory images of religions and religious personalities." And by the way the concern is not with any religion, but "Islam in particular."

The Obama administration, by the by, has still to give up the ghost on attending the hatefest. Maybe Obama officials can arrange an "impromptu" meeting between US and Iranian dignitaries in the hallway.

They did that on West Wing once and it totally worked!
