Durban IV – The UK Government must withdraw – NOW!

In September, the United Nations gather to commemorate twenty years since the 2001 Durban conference. It is the fourth gathering of its type – hence Durban IV. The original conference in 2001 was a pivotal event in the spread of antisemitism throughout the west. If there is any truth to the Government’s stated position of taking the fight against antisemitism seriously – any truth at all – then it must withdraw from the Durban IV conference – now.

A sinister need for change

There is no doubt that the past few weeks have been traumatic for Jews – both in Israel and in the Diaspora.  Whilst Israelis stood against over 4000 rockets fired at them by radical Islamic terrorists, Jews in the Diaspora were demonised, threatened and attacked (see 1,2 3,4). Whilst much of the world understands there is a correlation between events in Israel and spikes in antisemitism, they fail to correctly assess why this happens. Sympathy for the Palestinians and conflict fatigue blinds them, and they are left pondering issues such as misplaced anger and frustration. The truth is far darker. The core of the  ‘pro-Palestinian movement’ is not about equality or the creation of a Palestinian state to live side-by-side with Israel, but a genocidal desire to wipe out Israel and rid the world of Zionists (90%+ of Jews).

When this movement takes to the streets – what we witness and claim is ‘marginal’, are just visible signs of its true nature.

Those who dispute this – turn to empty western figureheads who only speak of peace as their examples, but these are not the leaders of the Palestinian movement. Elections have not been held in the PA areas or Gaza because everyone knows that Hamas would win. The Palestinians would vote into power a genocidal, radical Islamic terror group. Hamas, Islamic Jihad – the PFLP – these are the real leaders of the Palestinian cause.

The two sides, radicals and western peace activists, were rarely speaking the same language – and this was a difficult position for ‘Free Palestine’ that needed to change. The west saw Palestinian attacks as terrorism, today many view them as resistance. A successful shift in perception. That illusionary bridge between the radical Islamic desire to wipe Israel off the map and the western mainstream call for ‘peace’ needed to be built – and that bridge was created at Durban in 2001.

Durban 2001 -A multi-faceted attack on Jews and Israel

It is difficult to overstate the damage the Durban conference did to Jewish people worldwide. Although it called itself an ‘anti-racist’ conference the focus was on attacking Israel, Iran put all its energy behind it, and antisemitism ran rampant in the conference halls. What emerged from Durban was the ‘Durban strategy’, a plan to ‘ethically justify’ wiping out Zionism (90%+ of Jews) and Israel.

The Durban strategy was/is a long term strategy of demonisation and delegitimisation. The aim was, with the assistance of academics and NGOs, to vilify the only democracy in the Middle East – in terms that would sell the process to the mainstream in the west. Building on knowledge gained in the fight against real Apartheid in South Africa, NGOs began using highly politicised language intended to isolate Israel internationally. Terms such as ‘settler-colonial, ‘racist’, ‘apartheid’ ‘ethnic cleansing’ began to appear constantly in NGO output about Israel. The idea for the boycott movement BDS was born. Academics got to work too – producing the ‘academic papers’ this strategy needed for legitimacy.

It worked. Today all those terms appear in mainstream media worldwide. Yet this is not an attack on an Israeli policy or government – but rather one that targets Israel’s soul. All in an attempt to dampen the sympathy people feel when rockets are fired on Israeli civilians and persuade them that Israel is the cause of all the ills in the Middle East. The western mainstream had to be drowned in so many lies and so much distortion that they would eventually believe that the Jewish nation should not exist.

But you cannot attack Israel in this fashion, without vilifying the ideology behind it – Zionism. And when you do this – you attack Jewish identity, remove the rights of the Jewish people and legitimise the violence against them. This is why having swallowed all of the lies about Israel that are circulating, we are seeing a rise in antisemitism globally. It may spike further when there is an outbreak of violence in the Middle East – but the rise is occurring anyway. There is even acceptability or tolerance to these attacks – fueled by what Eve Barlow accurately described as a ‘social media pogrom‘.

The link is there. The goal of the Durban strategy was/is to demonise Jewish identity and justify attacks against it.

Durban IV – the twenty-year celebration is coming and we can see that responsible western governments have been withdrawing. It remains a celebration of antisemitism that threatens Jewish people globally. Australia withdrew, so did the US. Then Canada signalled they will not be attending. There is one notable exception. Boris’s Government – the current UK Government.

The UK must withdraw from Durban IV

The UK has signalled opposition to Durban IV but has not withdrawn. This shameful stance is nothing less than flirting and negotiating with antisemitism. It claimed that its opposition to antisemitism is ‘crystal clear.’ How can it possibly be crystal clear when it sits on the fence over Durban IV?

David Cameron pulled the UK out of Durban III in 2011. Cameron ‘did not want the UK to be seen to celebrate the anniversary of an event associated with antisemitism.’ This raises a simple question for the current Conservative government:

Do you want the UK to be seen to celebrate the anniversary of an event associated with antisemitism?

There is *no doubt* that this conference will descend into another round of unjustifiable attacks on Israel. Nor is there any doubt it will reaffirm and reinforce the strategy of delegitmisation. This conference will help antisemitism spread further.

We need to make immediate and forceful demands of our government:

Firstly – a clear demand that the UK immediately withdraw from Durban 4

Secondly – a demand that any NGO that does participate in these antisemitic hate fests – will not receive government funding. The UK cannot withdraw because they recognise the anti-Jewish racism and still justify funding the activity of NGOs that are connected to it. If an NGO is part of the attack on Jewish identity – they should not be allowed to operate with any public funds.

The UK needs to take the lead. It won’t be the first nation to withdraw, but it can be the first to take a principled stand against sinister NGO activity and participation.

It is no good waiting until later in the year. We must take action now. Contact your MP, Boris Johnson, the FCDO, write letters to the media – contact anyone – do anything to make a difference. Make your voice heard.

There is a direct connection between Durban and the antisemitism we see on our streets. The UK government must not signal any weakness at all or lack of resolve. They have a duty to protect their Jewish citizens. They must withdraw from Durban 4 – and they must do it now.

  1. the decline of the West is due to the defeat of Adolf Hitler….Xi Jinpeng.
    antisemitism is the surest sign of a healthy mind…HL Mencken.
    any people who have been evicted from many countries over the past 2000 years must be doing something wrong…. Henry Kissinger

    2. Charles Alban is fun to sodomize….any 5-pound hustler in London with some sedatives.

  2. Why meet in Durban?

    Meet in Gaza City where they can have a front row seat to a First World beat down of jihadi savages.

    Happy Nakba!

  3. Have recently been seeing/hearing a lot of people chanting “From the river to the sea Palestine will be free” which would effectively see the modern State of Israel replaced by a Palestinian state.

    But under what set of circumstances do you think that could be even remotely possible?

    I wonder….?

    ?

    1. You have to admit he’s effective with his activism Bellers. Of course, your tactics may make you happy too.

      1. Anyway, has anyone noticed how the Jew8ers here are becoming more and more like Iranian military assets? One day they’re here ejaculating their vile Durban inspired slogans and the next they’ve completely vanished without trace. Curious.

        2. They’re like Iranian warships: here today, at the bottom of the cold dark sea tomorrow.

      2. Ian, David and Scoffie have been telling everyone what they MUST do for years. The measure of effectiveness is the number of people that have jumped to it. Any guestimates you would like to share ?

        As for my happiness…..I will never be happy until Hull City win the Champions League

        1. Bellers, you’d do better if you followed the advice of Sir James Bullard during his famous pitchside lecture when he said “You win matches by playing the ball not the man.”

          Smart lad, old Jimmy.

            1. Your automated response carousel normally inserts the Livorno post here Bellers. Also missed your “happiest blacks in Africa” slogan below. Having a few tech problems this morning?

              Blimey, is this why Brucie and Michael no longer exist ?

  5. Let me know how I may be of assistance. I do not have much money to spare, but I can help by donating time.

    1. I never tell people how they can help – because every person is in a different situation. Take whatever time you can give – and make your voice heard wherever you feel comfortable using it. If you want something more formal – there are organisations that seek volunteers.

  6. Wonder what Brucey thinks about an Islamic Arab political party forming part of the next Israeli government?

    ?

    Even a certified loon like him will have a hard time accusing Israel of being an apartheid state when the people that are supposed to be being marginalised are actually part of the very government that is “oppressing” them!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    1. Quite so Ken and all very fitting with “Durban IV. This time it’s Personal”, just around the corner.

      It will be fascinating to see how they develop their narrative and adapt the vocab to the changing landscape. Maybe our Brucie and dear old Michael have just been lying low awaiting further instructions.

  7. Very keen to see whether our new government gets to launch itself, how functional it will be and for how long. Also keen to see how the trolls manage to tabloid-tag it.

    With Bibi it was a doddle; Nazi this and Fascist that with ‘apartheid’ inserted liberally for maximum effect. Now with religious Zionists sitting alongside right wing Islamists, Meretz and Labour in between it’s going to take far more imagination and innovation to come up with a satisfactory set of internet slogans.

    I think our old friend Charles from the first post above has nailed it. No “I’m a Rabbi…honest” from him or “Oooh look at this red faced old yid shouting at someone in the street”. He puts his balls out and gives it “Jews are shit and have it coming”, just like the Islamists in the UK, US and Europe. Clearly our Brucie and co. are still waiting for their memo.

  8. It seems you Zios do do irony after all. David is demanding respect for the law. This is is pretty ironic given the perjurersm fraudsters and ” dangers to the public” he hangs out with

    1. Wotchya on about Bellers ?

      I think we need some of your 2003 copy/pastes showing these miscreants in action. The more florid the ‘boat’ and the shoutier the better. Anything kicking around like that?

      Go on. You know you wanna. It could change everyfink !

      1. Got the one of Tommy Robbo at the Oxford Union. He’s one of the lads, innit?

        1. i gave you that Ian .I was starting to feel sorry for you. You were obviously getting very bored. Life in paradise must be pretty tedious. Might I recomend the glorious south beach at Bridlington ?

          1. Yeah, you lads put the ‘bund’ into moribund here. I couldn’t even summon the energy to post my own Tommy and the Jooos clips.

            Paradise is all well and good but if a chap can’t look forward to a gentle piss-take of some dopey Jew8ing internet trolls over his Crunchy Nuts, what’s it all been for?

    2. DUMB BELLamy, you know what’s IRONY?

      Islam calling itself “The Religion of Peace”.

      See, 9/11, Pan Am 103, London’s 7/7, Mumbai, Charlie Hebdo, Bataclan, Boston Marathon, ISIS beheading videos, Lee Rigby, Daniel Pearl, James Foley, pushing gays off rooftops in Gaza, …

    1. Spot on Bellers.

      How come your lot just vanish, never to be seen again. Suppose that’s Rent-a-Troll for you. Maybe they’re all protesting the new runway extension now.

    1. Trolls vanishing faster than Iranian Research Scientists, Ken.

      Any reports of falling fridges in the UK press?
