very funny..if someone was holding a meeting about islam and terrorism all the
western countries along with the zionist state would go and encourage others to
attend too,but because its about israel and the suffering its causing in
palestine everybody is being encouraged not to attend,and every western country
that refuses to attend you know whose running that country?JEWS.
Worried Israel lobbies against anti-racism forum

Former Israeli UN ambassador Dan Gillerman asks Australia not to send a
delegation to a UN conference on racism known as "Durban II".
"Keep away from Durban," Dan Gillerman told Australian daily The Age on
Monday, adding that the forum would be used as a platform to bash Israel.
The United Nations is scheduled to hold the 2009 World Conference Against
Racism in Geneva in April.
Israel's ambassador to the UN from 2003 until September last year also said
the conference was a "charade".
"Countries like Australia who, to my mind, represents the best of what
democracy and civilization can be, shouldn't take part in this charade,"
Gillerman said.
In November, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni announced that Israel would
boycott the conference because "it was turning once again into an anti-Israeli
tribunal".
Last month, Canada announced that it was also boycotting the conference.
France, Britain and the Netherlands may also pull out, while the United States
is sending diplomats next week to participate in preparatory meetings for the
forum.
Israel also has been pressing the Obama administration to stay away from the
meeting, according to US officials.
However, the State Department said in a statement Saturday, "the intent of our
participation is to work to try to change the direction in which the review
conference is heading."
During the Bush administration the US and Israel walked out of the first UN
conference on racism in Durban, South Africa in 2001 over efforts to pass a
resolution comparing Zionism to racism.
Those efforts failed but there are signs the resolution may be reintroduced at
the "Durban II" meeting in Geneva.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy
Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
