1. Don't bother!
Ram ,   London   (09.01.08)
2. lets hope Olmert / Livni do the smart thing for once
zionist forever   (09.01.08)
The only reason they want Israel at this conference is to create an oportunity to pass resolutions condeming & humiliating it either by putting Israel into a walk out position because make it look ashamed or for the Israeli delegation to stick around and legitimise resolutions like that.
3. UN is a worthless anti-Semetic pig stye, stay home.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (09.01.08)
4. stay away from the anti-Semititc viruses in Durban
Framl ,   USA   (09.01.08)
5. Go the Canada way
Raoul ,   Israel   (09.01.08)
Israel must be explicit, as Canada, and say NO. That is the only way to protest racism - against Israel, at least - which is after all what the conference is about!
6. Contaminated UN can go to HELL
Brod ,   USA   (09.01.08)
The UN of today that is contaminated by Islamist-Jihadists is no longer the pure UN. It has become the mouthpiece of Islamist-Jihadist propaganda. America and Israel can tell them to cleanse themselve of impurities and stop being a tool of the Islamist-Jihadist world.
7. Israel would be crazy to attend
Marty ,   USA   (09.01.08)
You can trust these evil people as far as you can throw them.
8. Why?
Michael Ezrachi ,   St. Louis, USA   (09.01.08)
The UN is a morally bankrupt organization, Not only should Israel and The USA not attend the the durban hate fest, Both Israel and the USA should withdraw from the UN. All peace loving, democratic countries should leave the UN, and announce that they will work together with other democratic countries, and will try to assist and work with other countries, but, not under the UN. The UN is corrupt. In the aggression of russia against Georgia, the UN is powerless. The UN has outlived is usefulness, time to disband the UN. No attendance at the durban 2 conference, and no more harmful UN resolutions such as 1701.
9. #2 Isn't it a little too much to expect for
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (09.01.08)

Any interest in a handjob?
12. Iran, Cuba leading by UN and Libya are...
Sharia lesbian ,   Chop square, Riyadh   (09.01.08)
the Human rights experts. US, Canada and Israel have much to learn from them. Don't miss the show!
13. One can only imagine the *real* arguments for attending
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (09.01.08)
"If Israel, the US and Canada don't show up, how can we claim any legimacy? We need you there for show." "Going after Jews and the Jewish state is part of our nature, and it's your responsibility to come and take it. I mean, what's the fun of Jew bashing if you're not there?" "We're under the thumb of the OIC and radical regimes. They won't allow us to deal with hatred in the Arab and Islamic world, so we have to go after easy targets. That's you. Help us out here."
14. Eric No. 10 NEWSFLASH! SA is flourishing
Philippa ,   South AFrica   (09.01.08)
I am a Jewish South African and I can assure you that the Jewish Community of SA is one of the proudest, strongest and most vibrant in the world. We are not going anywhere (except maybe to Israel) We look forward to welcoming the millions of supporters who will flood SA for the world cup in 2010 - hope you'll join us and discover this wonderful country and its even more wonder ful people. The SA Medical fraternity and the care it provides is exemplary and amongst the best in the world. Go to www.sagoodnews.co.za and get the real facts.
15. don´t run but fight back
Charles   (09.01.08)
am yisrael chai
16. Follow Canada´s example
Barry ,   Tokyo   (09.02.08)
UN simply sucks
17. Hard core antisemitism
Stefan ,   Tel Aviv   (09.02.08)
Quite right, The Durban meeting was obviously the most antisemitic meeting since the Munich meeting organized by Adolf Hitler. Attending the Durban II is absolutely out of question for Israel and US. It is just utterly absurd that there is a Durban II. The first one made the UN position perfectly clear. Case closed
18. Israel should make no...
Soeren ,   Cologne/Germany   (09.02.08)
... compromises until the Palestinians decide for peace as well. And all they show is war. Let them show these utterly disgusting "Hitler/Sharon" comparisons (you can't hinder them anyhow). But don't compromise with them (you get nothing in return) – and show them teeth and claws...
19. 14# SA. is flourishing with racism and
Eric........ ,   Israel........   (09.02.08)
anti-semitism.Murder and rape is a every day way of life.The minsters of your country pal are stealing money from the poor.Dont go to SA YOU WILL GET MUGGED.The police do nothing too stop the violence.
20. UN looking to legitimize anti-Semitism
Arie ,   BaGolan   (09.02.08)
21. Israel Needs To Leave The UN
MK ,   Philadelphia USA   (09.02.08)
There is nothing else to do. The UN hates Israel and has made it the central goal of the organization to make sure that Israel is destroyed. Every day that Israel stays in that hateful and corrupt organization is one more step toward the end of Israel. If Israel found the guts to leave the UN then that would probably signal the end of the organization, since it doesn't do anything other than hassle Israel. It's time for Israel to get with the Swiss and leave the UN - the Utopian Nightmare.
22. Sol Kerzner started out in a little kosher hotel in Durban
Alan ,   SA   (09.02.08)
in the early 1950s (like the Catskills Hotels)-called the "MENORA" Since he moved on ,things have never been the same for Jews in Durban . STAY AWAY
