The Danish Foreign Ministry decided to participate in the UN’s Durban II conference on racism at the ambassadorial level which is taking place this week. The controversial summit is taking place in Geneva, and is being attended by most EU member nations, as well as other global heavyweights; but several key players, including the US, Germany, Canada, Italy and Australia are merely observing out of protest.
Politiken reports that since Denmark waited until late in the day to commit to attending the conference, it was unclear until the last minute whether they would join the US, Germany, Canada, Israel, Australia, Italy and the Netherlands as observers rather than active participants.
Those nations have declined to participate in the conference on racism for various reasons. Canada and Australia declined over fears that the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will again deny that the Holocaust happened and speak harshly against Israel – which happened as predicted on Monday. Germany also declined over the Holocaust issue, but it’s unclear precisely why Italy abstained.
After the Russian chief negotiator changed the wording in the final document to condemn anyone denying the Holocaust, Denmark’s Foreign Minister Per Stig Moller felt it was acceptable to join the conference. The fact that the majority of EU nations are also taking part helped encouraged the Danes to follow suit. The goal of the summit is to help end racism and promote healing in ethnically tense nations.
What you find it offensive Jake? I dont see anything wrong with the word, maybe you can explain what is so di*k about it!! is it not Caucasian and ok word? They are the same to me. no disrespect towards any race as i dont see them as Colors but human races, but any ways please explain what is wrong about my terminology.
Aggi, what year are you living in ? The last guy that used the term Negro was Thurgood Marshall. Stop talking like a di#k.
Well opinions are free… let me reframe then , Zionism, dont get me wrong i did not meat to insult the Jews, as such,but the 6.000.000. death excuse was use in more that one occasions in various wars. About racist countries… isnt the USA still one of the most racist nations in the world, and the sad story of negroes around the world is part of post slavery.
I dont agree with fanatics no matter what side but people seen to forget about namy thing carried out by ” first world nations”. Dont we have he same class discriminations in Europe and the USA? The only different is Emirates that they are blunt about it. lest get over the holocaust, how many Easter European were also put in Camps and exterminated? and how about the Japanese with the Chinese & Koreans? the native Americas, the natieve Australian and so on , they dont count? or maybe they are just not important, but maybe the world should also be constanlly reminded about they suffering same as the Negroes where they not experimented on etc…?
Always the same lame old story about WW2 & WW1 please look better at the facts and the manipulation of History.

Dont believe the hype!!
Denmark is apparently scared sh$tless after the little cartoon incident. Better to try to appease the crazies. I feel sorry for Denmark. It has a proud history and it degrades itself by attending the Orwellian conference.
Well well, offcourse every forum on the net has its anti-semites, isn’t it Aggi?
First of all, I find it a bit strange that countries which are all backward dictatorships, countries which arrest, torture and execute people without a trial, countries that do not have elections at all (not even faked ones) , countries that suppress and molest women, countries that are full of bigotry and racism themselves (any idea how christians, jews or negroes are regarded in orthodox islamic states?dhimmi’s at best) use a UN conference AGAINST racism to spread their hatred towards THE jews.
You are talking about THE jews too. Do you think it is correct to label THE muslims as terrorists, THE christians as crusaders, THE americans as stupid agressors and THE icelanders as idiots??
I obviously represent THE jews too but I can assure you that I do not own a single newspaper or TV station. All I want is the small group of jews on this planet (just 15 million people) to live in peace.
Since roman times this has been impossible. Even thought jews never aggressed anybody they were always misstreated and suppressed.
If an incompetent and unpopular government was in trouble, what did it do? Blame THE jews off course!
Already the roman emperors did this . So did medieval rulers, so did the nazi’s (blaming the jews for germany’s missfortunes after WW 1)
AND SO ARE DOING THE RULERS OF EXACTLY THESE ISLAMIC DICTATORSHIPS WHICH ABUSE THIS “”ÄNTI RACISM CONFERENCE'”” TO BLAME THE JEWS ONCE MORE.
Blame the jews for their own incompetence, brutality, missmanagement and (unpopular and unsuccesfull) dictatorial rule .
O yes, Israel is so evil, misstreating the palestinians…let me tell you one thing, I feel sorry for the palestinians who are ruled by Hamas because Hamas misstreats them even more than Israel does.
Really Aggi, if some palestinian needs urgent medical treatment, israeli hospitals give it to them, not the surrounding “brother-countries” like Egypt and Syria…
And no matter how hateful the rhetoric of arab rulers towards israel, secretly they make all kinds of deals with Israel and if they need medical treatment themselves they will make sure to get it in Israel too (secretly off course).
Please have a look at the way a member of THE ROYAL FAMILY of the United Arab Emirates treats his subjects (strong stomach needed) ….this is the same kind of leader who accuses Israel of “torture” , just have a look at the kind of people you are suppporting, the prominent “participants” in this conference “” against racism””.

Quite ridiculous that Denmark stil went to this conference: every country which has any relevance in this world stayed away and that was the right thing to do: The USA, Germany, Canada, Australia, also Italy and the Netherlands….like it or not Aggi, for 2000 years racists have tried to exterminate the jews….but they will always FAIL!
AGGI “So what is he wants to deny the holocaust…how more clear can it get in how powerful the Zionist state is and how much control they actually have. ”
THE STATE OF ISRAEL, BY THE WAY, OR ARE WE GOING TO CALL THE GERMANS THE NAZI ESTATE??
THE HOLOCAUST IS PART OF OUR HUMAN HISTORY. NOT ONLY A SAD PART THAT SHOWS HOW MISERABLE AND HEARTLESS HUMAN BEINGS CAN BE, BUT A PART THAT ALSO SHOWS WHAT HUMANS CAN DO TO FIGHT INJUSTICE AND STAND FOR DEMOCRACY. AND THANKS GOD THAT THE ALIATES WON THE WAR, BECAUSE IF NOT WE WOULD LIVE IN A MUCH DIFFERENT WORLD TODAY.
THE CASE OF ISRAEL IS NOT EASY. IT IS A STATE THAT HAS BEEN ASSEDIATED. NOT ONLY FROM ITS OFFICIALIZATION, BUT ALSO HISTORICALLY BY ALL THE NATIONS THAT SOROUNDS IT. ISRAEL HAS HAD IN FACT AN ETERNAL WAR FOR SURVIVING.
AT SOME HISTORICAL POINTS MOST OF ITS POPULATION HAS BEEN FORCED TO LEAVE THAT LAND, AND FORCED TO LIVE IN STRANGE COUNTRIES. AND WE KNOW THE SORT OF TREAT JEWS HAVE GOT ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
THIS HAS HAPPENED NOT ONLY TO ISRAEL, BUT ALSO TO OTHER NATIONS OF THE WORLD. BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE TO STRONG TO BE DEFEATED, SPECIALLY WHEN THEIR FAITH MADE THEM OVERCOME THE WORST OF THE SITUATIONS AND KEEP GOING ON AFTER THEM, AGAIN AND AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN.
THE HOLOCAUST IS ONE OF THE MOST HORRIBLE CHAPTERS OF HUMAN HISTORY WERE ROUGHLY MORE THAN 6.000.000 MILLIONS OF HUMAN BEINGS ( CIVILIANS) WERE SYSTEMATICALLY EXTERMINATED, TORTURED, USED IN DIFFERENT SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS, JUST LIKE ANIMALS, OR EVEN WORSE THAN THAT. NO COMPASSION AT ALL WAS SHOWN TO THEM. AND I DON´T WANT TO ADD MORE TO DESCRIBE WHAT THE HOLOCAUST WAS ABOUT BUT JUST TO SAY THAT DURING THE HOLOCAUST HELL WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE EARTH.
THE SITUATION OF ISRAEL AND PALESTINA, IS A VERY DIFFERENT SITUATION. A SITUATION WERE CIVILIANS ARE DYING, BUT ALSO IS A SITUATION IN WICH ISRAEL IS IN A WAR WITH A MILITARY FORCE THAT IS ATTACKING THE COUNTRY.
THERE ARE CITIZENS OF ISRAEL THAT ARE OF ARAB ORIGIN, MUSLIM AND CHRISTIANS, AND THEY ARE ALL VERY WELL INTEGRATED IN A PEACEFUL SOCIETY. EVEN THOSE WHO LIVE AT THE OTHER SIDE AND COME TO WORK RECEIVE A VERY GOOD TREATMENT.
ALL THE SITUATION OF CIVILIANS DIYING IS VERY COMPLEX ( BOTH WHEN ISRAEL CITIZENS AND PALESTINIAN DIE) IT IS VERY COMPLEX BECAUSE ISRAEL USES SOLDIERS THAT ARE TRAINED FOR THAT, BUT PALESTINIANS USE CIVILIANS TO ATTACK ISRAEL IN ALL WAYS POSSIBLE.
PREGNET WOMEN WEARING SUICIDAL BOMBS. CHILDREN WEARING SUICIDAL BOMBS. YOUNGS UNDER THE AGE OF 16 FORCED TO PARTICIPATE IN WAR… ETC.. ETC..
TO START WITH PALESTINIANS THEMSELVES ARE THE PRINCIPAL CAUSE OF THE BREAKING OF HUMAN RIGHTS AGAINST THEIR OWN PEOPLE.
-CHILDREN SHOULD NOT PARTICIPATE OF WAR, NOR ANY CIVILIANS
-MILITARY POSITIONS SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS OR ANY OTHER IMPORTANT CIVIL CENTER OR POPULATED AREA.
WHAT HAPPENED RECENTLY WAS INEVITABLE… DO YOU THINK WE ARE SO HEARTLESS AND SICK THAT WE LIKE TO BOMB INNOCENT KIDS AND PEOPLE?
DO YOU THINK THAT ISRAEL IS A STATE THAT DELIVERATELY PLANS TO BOMB SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS??
OF COURSE NOT, BUT WHEN ISRAEL IS ATTACKED AND CIVILIANS ARE DIYING IN OUR SIDE, THEN THERE IS NOT ANOTHER CHOICE BUT FIGHTING BACK, AND ERASE THE SOURCE OF BOMBING WHEREVER IT IS.
AND ALL THIS IS BECAUSE WE ARE READY FOR EVERYTHING BUT FOR SURRENDING NOW THAT WE HAVE FOUGHT SO MUCH TO AT LEAST RECOVER THE SOVEREIGNTY OF OUR LAND.
AND YES, WE ARE STRONG, STRONGER THAN ANYONE OF YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE. WE TRIED TO BE AMONG THE SIMPLE, THE QUITE LAMBS GUIDED BY GOD, AND IT DID NOT MAKE US ANY GOOD TO TRUST THAT OTHER NATIONS WOULD EVER RESPECT US…
AND FOR THAT AND MANY OTHER REASONS, WHEN AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT HAPPENED IS NOT REALLY EXPOSED, A REAL EXPLANATION IN WICH THE CRIMES OF HAMAS AGAINST THEIR OWN CIVILIANS IS EXPOSED, THEN IT MAKES NO SENSE THAT ISRAEL, OR ANY OTHER NATION THAT DEFENDS HUMAN RIGHTS IS PRESENT TO TAKE PART OF SUCH THEATER!!
LOOK, WATCH THE WAY HAMAS KILLS IT OWNS PEOPLE IN PALESTINE!!
ISN´T IT THIS BREAKING THE HUMAN RIGHTS!!! CAMON!!

I DONT THINK YOU SEE THE MILITARS IN ISRAEL DOING THIS TO ISRAEL CIVILIANS. AND GOD HAS MERCY ON THE PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS THAT HAD TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS. BECAUSE NO ONE IS HAPPY ABOUT IT…
AND THIS IS ABOUT HAMAS USING CHILDREN AS HUMAN SHIELD..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWqJfx5T1gU&feature=PlayList&p=02594C36711DAB38&index=18
THIS IS HAMAS USING A UNITED NATIONS AMBULANCE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oesBeCFAlg&NR=1
WHERE ARE ALL THE NATIONS CONDENNING THIS?? NOTHING IS GOING TO BE SOLVED UNTIL HAMAS STOPS USING CIVILIANS IN THE WAR. NOTHING!!
SO YES, WE DON´T WANT TO PARTICIPATE WHILE THE REAL PERPETRATORS OF ALL THIS, THOSE WHO ARE FORCING THE CIVILIANS TO PARTICIPATE IN WAR, CONTINUE DOING SO..
So what is he wants to deny the holocaust. It is a shame on the other nations apart form Israel to walk out of the conference, a lot of talk about freedom of speech until you touch the Jews, then HUJU, no mere freedom of speech, come how more clear can it get in how powerful the Zionist state is and how much control they actually have. The speech from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was great and indeed he pointed out lots of world realities!! and the fact of the systematic walks out was a sign of his points including the anger shouts from many of the present at the conference.
