20 years ago one of the most shameful moments in UN history occurred. The Durban Conference was held in South Africa under UN auspices and was meant to help defeat global racism.

In reality, it achieved the exact opposite!

The antisemitism of the original Durban Conf. gave birth to a whole new level of Jew hate not seen since the Nazis of WWII. A draft document that equated 'Zionism with racism' was only the start

The original Durban Conference was a farce but a farce that would have lasting implications for the Jewish state and for Jews around the world!

20 years ago, the Durban Conference did not stop racism, it increased it

Out of this utter madness, the evil @bdsmovement was spawned! The antisemites saw an opportunity to take their hate of the Jewish state to a whole new level and they grabbed it with both hands.

Now disguised as 'anti-Zionism,' Durban allowed the hate to spread

Fast forward to the 10th 'anniversary' of this evil event. So widely accepted was it that the original Durban Conf. was so intrinsically linked to antisemitism that the then PM David Cameron made the decision that the UK should have nothing further to do with it

He, quite rightly, refused to take part in the anniversary & pulled all UK representation saying:
"Ten years ago, the World Conference on Racism saw open displays of unpleasant and deplorable antisemitism. It would be wrong to commemorate those displays."

Fast forward again to today and to the proposed 20th-anniversary celebration of the original Durban conference ... Durban IV

The US, Canada & Australia have taken the decision, as they did 10 years ago to have nothing to do with this celebration of Jew-hate

The US made it clear:
“The United States will not attend or participate in any events commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Durban Declaration and Program of Action or the World Conference on Racism, which preceded it....

.....Furthermore, the United States stands with Israel and has always shared its concerns over the Durban process’s anti-Israel sentiment, use as a forum for antisemitism and freedom of expression issues.”

So what of the UK?

Here, antisemitism is still on the rise. 'Anti-Zionists' roam our streets seemingly with impunity shouting abuse from cars and attacking Rabbi's

The BDS and its British evil step-sister the @PSCupdates continue to corrupt young minds on campuses & schools

Why has our PM @BorisJohnson - a self-confessed friend of Israel and our community - not done as his predecessor did and announced clearly and unequivocally that the UK wants nothing to do with this grotesque celebration?

The answer is; I don't know!

Why are we even being forced to compile this thread.?

The precedent is clear. The reasoning for withdrawing from #DurbanIV is plain to see.

Right now, today, our community needs our friends to show them that friendship is not just words

So we say this to @BorisJohnson and @DominicRaab; what is that you are waiting for?

In two days the final planning meeting for Durban IV will take place. As it stands the UK will be part of this disgusting charade.

PM, FS, we ask you to stand with #Israel, to stand with our community, to stand with the US, with Australia, and with Canada, and say #NoUKAtDurbanIV!
