The Netherlands will not accept it if there are any attempts to call Israel a racist state at a UN conference in the South African city of Durban next year. Interior Minister Maxime Verhagen said this at a meeting at the Centre for Information and Documentation on Israel to mark the state's sixtieth anniversary.

The last conference in Durban in 2001 failed because a number of Arab countries wanted to label Israel a racist country. Israeli and Jewish organisations were excluded from preparatory meetings and anti-Semitic cartoons were circulated while other organisations failed to take any action to stop it.

Mr Verhagen said that the Netherlands was involved in the organisation of the new Durban conference and would not hesitate to withdraw if there is a similar negative spiral of events.

Well then don't go, because it's sure to be the usual UN cesspool of Israel-bashing by loathsome Islamo-fascist dictatorships and excremental commie thugs.

All western countries should boycott this stupid conference because it won't do anything worthwhile and it will merely be a platform for the typical anti-semitic derangement.

Kudos to the Netherlands - the only other country besides the US which stood with Israel during the ‘73 War.

But, this is the same Natherlands who had a 10 man SWAT team arrest a cartoonist recently, because his art was deemed "hateful" by Islamofascists and their allies in the Dutch government. Apparent the Dutch have an identity crisis on their hands...

Prepare to see that position collapse when their own Islamic hordes start rioting over their perceived ‘insult to Islam’.
