Exclusive Coverage from DURBAN 2 - DAY 3: Bring Popcorn and a Tissue

Posted by David Weiner

David Weiner is a guest blogger for JewishJournal.com.  He is currently in Geneva attending the Durban Review Conference (also referred to as Durban 2) as part of a delegation representing the American Jewish Committee, composed of roughly 15 young professionals.

Armed with his laptop, still camera, and flip video camera, David will be providing continuous updates and sharing his own thoughts and experiences from Durban 2.

If you like good theater, then you would like the Durban Review Conference.  But you should be prepared for a tragedy.

It’s a tragedy that this conference, convened to address all forms of racism and intolerance around the world, has become a grandstand for Ahmadinejad.  With so many people and groups affected by discrimination and intolerance, it’s too bad that this conference has become focused on Israel.  It’s not that Israel is free of human rights problems and should be removed from the human rights agenda, but does it really deserve to be the entire agenda?

This conference, at least for the first couple days, has been more about style than substance.  I was in several important meetings today, “Racism: The Road to Genocide,” and “Human Rights, Discrimination and Islamophobia” – however, both of these meetings featured delegates from Iran and Neturei Karta making disruptive comments, walking out, and repeatedly attempting to equate Zionism with racism.  Where was the conversation about genocide happening in Africa?  Where was the conversation about how Jews and Muslims could actually work together on issues like Islamophobia? 

And then came the clowns.  The French Student Union, breaking in strategy from the European Jewish Student Union, formed a disruptive protest in the UN building.  Outside the meeting rooms featuring panels on “Discrimination and Poverty” and “Double Odds: Women overcoming discrimination,” the French students donned wigs and started shouting “Masquerade, Masquerade.”  Security had a difficult time rounding up the protestors, so the show continued for around 20 minutes.  Television reporters interviewed the students who avoided security, and the focus shifted once more to Ahmadinejad.

It’s a tragedy that this conference has become so heavy on theatrics rather than the core issues of racism that require attention.  I felt uncomfortable watching the latest protest.  Are these tactics very different from the Iranian delegates hijacking the meetings I attended? 

Anyone can go to the store and buy a wig.  Anyone can shout in the meetings.  But the real challenge is to find areas where we can engage.  For Wednesday, I have set up a meeting with two Palestinian NGOs working on Palestinian human rights.  I think we are all hungry to actually talk with each other.  Who knows….?  We might even find some common ground.

I am so embarassed about this as a Muslim woman.  Darfur deserves the utmost attention especially by Muslim leaders who have done nothing for the african Muslims.  I hope Jews and Muslims can find common ground, i believe that we can, and we will without the leadership of Muslim leaders!
Sincerely…Shalom/Salaam

Shouldn’t we get real and disengage from this which hunt which is looking only to try to undermine what Jews have spent the last 61 years building, a light amongst vast darkness.

I just read from the Times Online a story by James Hider, “Despite that, al-Qaeda and other terrorist networks have proven capable of carrying out a number of bloody attacks in recent weeks that peaked today with two suicide bombings that killed 73 people.

The deadliest was near Baqouba, deep in the territory that al-Baghdadi’s organisation once controlled. A suicide bomber walked into a crowded restaurant and killed at least 45 diners, including many pilgrims from neighbouring Iran.

A further 28 people, including five children and 10 policemen, were killed in another suicide bombing as police distributed food aid to displaced people in an abandoned building in southeastern Baghdad, security officials said. More than 100 people were wounded in the two blasts. ”

You missed the point of the wigs.  These are wigs used as costumes during the festival of Purim which celebrates the defeat of Haman, the Persian second in command to the King who plotted to annihilate the Jews.  These Jewish students were carrying out political commentary in the most significant way they knew how—and it was extremely affective.

“A Christian repairman is shot to death by Muslim gunmen in front of his workshop.” I don’t understand why there’s so much hostility between Muslims and Christians. I’m sure Allah would not want the Muslims to kill people the same way that Jesus Christ doesn’t want the Christians to kill Muslims.
