Jewish Voice for Peace
Delegates from across the globe came together in Geneva, Switzerland for the 2009 Durban Review Conference, also known as Durban II. The goal of the conference is to see how far countries have come in implementing goals set by the World Conference against Racism in Durban, South Africa, in 2001…Over the years, we’ve learned the hard way that you can’t always believe what you read, so we decided to go there ourselves and give you a unique and more complex view of what’s happening, from a Jewish peace and justice perspective. We sent Jewish Voice for Peace communications director and Muzzlewatch blog editor Cecilie Surasky to cover the conference so we could provide an alternative to Israel’s recently announced Durban Review Conference publicity campaign (you can read about that too at http://www.muzzlewatch.com/ ).
