Human Rights Violators: Peace In The Middle East

Immigration Minister Dept: In an explosive speech in New York City on Thursday, Kenney defended Canada's decision to boycott Durban III, which was taking place simultaneously. He further condemned what he called the "new anti-Semitism" which, he said, targets the Jewish homeland rather than the Jewish people. "If there's one thing the self-appointed defenders of human rights can't get enough of, it's camping out in five-star hotels in New York while slinging abuse at America and its allies." Canada's boycott of a controversial United Nations conference on racism reached new heights Thursday as Immigration Minister Jason Kenney marked the 10-year anniversary of the event by ripping into organizers, calling them the "world's most notorious human rights violators" whose sole objective is to attack the United States and Israel. "I am proud to be here in New York where my country is standing against provocation, and for peace in the Middle East," Kenney said, adding the "pathological refusal" of Durban organizers to recognize their failure is baffling.
