Professor Alan Dershowitz: Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee

Harvard Law Professor Dept: The meeting of prominent speakers, that also includes former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, former New York City mayor Ed Koch and actor Jon Voight, is being dubbed a "counter" conference to the anti-racism conference, also known as Durban III. Minister of Immigration Jason Kenney announced in November that Canada was boycotting Durban III. Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press, according to CBC. "We believe the UN s Durban III conference is merely a platform to single out and demonize Israel. This was the case with the first and second Durban conferences where anti-Semitic literature was distributed and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivered a hateful speech towards Israel." Federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney will join Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel and other high-profile speakers at the United Nations in September to speak against a UN anti-racism conference that has been accused of being a forum to criticize Israel. "As Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said, when Israel, the only country in the world whose very existence is under attack, is consistently and conspicuously singled out for condemnation, we are morally obligated to take a stand," Candice Malcolm, a spokesperson for Kenney, told News via email.
