Comments on: Learning from the Durban Agenda http://blog.z-word.com/2009/04/learning-from-the-durban-agenda/ Commentary about Zionism, anti-Zionism, antisemitism and the conflict in the Middle East Wed, 23 May 2012 08:34:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5-RC1.1 By: Andre Oboler http://blog.z-word.com/2009/04/learning-from-the-durban-agenda/#comment-4866 Andre Oboler Mon, 27 Apr 2009 23:21:51 +0000 http://blog.z-word.com/?p=1239#comment-4866 "Why isn’t it news when NGOs express their solidarity with Israel and Zionism?" This is perhaps easier to answer than one might think... the details expressed here were not shared until now. At DurbanReview.Org we were following all the news stories related to Durban, both in the press and from delegates at the conference. The rally was well known in advance but things seemed to be moving so fast over there that few reports on the success of these side events was shared. More than happy to include a belated news article if someone who was there wants to contribute one. Our news thread on Durban II is here: http://www.durbanreview.org/reporting/?cat=3 “Why isn’t it news when NGOs express their solidarity with Israel and Zionism?”

However, WRT your last 2 sentences, I would need some elaboration to get what exactly you are trying to say. That Israel is vulnerable on this front? That Israel has to end the occupation etc etc.?
