Where did todayโs spike in anti-Semitism, anti-Israel hatred and the growth of the BDS movement begin? Their newest roots were planted at the 2001 U.N. World Conference against Racism, which took place in Durban, South Africa 20 years ago. #Durbanat20
Israel ๐ฎ๐ฑ is condemned more at the U.N. than all other countries, and the 2001 conference on racism was no different.
