Mideast Debate Continues at Racism 1 Conference

The showdown continues between Arab and Israeli 1)delegations at the World Conference Against Racism. The head of the Israeli delegation 2 says a group of Arab nations has "hijacked 3" the World Conference Against Racism.
Mordechai Yedid says the conference declaration contains 2)fundamentally anti-Semitic language, even though the formal equation of Zionism with racism has been removed. "To criticize policies of the government of Israel - or of any country - is legitimate 4, even 3)vital; indeed as a democratic state, many Israelis do just that," he said. "But there is 4)profound difference between criticizing a country and denying its right to exist. Anti-Zionism, the denial of Jews the basic right to a home, is nothing but anti-Semitism, pure and simple." Mr. Yedid says many of the nations that have been attacking Israel have horrible human rights records of their own.
Just a few hours after he spoke 5, the head of the delegation from Yemen took the 5)podium to renew calls for condemnation 7 of Israel. Yemeni Foreign Minister Ali Al-Anisi called upon the world to put an end to what he called Israeli discrimination not just against Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, but against its own Arab-Israeli citizens. He said, "Such practices 6)oblige us to call upon the conference to condemn 6 these 7)racial acts in a clear way, and for the conference also to equate 8 8)Zionism with racism." Mr. Al-Anisi said the international community has a duty to protect the Palestinian people.
