A polish diplomat informed The Jerusalem Post on Thursday that the Polish government will not send an official delegation to participate in the so-called Durban III anti-racist commemoration event slated for September, 22 in New York City.
In an e-mail to the Post on Thursday, Jacek Biegal, a spokesman for the Polish Embassy in Berlin, wrote “Poland’s high-level delegation is not planned for the Durban III conference.” Critics accuse the the UN-sponsored Durban event with stoking hate against the Jewish state because its founding document attacks only Israel as a violator of human rights.
