The South African Jewish Board of Deputies criticized attempts to single out Israel for condemnation at the upcoming World Conference Against racism, slated to start Aug. 31 in Durban, South Africa. In a statement, the Board strongly condemned the “hypocrisy” implicit in the call for Israel to be labeled racist being made by countries that are themselves “guilty of blatant racial discrimination against religious minorities as well as being violators of accepted human rights within their borders.”
