...Austria has decided to withdraw from the Durban III conference. Austrian foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Schallenberg told the Post that “we have no intention of participating in Durban III in September.” Austria has now joined the anti-Durban group of countries, including Italy, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Australia, the United States, Canada, and Israel. Schallenberg said that Austria has” doubts about the content and direction of the conference” and that is the reason for Austria's decision to skip the event. Austria participated in Durban I in 2001 and the 2009 Durban II conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

The Swiss Jewish community would like Switzerland to be next. Read the whole thing.
