lpv:spoken text	". I voted against the resolution in relation to the World Conference against Racism in Durban to make it clear that this conference has done the gravest possible disservice to the promotion of good race relations. The conference was hijacked by those whose sole objective was to attack the state of Israel and to ignore the fact that it is the one nation in the Middle East based on democracy. Israel was singled out by countries and organisations which have an appalling record on human rights. Even worse the language and the tone of the attacks had more in common with ‘Der Stürmer’ in the Germany of Adolf Hitler. And yet despite this no condemnation of the United Nations or the conference for allowing this to happen. The United States made it clear that it would take no part in these proceedings. The European Union should have taken a similar view. That it failed to do so was a sad reflection on its failure to learn the lessons of history."@en1
