“As far as the conference´s agenda is concerned, "the train has already left the station," the head of the Israel-based NGO Monitor, Gerald Steinberg, said.

The major difference between the event in Durban in 2001 and the one planned for Geneva, he added, is mobilization by Jewish groups that plan to greet any diplomat or organization that "lends credibility" to the conference with demonstrations meant to "name and shame" them.”
