Shlomo Blass, an Israeli delegate of WUJS in Durban, confirmed that the atmosphere in Durban is largely anti-Semitic and anti-Israel. Speaking with Arutz-7\'s Elisha Dickman last night, Blass said, \"The Moslems and Palestinians are everywhere; they even burst into the discussion group on anti-Semitism and started spewing their hatred... One Christian girl came up to me and said, \'Regardless of your specific opinions, I just want to tell you that I admire you and your group for being willing to come here under such a hostile atmosphere, where you are clearly being singled out and targeted, and stand up for your cause...\'\"



Blass related some examples of the hostile atmosphere he and his colleagues face: \"We stormed out of a group last night where every single person there was screaming, \'Free Palestine!\' ... A flyer is being distributed with a picture of Hitler, with the caption, \'If I had won, there would be no Israel and no Palestinian bloodshed...\' The place is swarming with pictures of Jews with fangs and crooked noses and bleeding hands… In terms of security, we don\'t walk alone, but only with a few people together… A few of us prepared a sign reading WCAR: World Conference Advocating [instead of Against] Racism.\"
