StandWithUs has been very active in combating the UN's Durban II Racism Conference in Geneva. StandWithUs sent a delegation of staff members and students from all over Europe and Israel to monitor and protest the hateful messages toward Israel coming out of the UN. StandWithUs has been working side by side with WUJS (the World Union of Jewish Students) and EUJS (the European Union of Jewish Students), who have NGO status at the UN, to protest the hateful rhetoric on the ground.
StandWithUs created effective posters which were used directly outside the UN in Geneva during our rally. Coverage of the StandWithUs rally and protests were viewed around the world.
You can read more about StandWithUs at the UN in Geneva on the
StandWithUs website.
StandWithUs has also been actively "Tweeting" from the Geneva conference. You can view their updates and join the conversation at
