Out of Africa

Last time NGOs gathered in South Africa under UN auspices to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, things in Durban got so bad that it took the 9/11 attacks to push that conference out of the news. The NGOs were back for the UN African Meeting in Support of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (this time in Cape Town). While participants talked about taking action against Israel, we wonder if this recent report in Ethiopia’s Addis Tribune about Israeli agricultural assistance will have any impact on the NGOs.
