Next month's UN conference against racism will correctly designate zionism as a form of racism. The US, Canada and Israel plan to be the only countries in the world that will be boycotting the conference as they find the truth to hard to stomach.
Shame on Obama - he should know better. The US seems determined to maintain its global unpopularity despite Obama's supposed superstar status and commitment to 'change'. I guess the ordinary people of the US are going to have to keep fighting hard to win back the ideal of 'government by the people for the people', or it may well perish from the earth.
From Haaretz
A draft of the closing statement prepared for the upcoming United Nations-sponsored conference against racism, dubbed Durban 2, states that Israel's policy in the Palestinian territories constitutes a "violation of international human rights, a crime against humanity and a contemporary form of apartheid."
The conference, to be held in Geneva next month, is a follow-up to the contentious 2001 conference in the South African city of Durban which was dominated by clashes over the Middle East and the legacy of slavery. The U.S. and Israel walked out midway through that eight-day meeting over a draft resolution that singled out Israel for criticism and likened Zionism - the movement to establish and maintain a Jewish state - to racism.
