02/28/2009: "US to boycott UN racism conference"
The United States has decided to boycott an upcoming UN conference on racism unless its final document is changed to drop all references to Israel.
The Conference Against Racism, to be held in Geneva in April, is a follow-up to the conference held in the South African town of Durban in 2001.
On Friday, a US delegation taking part in the preparatory talks in Geneva, said the draft resolution was unacceptable.
[ To borrow a comment from a forum: "If you don't think Israel has the right to be racist you are an anti-semite." ]
