Well tell me, do you think the Zionists have lost control over the Monster they had big hand in creating? This tiny little state of Israel finally admits this UN Monster has grown to such a degree that people are finally beginning to take them seriously? What, Israelis are Racist? Why it was the Zionists who turned loose the NAACP in America, a like Don Quioxte the UN responded to their every wish. Now I am waiting for ADL to start screaming racism, homophobia, and all those names they toss at Israelis now? What we in - a name calling contest - hey Joshua2 could win that one easy....... Me, I hope the US has the guts the Israelis have for such a little David to take on big Goliath UN - seems like unfair fight. Go get them Israel for once, I am in your corner - and I imagine you would have the Sinn Fein and IRA fighting along beside you if need be..... Now who all is on war criminal list now - Henry Kissinger is wanted, Bill Clinton, Madeline Albright, Milo - hey, what about all those Rhodes people loating around - take good look at South Africa for that Mugabee is no slouch either but then he is murdering white Chrisian Farmers and it is open season on Christians ???? Saba Boycott UN - no, just say hell no we won't go for this bunch has no authority in USA or great State of Israel - and it is run by Zulu Nations? Israel may boycott U.N. meeting� 'Anti-Israel' language cited in resolutions on racism� A billboard advertising the World Conference Against Racism is situated on the freeway from the airport into the city of Durban, Monday � JERUSALEM, Aug 27� �Israel said on Monday it would not send a delegation to a United Nations conference on racism unless language singling out the Jewish state for racism and other ills was removed from its resolutions. "At this stage we cannot go to Durban. That is our inclination," Israel's deputy foreign minister, Michael Melchior, told foreign reporters, referring to the World Conference Against Racism due to open in South Africa on August 31. � � �� � � � � Advertisement � � � �THE UNITED STATES has backed Israel in demanding anti-Israel language be toned down and threatened to boycott the conference if the Jewish state is singled out. � � � �Middle East politics have threatened to derail the gathering of thousands of official delegates and activists from more than 160 countries devoted to worldwide problems of racial discrimination, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance. � � � �In the thick of an 11-month-old Palestinian uprising against decades of Israeli occupation, Arab states and their supporters have called for language in the conference's draft resolution which equates "Zionist practices" with racism and describes Israeli policies against the Palestinians as racist. � � � �Melchior noted that the draft resolution � a consensus-based document debated earlier this year in Geneva �makes mention of no other country except Israel, regardless of human rights and other violations elsewhere. Leading the Durban agenda are issues such as violence against women, human trafficking and the rights of migrant workers, indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities. � � � �"It is a legitimate thing to criticise the state of Israel, the government of Israel," he said. "It is not legitimate...when the world society takes one country and singles this one country out. Durban is an attempt to upgrade hatred against the Jews." � � � �Melchior said officials from Europe, Africa and India have expressed dismay over what he called an attempt to "kidnap" the conference. � � � �As it is, the conference would render the global fight against the many-faceted subject of racism "a farce," he said. � � � �Israeli policies in the West Bank and Gaza Strip could rightfully be criticised and discussed in a conference on the Middle East conflict or similar forums, Melchior added. � � � �The U.N. General Assembly equated Zionism � the modern movement promoting the return of Jews to the biblical land of Israel � with racism in resolutions adopted annually from 1975 to 1991. They were dropped after the landmark 1991 Madrid Middle East peace conference. � � � �� 2001 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.
