More Countries Join US, Israel Boycott of UN Racism Conference

A growing number of Western countries are joining the United States and Israel in boycotting the United Nations World Conference on Racism, which opened today in Geneva, Switzerland. Australia, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and New Zealand all announced they would boycott the conference soon after the US announced its formal decision not to attend Saturday. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the opening session he was profoundly disappointed at the boycotts. We go to Geneva to get the latest.

must the whole cause of fighting racism be sacrificed for the sake of Israel's displeasure and anxieties?

Any objective observer who looks at Israel with open eyes will see policies of discrimination, racism and subjugation of the arabs/ palestinians

People are so blind! Israel is a nation built on racism. An entire state for only Jews and nobody else can live in it even though Christians and Muslims have lived on the land for 1400 years. If the massacre in Gaza wasn't an indicator of Israel's cruelty to human life than I don't know what is. Educate yourselves sheeple!!!!

Mooslims are the real racist. I applaud those nations who boycotted that racist UN conference. Good for you. Its nothing but a bunch of commies, antisemites & real racist.

@ragingtorpedos "We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us"

Yes, it's always funny to see the bizarre statements of a bigot pretending to give a shit.

This is the same country that burned down the First Baptist Church in Jerusalem, is still building illegal settlements on stolen land and used the "separation wall" to increase their land holdings and borders.

The best thing an Israeli leader does, is to lie through their teeth.

Isn't racism the same as antisemitism? I do not understand why Israel decided not to attend.

Iran is fairly democratic, despite its theocratic constitution, and it also has an active scientific community.

The west has a bad history and racism. Its not surprising they are backing a country based on religious subjugation and stealing land. Just look at Canada, US, Australia, Newzealand, Germany, Israel, etc.. These are countries made up by stealing land or tried to steal land. Its not long before the west comes to terms of its sickening history.

Screw the subhuman bastards (aka Zionists). Fuck the Zionist Filth!

The Western countries have been under the total domination, slavery (yoke) of  zionist jews for quite a while.

Ironic:

"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been, and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, a nation of cowards." -Attorney General Eric Holder.
