I've Been Thinking:

The White House has announced that they will boycott the United Nations Racism Conference scheduled for September. This conference smacks too much of the 2001 Durban Conference.

The Durban Conference was a hatefest. Its purpose was to slam Israel in the international arena. Practically no attention was paid to any of the real human rights challenges.

Ever since 2001 the United States has not participated in any of these conferences. They have made no secret about why they are not participatory. These conferences against racism and for human rights go to great lengths to point the finger at Israel - almost to the exclusion of any other violations in the world.

Since the United States walked out on Durban, the West has said enough. Now Western countries want to see the agendas and the resolutions as well as the speeches before the conference.
Conference coordinators have not yet acquiesced to that request.
