Obama Administration to Boycott UN Racism Conference

Obama Administration to Boycott UN Racism Conference


The Obama administration has announced that the United States will boycott the World Conference Against Racism in Geneva next month, unless its final document drops all references to Israel and reparations for slavery.

Israel and Canada have already announced plans to boycott the UN conference.

In 2001, Bush administration diplomats walked out of the conference in Durban, South Africa after delegates proposed a resolution likening Zionism to racism.

AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, praised President Obama’s decision. The group said, “The event, which has again proven to be a celebration of racism and vile anti-Semitic activity, is further evidence of the U.N.’s inability to demonstrate any semblance of fairness or objectivity on these issues when it comes to the Jewish State.”

E "fairness ak objectivity" pou Millyon moun ki viktim rasysm sou planèt la.

Poukisa enterè jwif vinn anvan?

Pouki pou rasis yo pa dwe peye reparasyon pou milyon esklav yo eksplwate, volo, vyole?

Se pou yo kenbe ke yo akimile sou do esklav yo?

Franse pa fèt pou fè reparasyon pou Ayiti?
