Boycott Durban II
[JTA] Gregg J. Rickman - The 2001 World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, otherwise known as the Durban Conference, was a parley hijacked by radicals to become an anti-Israel hate-fest. The April 2009 Durban II conference promises to top that fiasco, despite the Obama administration's decision to attempt to influence the process. We must do the only honorable deed and boycott Durban II, denying the world's terrorists and bigots the privilege of our legitimizing presence among them. The writer served as the first U.S. special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism from 2006 to 2009.
