UN General Assembly Votes to Commemorate Anti-Israel Durban Conference

(Jerusalem Post) Jordana Horn - The U.S. and Israel expressed dismay on Wednesday at a vote by the UN General Assembly Tuesday to commemorate the Durban anti-racism conference of 2001 next year. The motion passed 121 to 19, with 35 countries abstaining. Israeli officials voiced concern that next year's conference would become a forum for anti-Israel bashing, just as the original one had.
