Remember the UN Conference in Durban, South Africa, in September of 2001? The conference turned into such a malicious attack on Israel that then-Secretary of State Colin Powell ordered the U.S. delegation to walk out.<\/p>\n
Well, according to Pajamas Media<\/a>, we are headed for round two. This UN gathering is planned for April 20-24 in Geneva. According to the article:<\/p>\n “Since 2007, the UN has been preparing for Durban II. Operating under the umbrella of the UN’s Human Rights Council (a deeply compromised body that spends most of its time condemning Israel), the 20-member preparatory committee has been stacked from the start: It is chaired by Libya, and includes Iran (which hosted one of the preparatory meetings for Durban I), Cuba, Russia and (speaking on behalf of the Organization of the Islamic Conference) Pakistan.”<\/p>\n The Obama administration has said that this week the State Department is sending a delegation to “engage” in preparatory negotiations from Feb. 16-19 for Durban II. The State Department has released a statement saying that sending this delegation does not mean that we will participate in the conference–that decision will be made later depending on the results of the negotiating process this week.<\/p>\n It would be nice to see the Obama Administration stand up against the bigotry and hatred that was spewed out at the Durban Conference and refuse to attend this one. Any human rights commission chaired by Libya and including Cuba and Russia is not about anything this country should accept as human rights.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Remember the UN Conference in Durban, South Africa, in September of 2001?
