A wise descition, I only wish my own and other country´s representatives could stay home from this anti-sionistic event.
32. FALSE ALARM USA STILL GOING PROBABLY
USA   (02.28.09)
The United States will not attend a UN conference on racism in Geneva unless the final document produced by the summit drops references to Israel and language on the defamation of religion, U.S. officials said Friday. One senior official, who requested anonymity, told the Associated Press that representatives from the Obama administration and the United Nations were in negotiations over the document last week.
33. Mossad Link Found to One of Key 9-11 Hijackers
observer   (02.28.09)
To friends and neighbors, he was an earnest supporter of the Palestinian cause, an affable, white-haired family man who worked as an administrator at a nearby school. Ali al-Jarrah, a 50 year old Lebanese Muslim Arab who has been taken into custody by the Lebanon—which has accused him of being a spy for some 25 years for Israeli intelligence—just happens to be a cousin of one of the Muslims alleged to have been one of the 9-11 hijackers. The older cousin may indeed have recruited his younger cousin, Ziad al-Jarrah, as an asset for Israeli intelligence. If the younger al-Jarrah was indeed an Israeli asset inside the 9-11 conspiracy, this would not be the first time that a Muslim Arab was involved, acting as a Mossad agent, in an attack on the World Trade Center.

did you read the article? quoting from it:"The US was hoping that the declarations made in Durban in 2001 would be stricken from the record and another document prepared, from which criticism against Israel and the period of slavery in the US would be absent. " the document in question holds a paragraph on the slavery era in the u.s., a paragraph which the u.s. wanted removed from the document... well guess what, paragraph is still there, no connection to israel...

Apparently what you've been "observing" is the inner reaches of your derriere, which is why you consistently post such idiotic comments.

well on the same coin, bin laden is the mastermind of the 9-11 attacks and well guess what, most of his family is connected to the us by business or living there. how many of his brothers are in tight business with alot of sources in the us, so tell me oh wise one, according to your saying the mossad is connected to the 9-11 due to the possibility one of the hijacker's uncle is a israeli spy, thus making the us government and citizens in direct connection due to their allowing one of his brothers american citizenship and doing business with the others. you must see the problem in your statement...
46. Xenophobia in South Africa
Observer ,   Worldwide   (02.28.09)
In May 2008 long standing state hostility to African migrants exploded in a series of pogroms that left up to 100 people dead and 100,000 displaced. Read also: - HIV/AIDS in South Africa - Crime in South Africa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa

This undeniable fact HARDLY denies you a voice. You're a poor propagandist, bro'. Watch Al-Jazeera and KKK-TV for some more anti-Jewish lessons.
51. #35 USA helped israel with war on terror long before 9/11
dumbarab imagination   (02.28.09)
alledged spy for israeli interests may not be the uncle of the terrorist, and it doesn't matter as he could just the same have met other people working for mossad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziad_Jarrah what matters is the allegation mossads interest was to get a terror attack in usa. what for? israel's fight on terror was supported by USA, LONG before USA started to invest money in its own battles on terror. and anyway, being a moslem & being pro-american seemed mutually exclussive even before 9/11, as quran commands destruction of all that is not moslem, and is anti democracy and anti capitalism.
52. Durban 2
Stefan ,   Troy, MI U. S. of A.   (02.28.09)
Because of ignorant people like Alan I vent my anger, people who elate arabs as the best things there are. It is ok that stil in the 20-th century decapitate, stone or cut limbs of or worse hide behind wemen and children who they send in as suicide bombers seling their kids for money for them to die, and worst of all they live in the stone ages with their beliefs. And yes there is only one democray in the Middle East and thats Israel. And all the arabs are pist that Israel is not willing to commit suicide to please them.
53. #51 and Israel helped USA with war on terror long be
observer   (02.28.09)
It was a complex pipeline, since a large portion of the mujahideen’s weapons were American-made and were supplied to the Muslim Brotherhood directly from Israel, using as carriers the Bedouin nomads who roamed the demilitarized zones in the Sinai.
54. HEY 26- UN beacome your enemy because you kept breaking LAW

Do not follow the wind, just follow the g*d's statement. "thy shall bless who help israel". Just watch what will be benefitted only when you support israel.
