Hope And Change...US Silent About Defending Israel (And The Truth) At UN "Human Rights" Scam Conference
Ace of Spades HQ —
... . Unfortunately, so is the US. The Obama administration decided to participate in the preparatory meetings supposedly to help improve the final product. Alas, when push is coming to shove, they are acquiescing to evil by not speaking in favor of language about the Holocaust (surprise! Iran objected) or against efforts to single out Israel as a racist state (this was offered by some country called "Palestine" which I've never heard of). As Anne Bayefsky writes at NRO What is more visible is that the U.S. has little to gain for itself or for global human rights from ...

... Rice and Power. They’re not pushing for involvement in the planning stages. They’re pushing for involvement in Durban II as such. They apparently have Obama’s ear since they’ve thus far achieved involvement in the planning. If the President bails out later that might be a limited defense of his actions. Maybe.

Obama's second act of open hostility against Israel

... requests for a US boycott is not a partisan agenda, but a clearheaded acknowledgement that the Durban II conference is inherently devoted to the delegitimization and destruction of the Jewish state. And by joining in the planning sessions, the US has become a full participant in legitimizing and so advancing this overtly anti-Jewish agenda. On Thursday, Prof. Anne Bayefsky, the senior editor of the EyeontheUN Web site, demonstrated that by participating in the planning sessions the US is accepting the conference's anti-Israel agenda. Bayefsky reported that at the planning ...

... the final declaration at Geneva, there is no way in which it can be anything less than obnoxious. If Libya and Iran have any sense, they will offer at the last minute some cosmetic changes to allow America to trumpet its great victory a victory that would merely sanitize and legitimize a declaration that would remain odious. Moreover, so far, the American delegation has singularly failed to draw the poison from this process. U.N. watcher and NRO contributor Anne Bayefsky has reported that when Iran and Syria blocked an attempt to include a provision that would condemn ...
