The UN never disappoints

The Durban II racism conference - expected to be an antisemitic and anti-American hatefest - will be held in Geneva on April 20-24, 2009, thus coinciding with the annual Holocaust Remembrance Day.

As Anne Bayefsky of EYE on the UN notes: "Jews all over the world will be remembering the 6 million murdered in the worst instance of racism and xenophobia in human history. At the same time, the United Nations will be discussing whether the Jewish state, created in the wake of the Holocaust and standing as a bulwark to ensure it is never repeated, should be demonized as the worst practitioner of racism and xenophobia among nations today."

Canada, the United States and Israel are expected to boycott the conference; the European Union likely will attend. The next time a European harangues you (if you're an American) about human rights, please ask him or her why the EU supports such an outrage.
