curmugeon | U. N. Conference on Racism... (Reply)

It seems that the Israel lobby hit a home run. There was a conference but we (the United States) decided not to attend. It seems that if racism does not exist in Israel or the United States we should be able to defend ourselves easily, but we decoded to boycott. Maybe we should be looking at our history and the history of the Middle East in the post-WWII era, when Palestine disappeared from the map and segregation was the norm in the Southern United States. We may have come some distance in the United States in reversing the racism that was rampant in the South, but in Israel, apartheid still exists with Arabs living in Israel not being allowed to become citizens, and Arabs displaced during the wars that created the present day Israel not having the right of return.

Did we boycott because we couldn't face the truth?
