U.S. pulling out of ‘Durban II’ conference

[bijou]

WASHINGTON (JTA) -- The Obama administration has decided to boycott the so-called Durban II conference out of concerns for anti-Semitism.

Multiple sources on a conference call with the White House on Friday told JTA that the Obama administration had opted not to attend any further preparatory meetings ahead of the planned U.N. conference against racism in Geneva in April.

The conference reprises the 2001 conference in Durban, South Africa that devolved into an anti-Jewish free-for-all. Canada and Israel have opted not to attend the conference, and some U.S. Jewish groups had been pressing the United States to do the same.

So Obama's decided not to throw the Jews under the bus.

Well, if he can't throw them under the bus right now, I'm sure another oppertunity will come.  It just needs to be hidden, like maybe another earmark-non-earmark in some panic legislation that is up and coming.
