Israel: Well done, Mr. Obama; U.S. to Boycott Durban III Racism Conference

Atlas Shrugs " I applaud the Obama administration's decision to boycott the racist, antisemitic Islamic conference sponsored by the UN."....
"...The U.S. has announced it won't attend the 10-year commemoration of the UN Durban conference on combating racism on Sep. 21 in New York. Acting Assistant Secretary of State Joseph Macmanus said that the U.S. voted against the UN resolution establishing the 2011 event because the so-called Durban process "included ugly displays of intolerance and anti-Semitism and we did not want to see that commemorated."....

 Conference of Presidents Lauds Administration Decision Not to Participate in "Durban III" Conference  "Senator [Kirsten] Gillibrand led a bipartisan effort urging the U.S. not to participate in the conference. She noted that it is “an insult to America that the United Nations has decided to hold the Durban III conference in New York City just days from the tenth anniversary of the September 11th attacks. We all witnessed how extreme anti-Semitic and anti-American voices took over Durban I and Durban II and we should expect the same thing to happen with Durban III.”
"“The global campaign of delegitimization against Israel was launched at Durban I. It has remained a lasting scar on the reputation of the UN and ought not to be commemorated or celebrated. "
It's always a pleasant surprise when Democrats exceed my expectations.
