The United States has decided to boycott an upcoming UN conference on racism unless its final document is changed to drop all references to Israel.
The Conference Against Racism, to be held in Geneva in April, is a follow-up to the conference held in the South African town of Durban in 2001.
On Friday, a US delegation taking part in the preparatory talks in Geneva, said the draft resolution was unacceptable.

I do not believe that USA really did this.
As it supported it most of time.
Business as usual. Anyone who read the Obama campaign’s platform on Israel won’t be surprised.
With the US’ history on race (present events notwithstanding), I question their attending a race conference with much credibility, anyway.
At least they can’t veto this one.
Sadly I’m not surprised.
