     Fascinating that the USA is mentioned only once as joined with
     Israel against Durban11. The rest of the article focuses only on
     Israel. That is skewing informatioon so that it says what it is
     not. Real news. The full discussion of both deniers and the reasons
     they may be joined for intolerance, hate crimes, racial war.

   Since the statement comes from a Jewish organization, it's not strange
   that they focus their criticism on the so-called "Jewish State". I'd
   be more concerned if they tried to minimize Israel's role in
   perpetuating racism.

   OTOH, I can't understand why the Israeli state (or the U.S. or Canada
   or almost any other state) would be even allowed to attend a
   conference against racism! Such a conference, to be anything but a
   sham, should be a conference of representatives of groups around the
   world that suffer racial, ethnic, caste, national or religious
   discrimination and oppression, not of the governments that oppress
   them.

   P.S. It's nice to see some discussion on this discussion list.
