Should U.S. participate in U.N. conference on racism?

The Obama administration has decided, according to The Associated Press, to participate in planning for the World Conference Against Racism despite concerns the meeting will be used as a platform by Arab nations and others to criticize Israel.

The U.S. will decide later whether to participate in the conference, set for Geneva, Switzerland in April.

Some nations, including Israel, plan to boycott the meeting. In 2001, the U.S. and Israel walked out of the first U.N. conference on racism in South Africa over efforts to pass a resolution comparing Zionism — the movement to establish and maintain a Jewish state — to racism, according to the AP report. The resolution is expected to be brought up again this year.

Canada, which plans to skip the event, says the meeting will promote racism, not combat it.

AP quoted a State Department release saying the administration wants to “work to try to change the direction in which the review conference is heading. We hope to work with other countries that want the Conference to responsibly and productively address racism around the world.”

Should the U.S. attend the conference?

I qualify my “yes” vote by stating that in going to the
conference, the U.S. would be taking the first tiny step
in severing the “special relationship” between the
United States and it’s masters in the kremmliknesset.

If zionism isn’t akin to bigotry and xenophobia (and that’s
the usual misapprehension regarding the meaning of the word
racism) then I’ll eat produce from “israel”. As it is, I’d
starve first.

And if you don’t believe me, go to Palestine and find some
little kid who’s mother was recently murdered by zionists
because every one dead jew must be avenged by ten or more dead
jewrabs–no matter whether they’re innocents or not. It doesn’t
matter to the zionists.

Maybe if we had a sane rational leader we could attend the
conference on racism and since we have so many racists
here we would be uniquely situated to educate the rest of the
world on what the meaning of the term racism is.

Of course someone would have to rise up out of the fog of
culture-war here and admit what racism really is.

Of course the chances of the truth coming out during attendance
at that event are slim to none, but still one must try.

Long story short; if the xenophobe terrorist kibbutzunist state
which literally taught-by-example the current crop of middle-
eastern terrorists that the west rewards terrorism
think this racism conference is a bad idea, then it
must be a good idea.

It’s about time someone turned over the white rock with
the blue six-pointed star painted on it so everyone
could see the slimy disgusting crawly things that really
live there.

Good morning St. Louis and all points east west north south.
It’s a fine day to talk about race.
I made a few post earlier, but now I’m wide awake and willing to read any and all, except one poster.
I’m hoping for a skin peel for that person so they can see what white people have to endure daily dealing with the less then (criminals) crowd of our society.
I was thinking about the question from above, should we go to the UN thingy?

Nope!
Not unless those countries take all of our miscreants, you know who you are!
I was wondering if some of those countries still have the cruel punishments for stealing. I’m all for eliminating the death penalty, but I want to hack off the fingers of thieves, cut off the Male members of Rapist, and if you steal vie a posies scheme, we as a society should be able to put you on an island with your entire family with nothing but what grows on that island. Or if you use your church and you’re a 501 3 (c) to promote any racial or political agenda you should be sent to that Island with the family that stole using the above mention scam.

I say let’s go, and explain to people that Jews are not a race, but a religion. And that the Muslim Palestinians are their cousins, with whom they cannot learn to get along.

At this point, I’m for kicking everyone out of the Biblical and Quranic Holy Lands, and declaring the whole thing a UN administered district, overseen by a council of 9 people: 3 Jews, 3 Muslims and 3 Christians. They can sublease day to day operations to Disney, or some other tourism-experienced corporation, (one of the big US Bible theme park operators?) who would maintain the property, operate hotels, infrastructure and things like donkey rides, and street stalls selling Bibles, Qurans, and Talmudic literature side by side for tourists. Order would be kept by UN peacekeepers, with no country to furnish over 10% of the troops. Profits would go to maintain the ancient landscape and structures. Places of worship would be allowed, with mosques, churches and temples financially overseen by atheists, secular humanists and agnostics. (The correct clergy could lead services, but the financial oversight would be by non-theists.)

Jerusalem proper would be open from sunrise to sunset, daily. After hours, persons not UN peacekeepers could be shot on sight. You could buy a set of turtledoves, or a lamb to sacrifice on the altar, regardless of ethnicity, sex, language, or country of origin.

Quite frankly, I’m tired of so-called Zionists thinking the world owes them Judea and Palestine. I’m tired of actual Palestinians having to constantly fight for their homelands against wealthy “diaspora Jews” from all around the world. I’m tired of Christians making the Holy Land an object for profit, whether in antiquities, pieces of the “true Cross” or the hospitality industry.

But, I’m sorry. Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity, and Zionism a land grab, not a holy quest. (BTW, I’m not Muslim.) The US should feel perfectly OK with going to the UN conflab. They don’t have to agree or disagree with any resolution.

Most definitely.

I believe a very serious discussion needs to take place on the shocking racial disparities that exist between black on white and white on black crime. Looking at these disparities, it is very obvious that much racism and hate is targeted toward European Americans. We need solutions not more excuses.

My dear Teresa,

I used to share some of the very ideas you’ve
expressed, especially the one about Palestine being
made into some sort of international/universal
holy land.

But you must remember that it was a U.N.-overseen
mandate once before and what happened.

There’s a reason the ashkezionazihm MUST have
Palestine as a “homeland” and under their control
and it’s nothing whatever to do with sentimental
family get-togethers at the celebrations of various
events portrayed as anti-jew atrocities (to gain
sympathetic magical advantage over other groups)
with a bunch of them sitting around a table with
a devil’s pitfork shaped candlestick mumbling
drunkenly to each other “next year in jerusalem!”.

There are artifacts there–artifacts which will eventually remove all doubt as to the hows and whys of the judaism 2nd-class they created to harness the talents and skills of certain target gentile groups to the yid yoke. For the wherefores and whys to come out before “all is done” (you bible scholars will recognize that phrase?) could be disasterous–for their plans.

That area is literally a library written in stone and ancient buried documents and bones.

In fact, it’s not only Palestine. This fact is not lost on the rest of the jewrabs who have been forced to be their reluctant neighbors. They know that the same basic pretext the world accepts for their theft of Palestine can be applied to one and all the other middle-eastern ancient haunts and hostings of The Tribe.

Why do you think they were so adamant about us “getting Saddam”? They’ve got nukes and the world has known it since Vanunu outed it. That’s probably one of the big reasons for their mossassination of JFK–he was making “serious” noises about nuclear non-proliferation agreements.

Pakistan, full of rabid anti-zionazi fundamentalists, has had The Bomb for a long time. They weren’t demanding of every President since (at least) James Earl Carter that we “get Pakistan”…

Tyranny and the implicit threat of being capable of organizing a pan-arab resistance on the plan of a european-style fascism were the least of their worries with him.

Surely you’ve heard that Saddam was real big on digging up and trying to reinstitute ancient Babylon.

There were probably a lot of embarrassing little archaeological skeletons in the Babylonian closet for the official jew narrative of theirstory.

They have a lot of loose ends they need tied up.

Do a little skulking around libraries or the internet on the life and times of one Vendel Jones.

As to the fact of judaism being “a religion”–to an extent. In the first place, ideas like religion, culture and to some extent race are conveniences man creates to use a a lexicon while trying to model the part of reality dealing with human behavior on the collective scale. The lines certainly blur with the jews.

It’s a religion, true, but how many of the world’s major still-extant religions do you know of where they still keep track of things such as that certain surnames indicate a bloodline tracing back to the clan of priests?

Those are the Cohenim.

How many religions can you name where there’s any talk of whether your membership in it is matrilineal or patrilinaal?

When we’re talking about what your bloodline means as regards what your ancestors part was in the “religion” or whether you’re even in the religion, there’s something more to it–tribalism or a race.

The jews are happy enough to admit to heritable diseases like Tey-Sachs and their congenital form of spongioform encephalopathy. Negroes have a similar situaton when an individual inherits two doses of their gene for resistance to malaria, “sickle cell” anemia. Nobody bridles when they’re called a race–well, very few anyway.

And I think you understand by now via some of the terms I use or misuse intentionally that I understand the hebes have picked up a few hangers-on and even they refer to “lost tribes” too. In fact, there’s one of their chaos agents going around trying to declare huge blocks of muslim jewrabs as actually being said lost tribes–no doubt as an attempt to sow the seeds of discontent in some mal-treated tribal minorities and destroy the unified arab anti-jewsreal front…

No, Teresa, they have enough qualifications for “race” to have zionazism be compared successfully to racism. The argument doesn’t depend upon semantics anyway, they damn sure don’t like jewrabs and jewrabs are, as you quite rightly stated, second-cousins to the sephardic jews, so maybe those wishing to pull the wool from in front of the eyes of the mesmerized gentile thralls or noachides regarding the issue of their blind support of these monsters should have started out with the precept that zionism is akin to “anti-semitism” and deactivated that cudgel the jews beat all their righteous critics senseless with.

And that’s another bolster to my argument! They themselves created the term “anti-semitism” and disingenuously used it to exclusively refer to criticism or resistance to the relentless pursuance of the international zionist conspiracy to gain global dominion.

They use a term for attacks on them which implies race–semites are a race or sub-race.

Besides that, if you really are tired of them utilizing their neverending claims on the wealth of other groups based on victimization myths and distortions, don’t pass by any tool towards obtaining that end–they never do.

NEVER. They must have passed-by some dirty trick to do to some other group one time, seen the error of their ways and thus was born their favorite catch-phrase “never again!”.

Please consider what I’ve said and at least entertain the thought of changing your position on that.

And I’ll guarantee you that making the entire middle-east into some sort of big holy-land theme park under international control would soon wind up with the jews running it–or pulling the strings on the hands of those officially running it–again.

Their control of that real-estate is essential to them and the way they control outside groups.

Yes I believe that the U.S. should be there even if only to be the only voice of reason there. And hopefully and I pray that our voice will be one of reason and that there will also be others among us there.

How ridiculous I think it is for us to even consider not being there. I think if the U.S. will genuinely follow what is right and good in the spirit of good conscience, then to hell with what Arab Nations or Israel think about it.

Above I do realize that not ALL of the people of Israel nor ALL the people of Arab Nations feel the exact same concerning these the political movement concerning Zionist/Arab issues.

I feel bad for you Ron. You ask a serious question, and you get a list of rhetoric right out of the propoganda handouts by various fringe groups on all sides of the racial issue.

Yes, we should attend that conference. That doesn’t mean we have to agree with anything that comes out of it, or let it shape any policy we may have, but at least we make the effort to be a part of the discussion.

Yes.
It is better to show up then, if necessary, “make a statement” by withdrawing support and making the withdrawal as public as possible. Ideally, we would be able to influence the agenda. President Obama’s election make it that more difficult for other participates to accuse the US of being “racist”.

What is interesting about this conference, is that often-times the countries denouncing “racism” are unusually racially “pure”. The USA is a truly uniques “experiment in progress”, few other countries are as diverse as we.
