Worried Israel lobbies against anti-racism forum

Former Israeli UN ambassador Dan Gillerman asks Australia not to send a delegation to a UN conference on racism known as "Durban II".

"Keep away from Durban," Dan Gillerman told Australian daily The Age on Monday, adding that the forum would be used as a platform to bash Israel.

The United Nations is scheduled to hold the 2009 World Conference Against Racism in Geneva in April.

Israel's ambassador to the UN from 2003 until September last year also said the conference was a "charade".

"Countries like Australia who, to my mind, represents the best of what democracy and civilization can be, shouldn't take part in this charade," Gillerman said.

In November, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni announced that Israel would boycott the conference because "it was turning once again into an anti-Israeli tribunal".

Last month, Canada announced that it was also boycotting the conference. France, Britain and the Netherlands may also pull out, while the United States is sending diplomats next week to participate in preparatory meetings for the forum.

Israel also has been pressing the Obama administration to stay away from the meeting, according to US officials.

However, the State Department said in a statement Saturday, "the intent of our participation is to work to try to change the direction in which the review conference is heading."

During the Bush administration the US and Israel walked out of the first UN conference on racism in Durban, South Africa in 2001 over efforts to pass a resolution comparing Zionism to racism.

Those efforts failed but there are signs the resolution may be reintroduced at the "Durban II" meeting in Geneva.

After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan

Of course they will try and destroy the character of anyone that shows up as long as the criminal state can!
