U.S. will not attend U.N. conference on racism
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will not attend a United Nations conference on racism that critics say will be a forum to criticize Israel and will no longer attend planning sessions for it, a U.S. official said on Friday.
"We will not attend," the official said.
A U.S. delegation attended consultations earlier this month on the World Conference Against Racism, scheduled for April in Geneva, Switzerland, although Israel has called for a boycott and Canada has said it will not attend.
But the United States has decided it will not be able to improve the final document produced by the conference and will not attend, another official said.

Gee, I wonder why not? Could it be facing criticism that the U.S. support of Israel is support of racism against Arabs is too difficult? Could it be facing criticism that supporting Israel can be likened to supporting white South Afrikaaners against blacks before blacks took back their country?
