The following was forwarded to me by a Zgram reader with the words:
"It is obvious the Bush administration has failed to represent American people and US interests at the UN Conference in Durban.
(Bush) has failed in his obligation to this country by supporting Israel, walking out of the conference, and not defending and representing the USA. It's as impeachable as Clinton's activities, in my humble opinion."
Naturally and rightly so, the Israeli racism issue has overshadowed all the other interests at this conference. However, below is a glimpse of what the coddling of the Jewish interests and, specifically, the precedents of the Holocaust reparations have wrought.

Because the World Conference Against Racism (WCAR) has received no meaningful news coverage in the United States, I thought I would pass on some files I have prepared on the conference. This first file is a summary of the September 1 afternoon session, a session simply selected at random.
Although the news media pretends that the conference is all about the scapegoating of entirely innocent Jews by the all-powerful Palestinians, there is a lot of real hatred toward and immense demands for money being made against European peoples. While the US delegation and the media have relentlessly defended Israel and Zionism and the Jews and Jewish rights, the deadly racism of the attacks on European peoples have been met by no defenders at all.
The WCAR provided a summary of this session, which emphasized only the requirement for reparations to African countries for the slave trade, but it is a biased summary that tries to make it appear that there is complete worldwide support for reparations for slavery and no other significant issues, so I thought it would be handy to have a short summary of each speaker in the session
There were 29 national representatives, and 2 international organization representatives, who spoke at modest length, after a general summary. At about the midpoint in the statements there is a moment of "responses" that provide a particularly surreal interlude.
Press Release: Acknowledgment Of Past, Compensation Urged By Many Leaders In Continuing Debate At Racism Conference. Plenary: PM And Night. RD/D/24. Durban: World Conference Against Racism (WCAR) [UN Conference on Racism], September 1, 2001. (source: http://www.unhchr.ch/html/racism/)
In summary:
(1) Black countries want massive (maybe infinite) reparations from White countries (African countries demand reparations for Africa; Jamaica wants Jamaica included among the recipients of the reparations). Black suffering is unique in history, and unique in being uncompensated. (However, Angola seems to want reparations from South Africa; Congo wants war crimes trials against Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda.)
(2) Black countries with significant slave trades today blame White countries for that slave trade even as they fail to admit to engaging in the slave trade (e.g., Ivory Coast says commodities traders are the real slave traders today). Major African slaveholding countries claim to be really tolerant and multicultural (Ivory Coast, Sudan and Burkina Faso.)
(3) China thinks Whites are racist, and often neo-Nazis. Japan conceded some imperfections in its conduct of ethnic relations with Ainus and ethnic Koreans.
(4) White countries with a major role in the ancient slave trades (UK, Netherlands, EU) denounce their own citizens as racists and boast about being multicultural in order to be exempt from paying reparations. No one talks about the role of Jews in the slave trade.
(5) There are a lot of issues that don't have much to do with racism (e.g., Mexico defends handicapped rights). India is not too concerned by the caste system, but thinks other countries need to implement Affirmative Action.
(6) Countries that generate a lot of economic refugees (Mexico, Sudan) want the rights of their emigrants to be respected by their respective targets (USA, Europe).
(7) The Internet enables racism and should be censored (Malawi, European Commission, Netherlands); or maybe the Internet could promote understanding (Jamaica).
(8) Netherlands rejects any criticism of Israel, while Luxembourg is worried about the Jews being exterminated in the 1940s. (This latter seems to be a time-machine related issue.)
(9) There are some tepid expressions of support for the Palestinians, but only Syria and Saudi Arabia seem to be aware of any details of the problem.
(10) Whites (European peoples worldwide) are denounced by almost everyone in Africa (Angola, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Lesotho, Namibia, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Jamaica: all demanding money), including anti-White European regimes (European Commission, Luxembourg, Netherlands, UK), and China too, excepting only some countries with other issues (Cyprus--Turks, Eritrea--development, India--caste, Malawi--Internet, Saudi Arabia--Muslims, Syria--Zionism).
While Russia stands up for Russian rights, no European countries or European Diaspora country (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United States) supports the human rights of any European peoples anywhere, with as much as a single word. They are all to busy fighting for Jewish rights to do what they want to do in Palestine.
Statements: Enoch Kavindele, Vice President of Zambia. Racism is everywhere; tribalism remains a problem in Africa; Black slavery requires reparations since while "we agree that many other peoples and races have been victims of discrimination and intolerance, the cry on the continent is that while every one of those groups have been adequately redressed for wrongs committed in the past, Africans continue to suffer."

"Did Israel's spin doctors, Jewish leaders and Jewish media sources in the Diaspora deliberately create the bogey man of all the alleged "anti-semitism" at the conference to deflect the delegates away from massive Jewish involvement in the slave trade by bringing the African slaves to the New World in largely Jewish-owned fleets of slave ships?"
