Obama Has American Delegation Participating In Anti-Israeli Hate-Fest: Imagine That

Obama The One, who during his campaign said that Israel had no better friend than him announced on valentines day that he is sending an American delegation to the UN sponsored Durban II conference. The purpose behind the Durban II conference is seeing how the declaration agreed on at the first Durban conference is being implemented. RealCearPolitics.com has a little taste of the Jew Hating that was Durban I:

At Durban, both the UN-sponsored NGO conclave and the UN's governmental conference passed declarations denouncing Israel as a racist state. The NGO conference called for a coordinated international campaign aimed at delegitimizing Israel and the right of the Jewish people to self-determination, and belittling the Holocaust.

The NGO conference also called for curbs on freedom of expression throughout the world in order to prevent critical discussion of Islam. As far as the world's leading NGOs - including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch - were concerned, critical discussions of Islam are inherently racist.

Spokesman for the State Department Gordon Duguid said that "If your not engaged you don't have a voice." He wants America's position to be out there on the table and hopefully influence the outcome of Durban II. Like most liberal ideas this one too is doomed to failure. Again from RealCearPolitics.com:

First, since the stated purpose of the Durban II conference is to oversee the implementation of the first Durban conference's decisions, and since those decisions include the anti-Israel assertion that Israel is a racist state, it is clear that the Durban II conference is inherently, and necessarily, anti-Israel.

The second reason that both the State Department and the White House must realize that they are powerless to affect the conference's agenda is because that agenda was already set in previous planning sessions chaired by the likes of Libya, Cuba, Iran and Pakistan. And that agenda includes multiple assertions of the basic illegitimacy of the Jewish people's right to self-determination. The conference agenda also largely adopted the language of the 2001 NGO conference that called for the criminalization of critical discussion of Islam as a form of hate speech and racism. That is, the 2009 conference's agenda is not only openly anti-Israel, it is also openly pro-tyranny, and so seemingly antithetical to US interests.

Beyond all that, assuming that the Obama administration truly wishes to change the agenda, the fact is that the US is powerless to do so. As was the case in 2001, so too, today, the Islamic bloc, supported by the Third World bloc, has an automatic voting majority. Beyond chipping away at the margins, the US has no ability whatsoever to change the conference's agenda or expected outcome.

The Obamessiah has spent his first month in office pretty much scaring the hell out of Israel. Every single decision Obama has made regarding Mid-East policy has been damaging to Israel's national security interests. With friends like The One who needs enemies?
