I'm not happy with the bedfellow relationship that my government has with
Israel, so, no, I'm not suprised by the associations made between the U.S. and
Israel. However...absolutely hateful and unplacatable anti-Israel and anti-
Semitic rhetoric is far too common (and commonly accepted) by great portions of
the international political community. Whatever good intentions those at Durban
may have had, ammending anti-Semitism didn't seem to be one of them.
