"Italy pulls out of racism conference" by Associated Press | March 6, 2009
ROME - Italy said yesterday it is pulling out of a UN conference on racism - the latest blow to a meeting seen by many Western governments as marred by Muslim attempts to attack Israel and shield Islam from criticism.
With WORDS! As opposed to the BOMBS, GUNS, MISSILES, TANKS, and WMD that ISRAEL PHYSICALLY USES!!!!! Gotta love that WESTERN DOUBLE-STANDARD when it comes to that little stain!
Foreign Minister Franco Frattini also decided to postpone a planned trip to Iran in protest over remarks against Israel and the US administration by Tehran's leadership, the ministry said in a statement.
Ooooh, lucky Iran! I wouldn't want him coming!
Speaking on the sidelines of a NATO summit in Brussels, Frattini said Italy has withdrawn its delegation from the preparatory negotiations ahead of the so-called Durban II conference due to "aggressive and anti-Semitic statements" in the draft of the event's final document....
What, it was an anti-Palestinian platform? They are Semites, too, you know.
He said Rome would not participate in the conference unless the document was changed. "There are expressions of anti-Semitism," Massari said by telephone. "Until the document is modified we will not have a part in it."
Why are only Jews Semites in my Zionist-controlled, criminal cover-up mafia media.... oh, never mind.
The United States has imposed similar conditions. Israel and Canada have already announced a boycott. Italy is the first EU country to officially withdraw from the conference, though other nations have threatened not to attend.
Sounds like more of a promise to me.
