Durban II (22)
By
James Bredin
The UN conference about racial discrimination,
In Durban South Africa which is the locked-in location,
They talked xenophobia and related racist bias,
Screaming slogans that made them feel quite pompous and pious.
Israel and the US left the conference in disgust,
It was the opposite of what was claimed -- so much for UN trust,
Conference had been hijacked by anti-Semitic zealots,
Pretending they were anything but critics and bigots.
They’re going to have a repeat performance in 2009,
The UN bureaucracy seem to think that this is just fine,
Conference that degenerated into a festival of hate,
The UN wants to do it again and they want no debate.
