U.S. reconsiders boycott of Durban II anti-racism summit  /  By Haaretz Service and The Associated Press  /  Last update - 18:37 14/04/2009  /   http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1078272.html    / Tags: Iran, Israel News, Durban II   /  

The Obama administration is reconsidering its planned boycott of a controversial United Nations racism conference that is deeply opposed by Israel and Jewish groups and will be attended by Iran's president, the State Department said late Monday.  /  In a move likely to upset its staunchest Mideast ally and its supporters, the department said the administration was pleased by a diplomatic push to revise an objectionable document that the meeting will adopt and suggested it could attend the meeting if the efforts succeed.  /  In February, after attending preparatory meetings for the follow-up conference, the Obama administration said it would not attend Durban II unless the meeting's final document was changed to drop references to Israel, defamation of religion and demands for reparations for slavery.
