Jewish groups praise Western states boycotting Dur

Jewish communities around the world on Sunday praised the Western nations who have decided to boycott an upcoming United Nations anti-racism conference, seen by many as a forum for criticizing Israel.

The AIPAC lobby on Sunday applauded the Obama administration's decision not to take part in the April 20-25 conference in Geneva, saying it was "the right thing to do" and showed America's uncompromising commitment to fight intolerance and racism.
