Umphre^ DURBAN. South Africa (AP) — Pro-Palestinian groups scored a victory Sunday when a human rights forum coinciding with the World Conference Against Racism equated Zionism with racism and called for international sanctions against Israel. But Jewish, Christian and international human rights groups rejected the forum’s final resolution, which was presented to U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson to be included in a final declara tion by the U.N. conference. Pro-Palestinian groups effectively lobbied a majority of groups attending the forum to equate Zionism — the movement that founded Israel as a homeland for the Jewish people — with racism. Israel’s occupation of Palestinian terri tories was also decried as colo nialism, a potent political label in much of the world. The forum ran para world racism confereni started Friday and run Friday.

The gathering "is an out burst of hate and of anti- Semitism.” Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said Sunday in Tel Aviv. “It appears like a camp that has neither understanding nor tolerance nor a message for the future."
