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.

Israeli leaders criticized

it was filled with anti-Semitism.
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."
