Britain isolated amid UN racism summit boycott

The US, Israel, Italy, Germany, Canada, Australia, and Holland are boycotting the UN anti-racism event, which will be opened on Monday with a speech by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s President.

The address by Ahmadinejad, who has previously described the Holocaust as a myth and called for Israel to be “wiped off the map”, will coincide with the 120th anniversary of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s birth.

Ahmadinejad’s goal is to create the Holocaust that he said was a myth.
