Critics, including Israeli and US missions, say an upcoming United Nations commemoration marking the 25th anniversary of the 2001 Durban anti-racism conference whitewashes the original event's history of antisemitism and expressions of support for Hitler. The reaffirmation of the commemoration later this month has prompted pushback from officials who argue the UN is failing to reckon with the conference's legacy. The controversy reflects longstanding tensions between Israel, the US, and the UN over the Durban process, which Israel and Western allies have historically boycotted or criticized as a platform for anti-Israel and antisemitic rhetoric.
