Instead, the eight-day conference-which began today in the South African port city of Durban-is mired in controversy over Arab charges of Israeli racism against Palestinians and African demands for slavery reparations. Then there are the disputes over India’s caste system, China’s rule in Tibet and Europe’s treatment of Gypsy communities-all of which could promote intolerance instead of ameliorating it. One of the conference’s hottest issues: the decision that U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell skip the conference because of what the Bush administration considers offensive language about Israel in preparatory conference texts....

Van Gaal, who spent two seasons at the helm of the Old Trafford side, was not well received by Red Devils fans, who felt the style of football he was producing was not representative of how the club should play. The club’s hierarchy clearly felt the same way, with the Dutchman having been replaced by Jose Mourinho in 2016, a mere two days after the veteran boss had led United to their first FA Cup title in 12 years....
