UN General Assembly Resolution 4497: When the UN Declared that Zionism was Racist

Interesting to me, I came across some infor about UN General Assembly Resolution 4497,



Source: Wikipedia:

United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379, adopted on November 10, 1975 by a vote of 72 to 35 (with 32 abstentions), "determine[d] that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination". The resolution was revoked by Resolution 46/86 on December 16, 1991. In the history of the UN, this is the only resolution that has ever been revoked.

Now, this is interesting to me for a couple of reasons.

It is the only UN resolution EVER to be revoked

It officially condemned Zionism in very strong terms.

Consider the following from the text of the resolution:

Recalling its resolution 1904 (XVIII) of 20 November 1963, proclaiming the United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, and in particular its affirmation that "any doctrine of racial differentiation or superiority is scientifically false, morally condemnable, socially unjust and dangerous" and its expression of alarm at "the manifestations of racial discrimination still in evidence in some areas in the world, some of which are imposed by certain Governments by means of legislative, administrative or other measures",

Recalling also that, in its resolution 3151 G (XXVIII) of 14 December 1973, the General Assembly condemned, inter alia, the unholy alliance between South African racism and zionism...Taking note also of the Political Declaration and Strategy to Strengthen International Peace and Security and to Intensify Solidarity and Mutual Assistance among Non-Aligned Countries, adopted at the Conference of Ministers for Foreign Affairs of Non-Aligned Countries held at Lima from 25 to 30 August 1975, which most severely condemned zionism as a threat to world peace and security and called upon all countries to oppose this racist and imperialist ideology...Determines that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.

Obviously Israel didn't like this. In response, Israel noted the many Arabs involved in government in Israel, whereas one could point to no Jews in positions of power in Arab countries. The Israli UN ambassador also said the resolution was a "manifestation of the bitter anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish hatred which animates Arab society. Who would have believed that in this year, 1975, the malicious falsehoods of the 'Elders of Zion' would be distributed officially by Arab governments? Who would have believed that we would today contemplate an Arab society which teaches the vilest anti-Jewish hate in the kindergartens?... We are being attacked by a society which is motivated by the most extreme form of racism known in the world today."

Well, this is a strange one. Do you think it is fair to call Zionism racism? Why did the UN change its mind only once in history...on this issue? I think there is a lot to consider about this.

Of course Zionism is racism.

the original UN resolution was correct in regard to zionism.

a payoff here..a payoff there along with pressure behind the scene from america and israel.. presto resolution removed to suit israels agenda..
