Today’s resurgent anti-Semitism often is the old wine of Jew-hatred
in new bottles of anti-Zionism. The defamation of the Jewish state,
certified by the Soviet-inspired, Arab League promoted 1975 U.N.
General Assembly resolution equating Zionism with racism, provided a
powerful pretext for renewed defamation of the Jewish people.
At the United Nations, countries ought to rally to Israel’s side as
a democratic, peace-loving, modern state. But for short-sighted
“reasons of state,” and sometimes simply due to ignorance or inertia,
they habitually join what we call the anti-Israel caucus.
Our November 21 event is meant to update members of Congress and
staffers about anti-Israel, ultimately anti-Jewish, U.N. votes and to
enlist their help in changing the pattern. We very much hope you will
be able to join us.
