Dis United Nations

From the Britannica World Review of 1975.

 "The escalation of Communist and third world "antiracist," "anti-imperialist" rhetoric reached a peak at the UN in October 1975, when the UN Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee passed (70 to 29, with 27 abstentions and 16 absent) an Arab resolution condemning Israel as the "racist regime in occupied Palestine," declaring that Zionism was "a form of racism and racial discrimination," and calling upon all nations to opposed Zionism as "a threat to world peace and security" and a racist and imperialist ideology."

" . . . In November the anti-Zionism resolution was adopted by the General Assembly."

The resolution was introduced by Pres. Idi Amin of Uganda.
