On November 10, 1975, the United Nations General Assembly declared that Zionism “is a form of racism and racial discrimination.” This insidious ideological attack against Israel was repealed in 1991, but the attempt to delegitimize and dehumanize the nation has severely harmed the country. Israel is still viewed as a pariah state on college campuses around the world and among some members of the media and foreign governments. The long-term effects of the resolution will continue to resonate for years to come.
In this meticulously researched and well-written work, Alex Grobman, a historian who has debunked the lies of Holocaust deniers, exposes the countries and strategy behind this malicious campaign and examines the environment at the UN that fostered this assault. Through abrogated, the resolution continues to provide a vehicle for Member states to equate Israel with the Nazis. Through use of extensive sources, he systematically refutes the charges against the Jewish State that will remain a potent weapon in the hands of those who seek to destroy Israel and the West.
