It was 50 years ago today on the East Side of Manhattan when a cabal at the UN, led by despots like Idi Amin along with the Soviet bloc, pushed through an obscene resolution that in the ringing denunciation of U.S. Ambassador Pat Moynihan, “the abomination of antisemitism has been given the appearance of international sanction.”
The General Assembly adopted Resolution 3379 that “Determines that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.”
That is a lie that the UN passed on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Nazi pogrom that previewed the Holocaust. Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people in their historic home, Israel, for Jews of every color and every race and every language. The resolution passed by a vote of 72 to 35. When the Cold War ended, it was repealed in 1991 on a tally of 111 to 25.
This is a history lesson that Zohran Mamdani has to understand.
