Fighting Anti-Semitism – Reversing Anti-Israel Voting at the UN

Please join the Jewish Policy Center for an important briefing.

Today’s resurgent antisemitism 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, a number of 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 might 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.

Mr. Elan Carr, Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism, U.S. Department of State
