UN Marks 15 Years Since Repeal of "Zionism Equals Racism"
[Jerusalem Post] Michal Lando - The UN will mark the 15th anniversary of the repeal of the General Assembly Resolution that equated Zionism with racism on Thursday. A panel discussion held by the UN's Department of Public Information will be the first ever commemoration of the repeal at the world body. "At a time when we see the odious canard of 'Zionism equals racism' reasserted, I felt it would be an ideal opportunity to remind the world that this notion was rejected by the international community," said Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
