(Nov. 17, 2025 / JNS) Far too many pro-Israel organizations and writers marked the 50th anniversary of the U.N. General Assembly vote to adopt Resolution 3379, which stated that Zionism “is a form of racism and racial discrimination,” by showcasing the efforts that the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations when the resolution was passed, made to work against it.

While Moynihan was right in saying that “it is a lie which the United Nations has now declared to be a truth—and so the actual truth must be restated,” the United Nations still is an extremely anti-Israel institution.

Resolution 3379 was rescinded in 1991, but that’s not as important as recalling all of the times the international body was wrong for targeting Israel when Israel took action in self-defense. And that’s because the United Nations is a deeply flawed organization that continues to single out Israel for responding to terrorism and other threats it faces.
