In 1975, Chaim Herzog famously ripped up the UN’s “Zionism is Racism” resolution—a moment that still resonates as the same hostility and corruption persist in the UN today.
In 1975, Chaim Herzog delivered one of the most iconic speeches in UN history in response to the outrageous "Zionism is Racism" allegation.
Herzog stood before the UN and tore up the resolution in question.
Incredible that today, we face the same bigotry and corruption in the UN.
"I stand here not as a supplicant. Vote as your moral conscience dictates to you. For the issue is neither Israel nor Zionism. The issue is the continued existence of this organization, which has been dragged to its lowest point of discredit by a coalition of despots and racists. The vote of each delegation will be recorded in history its country's stand on antisemitic racism and anti-Judaism. You yourselves bear the responsibility for your stand before history, for as such will you be viewed in history. We, the Jewish people, will not forget."
