In 1975 the UN General Assembly passed a determination that "Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination."
The measure was an outgrowth of several previous statements at international meetings calling for the elimination of Zionism.
The Israeli ambassador immediately condemned the resolution: "For us, the Jewish people, this resolution based on hatred, falsehood and arrogance, is devoid of any moral or legal value."
In 1991, President George Bush told the General Assembly:
"...to equate Zionism with the intolerable sin of racism is to twist history and forget the terrible plight of Jews in World War II and indeed throughout history."
