Taking the fight against antisemitism to the United Nations

Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon published an editorial in the New York Post on September 6, 2016. It included the following:

"...[T]he United Nations is an institution full of contradictions. The organization's founding charter in 1945 stated it would hope to 'achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion.'

Yet all too often, the UN has been manipulated by dictators and despots who place little importance on these values...

The institution hasn't been immune to anti-Semitism. All too often Israel has been singled out, boycotted and treated differently for no reason other than it is the world's only Jewish state. Israel has been accused of being modern-day Nazis by some at the UN, and at its depth of hypocrisy, the world's nations passed a resolution in the General Assembly in 1975 equating the national movement of the Jewish people, Zionism, with racism...

[W]e must not lose hope that when people of good faith come together with the true intention of making the world a better place, real progress can indeed be made toward the loftiest of goals."
