Summary:

Ch. 13 (pp. 281-327), "Defamation as Diplomacy: Anti-Semitism at the UN, " traces the developments leading to the 1975 resolution equating Zionism with racism, reactions to it, and its effects. States that anti-Zionism is inseparable from antisemitism, and that the PLO has frequently expressed antisemitic statements. Argues that the UN was both a forum and an instigator of antisemitic motions, based on Soviet or Islamic fundamentalist propaganda. Describes discriminatory trends against Jews occupying UN administrative posts. Jewish non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have also been attacked. Points out that antisemitism has never been condemned officially by the UN. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism).
