ACCUSING ZIONISM AS BEING RACIST AND URGING THAT THE
UNITED NATIONS RESCIND THIS RESOLUTION.
WHEREAS, on November 10, 1975, a day that shall live in infamy, the
United Nations, by Resolution, falsely accused Zionism as being racist; and
WHEREAS, such baseless, cowardly, and hypocritical action violates
all principles of human decency; and
WHEREAS, six million Jews were brutally exterminated while the world
stood by cynical, impotent and calloused; and
WHEREAS, Zionism is the political movement of the Jewish people to
return to their homeland, Israel; and
WHEREAS, many nations who voted for this Resolution have engaged in
genocide and the imprisonment of political prisoners by the thousands
and millions; and
WHEREAS, such Resolution is a mask for anti-Semitism, a scourge that
is in its essence anti-Christian and anti-human; and
WHEREAS, the Jewish people have been in the forefront of the fight
for human freedom and dignity, both in the United Nations and throughout
the world; and
WHEREAS, the State of Israel is one of the few remaining democracies
on the face of this earth that is truly democratic and protective of all
its people's religious, racial and human rights.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Cypress hereby condemns this pernicious Resolution of the United Nations
falsely accusing Zionism as being racist and urges that the United Nations
rescind this Resolution and directs that this Resolution be forwarded
to the United Nations and to the State Department.
