This resolution sparked intense debates and had far-reaching implications for international relations and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Join us in this episode of 'This Day in History' as we explore the events leading up to the UN resolution, its impact on global politics, and the ongoing discussions surrounding Zionism and racism.

Zionism is simply the idea that Israel should exist. This resolution was revoked in 1991.

For one the resolution is completely wrong. To say Israel is apartheid is completely baseless. Israel has a 1/5th arab population with Arabs in parliament and the Supreme Court and thousands of Mosques around the nation. Arab is an official language in Israel alongside Hebrew.

Contrast that with most Arab nations that are religious dictatorships and have no jews in any part of their government. Those nations are apartheid.
