(Jewish Group) UN General Assembly adopts measure condemning anti-Semitism, Islamophobia
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)The U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution on Tuesday condemning anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.
The resolution, which was adopted in a consensus vote, comes in the wake of the attack on two New Zealand mosques on March 15.
According to Israeli Mission to the United Nations, the original version of the resolution only referred to Islamophobia. But after efforts by Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon, with the support of many U.N. member states, a proposal was amended to include condemnation of anti-Semitism.
Danon said that “the memory of history seems to be fading with time, but our diplomatic efforts have shown that we will not allow the international community to remain silent while a wave of anti-Semitism spreads throughout the world.”
