Renowned Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg’s participation in a peace rally in Stockholm on Tuesday in defence of the freedom of Palestine during which her chants “crush Zionism” were highly applauded by the audience, is not a lone voice against Israel’s US-supported genocide in Gaza.

In fact, this is the growing demand of the international community appalled at the organized racist terrorism against humanity by the Zionists, who over the past 75 years are in occupation of Palestine, and just over the last six weeks have brutally murdered over 16,000 civilians (mostly children and women), including doctors, nurses, paramedics, journalists, mosque preachers, church priests, and laymen, by blatantly calling their victims “ignoble animals” to be decimated.

In view of these undeniable reality, Iran’s envoy at the UN HQ in New York has strongly denounced the illegal Zionist entity’s genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip, calling on the World Body to revive its 1975 Resolution that termed Zionism as a form of racism and racial discrimination.

Amir Saeid Iravani’s speech on Tuesday at the plenary meeting of the UN General Assembly on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip in defence of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, and the necessity to outlaw the racist/terrorist ideology called ‘Zionism’ was widely appreciated by most world countries and the media.

It should be noted that the UN General Assembly Resolution 3379, adopted on 10 November 1975 by a vote of 72 to 35 (with 32 abstentions), had determined that “Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.”

Unfortunately, it was revoked in 1991 under the pressure and threats of the US, which in its blind support of usurper Israel, not just provides massive funds and arms, but continues to exercise its controversial right of veto to kill every UN resolution calling for the Zionist entity to abide by international law.

Racism as defined by the lexicons is oppression of any group of people on the flimsy basis of skin colour, language, religion, sect, and ethnicity, accompanied by hate-speech, persecution, deprivation, expulsion, and massacres.

Zionism, which emerged in Eastern Europe amongst the non-Semitic and non-Israelite Khazar converts to Judaism, allied itself with Western Imperialism to covet British occupied Palestine as a land to be ethnically cleansed of its native Muslim and Christian population.

When Britain left Palestine in 1948 it handed power to the East European Zionists whom it had illegally settled since 1917. Usurper Israel through gruesome massacres immediately drove out almost a million indigenous people (both Muslims and Christians) from their homes and hearths, turning them into refugees in neighbouring lands.

Expulsions and massacres of the Palestinian natives never ceased in the subsequent years despite the Camp David, Madrid, and Oslo Accords, and those who remained were confined to what could be called ghettos in the Gaza Strip, West Bank of River Jordan, and East Bayt al-Moqaddas.

In view of these facts, Zionism is thus racist to its very core, and the reason the supposedly democratic West supports this organized terrorism is its Islamophobia that is also the devilish project of the Zionists to deceive the Christians.

The West’s backing for the Zionist entity’s supposed “right to defend itself” from the heroic ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Storm” of the Hamas liberation movement by killing children and women, and targeting hospitals, schools, markets, mosques, churches, water resources, and UN offices, while depriving 2.3 million people of food, fuel, water, electricity and medicine, is not just hypocrisy but blatant racism.

It is thus necessary for the UN to revive the 1975 resolution determining Zionism as among the worst forms of apartheid and racism.
