Bias against Israel can be traced back to the General Assembly Resolution 3379 of 1975 which equated Zionism and racism
That resolution was shelved in 1991 but only 10 years later the highly controversial World Conference against Racism in Durban, in essence revived it
Resolutions targeting Israel have applied a blatant double standard, painting the world’s only Jewish state with a brush of illegitimacy while silencing its right to defend itself from aggression
Since 2015 the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has delivered 140 resolutions condemning Israel – far more than the number of resolutions against all other nations combined
The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) whose steering members frequently represent authoritarian, repressive regimes such as North Korea and Iran, has passed an overwhelming number of resolutions against the Jewish state, in contrast to the few resolutions that are passed against countries with notorious human rights records, such as Syria and China whose representatives have sat on the UNHRC
