Know what Zionism is, or only the propoganda?
When talking about people's political views the best bet is to ask them.

Post: U.N. Record

The U.N. Record on Israel and the Arabs
Of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.
Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
The U.N was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
Reply: Arab East Jerusalem
Wendy, Mon Jul 25, 2005
One expression that has taken root is "Arab East Jerusalem." Obviously, the Western Wall and the Jewish Quarter are in East Jerusalem...Hadassah Hospital and Hebrew U are in East Jerusalem. I have no problem with Jerusalem being a shared capital, but I don't think that Arab East Jerusalem is an accurate expression. Obviously it intends to enshrine the Jordanian idea of East Jerusalem, when Jews were not allowed to visit, let alone live, in East Jersualem. This leads to situations such as the demoting of a Greek Orthodox patriarch who sold land to Jews and who was forced from office. I think is a mask for anti-Semitism by other means.
That said, I don't like the Israeli settler attitudes--but if land is bought, people should be allowed to live there. Even in Jerusalem. Even in East Jerusalem.

Reply: israel calls for an end to hostility at the United Nations

I wonder if this call, or the Gaza pullout, will have any effect on the tide of UN resolutions against Israel. I didn't realize they were carbon copies of each other, as the Israeli ambassador points out. I can't figure out why the Europeans and the Scandanavians keep voting for them, though. Japan needs oil, so she will vote with the Arabs, but Norway?

Israel calls for end to hostility at United Nations
By Reuters
UNITED NATIONS - The Gaza pullout should mark an end to UN hostility against Israel, Israeli UN Ambassador Dan Gillerman said yesterday, urging the world body to support the withdrawal as a historic move toward peace.
Gillerman's comments echoed previous calls by Israel and the United States to halt the litany of anti-Israel resolutions passed by the UN General Assembly each year, and dismantle the extensive bureaucracy built up around the Palestinian cause.
"It is time for the United Nations to acknowledge Israel's actions," Gillerman said. "We hope that in the United Nations there will be no more business as usual as far as the Middle East is concerned... No more Israel-bashing, no more ongoing resolutions which keep repeating themselves time after time."
The 191-nation General Assembly, dominated by developing nations, usually passes about two dozen resolutions criticizing Israel each year, often virtually identical to previous resolutions.
The resolutions put forward by Arab states typically win the support of the vast majority of UN members, opposed only by Israel, the United States and a few Pacific island states.
"We hope we will see a more positive and a less combative General Assembly, recognizing that something dramatic, historic has happened," Gillerman said.
