There has been a U.N. resolution in 1975 condemning Zionism as a racist > movement. I bet we're supposed to say "If the U.N. says it, it must be true." One of the most despicable things the U.N. has ever done. Where's your evidence. Israel wouldn't stoop to the level of "Islam is racism" (there's certanly plenty of evidence to support this - Iran and Saudi Arabia). A tactic often used throughout (at least) the Arab-Israeli conflict has been (for lack of a better word) slogan-izing. I guess when you have nothing else to fall back on, a slogan or some false propoganda (there's been plenty of this from the Arab side) has to do. It draws people away from the real issue, that is, Israel's right to exist. When is the Arab world gonna acknowledge reality?
