New York, NY, September 16, 2003…The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today expressed appreciation to the United States for vetoing a one-sided resolution considered by the United Nations Security Council, which condemned Israel for potential action against Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasir Arafat while ignoring actual terrorist action by the Palestinians.
"The resolution considered by the Security Council was yet another ludicrous and one-sided action in which Israel was blamed for alleged or potential action, while actual acts of Palestinian terrorism against Israeli civilians are ignored," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director.
"We express our appreciation to the United States for its principled veto of this biased resolution, and its insistence that Palestinian terrorism be recognized and condemned by the Security Council."
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.
