Abstract:
Describes the recurring attempt (which has become an annual ritual since 1982) by certain Arab states (particularly Iran and Libya) and their supporters to delegitimize Israel's membership in the UN General Assembly and other UN forums. Contends that although the effort has been unsuccessful, it has undermined the UN organization more than it has Israel. The ousting of Israel would bring into question the universality of the UN and its entire "raison d'etre, " a fact also acknowledged by Israel's enemies who, in private, state that they are opposed to discreditation, but they cannot say so in public.
