Als je sterke vrienden hebt moet je je daar echter niets van aantrekken:
United Nations General Assembly Resolution 46/86 passed on December 16, 1991, revoked Resolution 3379 with a vote of 111 to 25, with 13 abstentions.
Israel made revocation of resolution 3379 a condition of its participation in the Madrid Peace Conference, in progress in the last quarter of 1991. Under pressure from the administration of President George H.W. Bush in the United States, the UN passed the resolution. The text of the revocation was simply:
- "The general assembly decides to revoke the determination contained in its resolution 3379 (XXX) of 10 November 1975."
This formed resolution 46/86, which is one of the shortest in UN history. During this session, President Bush told the General Assembly:
- "...to equate Zionism with the intolerable sin of racism is to twist history and forget the terrible plight of Jews in World War II and indeed throughout history."
Dit is echter zeker niet de enige keer dat Israel hulp heeft gekregen van de VS binnen den Verenigde Naties:

Het is onbegrijpbaar dat wij nog langer in zo'n corrupte organisatie willen vertegenwoordigd zijn.
Elk land dat een beetje zelfrespect heeft zou uit deze schijnheilige praatbarak moeten stappen.
