By Ambassador Danny Danon
For years, we in Israel thought that the hostile reality at the UN
was something unalterable. We became impervious to automatic
condemnations and stopped getting upset when Palestinian incitement was
met with open arms.
To clear the air the anti-Semitism that pervaded the corridors of the
organization, we launched a long but justified battle, possibly the
most justified one ever waged in the UN.
In the past few years, we have spearheaded a number of
precedent-setting initiatives that helped us throw off the hostile
atmosphere and strengthen our status in the organization.
It started on the day I was appointed chairman of the Justice
Committee, an unprecedented occurrence that proved that Israel can win,
even in the UN. The new balance of power stood out especially when
ambassadors from the countries hostile to Israel were forced, for the
first time, to face a senior committee head who was also Israel's
ambassador to the UN, and ask for the right to speak.
In every fight, we assemble the moral majority, led by our friend the
US. Together we have led proposals for resolutions that were voted on
in the General Assembly and designed to isolate nations that support
terrorism and block anti-Israel declarations.
