Resolution 3379, which declared Zionism to be “a form of racism and racial discrimnation.” The resolution also cited the political declaration adopted at the Conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Non-Aligned Countries held at Lima, Peru, on August 25–30, 1975, which had condemned Zionism “as a threat to world peace” and a “racist and imperialist ideology.”
>This resolution—most commonly referred to as the “Zionism is racism” resolution— came onto the scene against the backdrop of the Cold War. At that time, the United Nations was a forum in which countries often vied for the approval of, and were aligned with, one of the two great powers. Beginning in the 1960s, following the June 1967 Six-Day War, the Soviet Union began promoting the concept of “Zionism-equals-racism” as a way to strengthen its relations with, and support for, the Arab countries in their ongoing conflict with the State of Israel. The very essence of Zion- ism as the Jewish movement of national liberation and self-determination, which created the only democratic society in the Middle East where Jews and Arabs could live alongside one another, was deliberately distorted into its own antithesis. According to Israel’s enemies, which after 1967 included almost all of the Communist states and many of the so-called non-aligned countries, any manifestation of Jewish national rights was deemed hostile to Arab claims to the entirety of the territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River. Thus, anti-Zionism became a staple of foreign policy not just for Arab and Communist governments, but also for those countries that wanted to burnish their so-called “anti-imperialist” credentials. This process accelerated as Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous country, began moving away from the Soviet sphere of influence in the Middle East. In 1973, the UN General Assembly passed an anti-apartheid resolution that condemned “the unholy alliance between Portuguese colonialism, South African racism, Zionism and Israeli imperialism.”Previous thread:

The Canary news website is now shutting down permanently due to financial issues, this follows them being de-banked by Lloyds with no prior notice. While Lloyds has refused to give a reason for the de-banking, it's clearly politically motivated.
That's despite the fact The Canary had more or less just taken a standard democratic socialist / 2010's Corbynista type perspectives on issues, trying to provide an alternative to the other overwhelmingly right wing mainstream of UK News outlets. It was not what anyone could call "extreme", or communist, or anarchist by any stretch.
Prior to October 7th, Lloyds had invested in total over £43.2 billion in credit and loans to weapons, construction, and aerospace companies which supply the IOF and zionist West Bank colonists, and has since invested a further £3.9 billion in the Israeli genocide machine.
