Dr. Korey attributed the worldwide outbunt of anti-Semitism to the United Nations organization. "When the U.N. voted that Zloniem equals racism, they acted to deligitirnize the State of Israel," he eaid. Dr. Korey said that the nightmare vision of totalitarianism described by George Orwell has literally como true in the U.N. No less than 46 of the 68 sessions conducted by the U.N. were devoted to the condemnation of Iarael. All of tbeso.action*, Dr. Korey said, legitimized anti-Semitism. He pointed to the extect of thin anti-Semitic activity by disclosing that one of the documents found on Grenada refers to the expulsion of Zionism from the island — an Island, he Mid, where no Jews reside.
