On November 10, 1975, the General Assembly of United Nations passed Resolution 3379, which declared Zionism a form of racism. Afterward, a tall man with long, graying hair, horned-rim glasses, and a bowtie stood to speak. He pronounced his words with the rounded tones of a Harvard academic, but his voice shook with outrage: "The United States rises to declare, before the General Assembly of the United Nations, and before the world, that it does not acknowledge, it will not abide by, it will never acquiesce in this infamous act."

This speech made Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, a celebrity, but as Gil Troy demonstrates in this compelling new book, it also marked the rise of neo-conservatism in American politics--the start of a more confrontational, national-interest-driven foreign policy that turned away from Kissinger's d?tente-driven approach to the Soviet Union--which was behind Resolution 3379. Moynihan recognized the resolution for what it was: an attack on Israel and a totalitarian assault against democracy, motivated by anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism. While Washington distanced itself from Moynihan, the public responded enthusiastically: American Jews rallied in support of Israel. Civil rights leaders cheered. The speech cost Moynihan his job--but soon won him a U.S. Senate seat. Troy examines the events leading up to the resolution, vividly recounts Moynihan's speech, and traces its impact in intellectual circles, policy making, international relations, and electoral politics in the ensuing decades.

The mid-1970s represent a low-water mark of American self-confidence, as the country, mired in an economic slump, struggled with the legacy of Watergate and the humiliation of Vietnam. Moynihan's Moment captures a turning point, when the rhetoric began to change and a more muscular foreign policy began to find expression, a policy that continues to shape international relations to this day.

    It's hard to conceive of a more timely book than Gil Troy's "Moynihan Moment."

    Troy captures an era that has returned, and with a vengeance--the movement to delegitimize Israel. Today it is BDS; in the 1970s it was "Zionism as racism." The two are simply two sides of the same coin, and with the same objective: not to oppose Israel's policies but Israel's existence.

    In this lucid, clear-eyed and deeply researched book, Troy describes how UN Resolution 3379 was a direct result of Soviet machinations, which, as he points out, were grounded in virulent anti-Semitism. Unable to counter the resolution, Moynihan denounced it with an eloquence that reverberates today, when the U.S. frequently fails to take a sufficiently moral, forthright position in world bodies. Moynihan's unabashed stance was directly opposed by Henry Kissinger, who is portrayed in this book as back-stabbing and insincere.

    Troy goes on to deal with the aftermath of the resolution, its 1991 revocation, the Durban disaster of 2001, in which anti-Semitism was on display in an open and brazen manner not seen since the Nuremberg rallies.

    This book is of particular value to those of us who are troubled by the preoccupation with Israel by many on the left and their connivance with radical Islam, which runs counter to true progressive values. Troy's book provides valuable insights into that disturbing phenomenon.

    4,0 von 5 Sternen A seminal speech for our times

    Gil Troy's thoroughly researched and referenced work has the homely feel of a personal conversation. He describes the backdrop and the consequences of what must have been one of the most shocking and remarkable speeches every made at the United Nations General Assembly. It is characteristic of Moynihan's uncompromisingly academic style that the first sentence of this bombshell contains over 90 words. It was a sledge hammer to the all too persistent and willful fantasy that Zionism is apartheid.

    Others better versed can judge whether Moynihan made factual errors on not being able to claim Israeli citizenship if Judaism is not espoused (as I think he has), or indeed the mild supermacist aspirations shared by so many nations, latent in the Torah and Talmud (and for which being so explicit and almost somewhat superstitious about that great Zionist Winston Churchill was sometimes castigated by cautious Jewry for himself harbouring anti-Semitic views Churchill and the Jews). Yet for these two minor flaws, the speech was a breath of fresh air in the stultified and paralysed atmosphere of UN post-colonialist guilt and anti-imperialist crusading (so often disguising the desire for a new imperialism of its critics). It is a breath of fresh air now for its moral and prophetic clarity and its rejection of a hollow and hypocritical propaganda.

    I remain deeply ashamed of the UK's UN ambassador Ivor (now Baron) Richard who later disgracefully attacked Moynihan as the 'Wyatt Earp of international politics'. An epithet that still covers its coiner in opprobrium.

    A fascinating and educating read into a titanic, if mercurial, spokesman for America's authority, a steadfast liberal, an anchored and principled Democrat, at a time when the US seemed to specialise in apologising for itself in the UN, as the West in general still does now.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Great book
    Bewertet in Kanada am 11. Februar 2013

    Great book on this time of infamy, mainly from 1973 to 1991, when the General Assembly of the United Nations was essentially a "third world dictators' debating society" prone to selective indignation and moral blindness, a "facilitator of human wrongs, an attacker of human rights" and a conceiver of incendiary resolutions incompatible with the advancement of peace. A must read for anyone interested in world peace, the United Nations, zionism, Israel or western civilization.

    The key event is the infamous UN Resolution 3379, adopted on Nov. 19 1975. It equated jewish nationalism with racism. Moynihan recognized immediately that this resolution was "a totalitarian assault against democracy itself." Because of Resolution 3379, zionism was condemned in any conference or venue focusing on racism, and that was done in total impunity for 16 years in a row. The second key event is Resolution 46/86, adopted on Dec. 16 1991: it "revoked the determination contained in Resolution 3379".

    Gil Troy presents the background events leading to Resolution 3379. Then he moves to the main events (1975 to 1991) and their aftermath after 1991. Despite the world-wide infamies he had to go through, he is exceedingly fair and scholarly towards all protagonists. His presentation is crisp, clear, enjoyable and free of repetitions.

    While the outrageous lie about zionism was debated and approved at the United Nations, 3 million Cambodians were being murdered in total impunity. The black racist murderer Idi Amin Dada received a standing ovation in the General Assembly while he was "midway through a tenure of terror (1971 to 1979) during which he would murder as many as 300 000 Ugandans", 250 000 of them of Asian origin.

    But Cambodia was "doubly protected from UN scrutiny as third world and communist". And Idi Amin Dada was African, black and anticolonialist. Israel was much easier prey for a UN prone on inverting reality and capitalizing on recent events all of which emboldened islamic and communist countries, most of which chastened the USA:
    1) In 1971 Taiwan was expelled from the UN;
    2) 1973 witnessed Watergate, the arab oil embargo and Resolution 3057 endorsing a "decade for action to combat racism and racial discrimination";
    3) In 1974 Arafat addressed the general assembly, and South Africa was banned from the UN.
    4) In April 1975, Saigon fell, the Khmers Rouges conquered Cambodia, New York City was nearly bankrupt and a coterie of 40 islamist countries demanded the expulsion of Israel from the UN.

    Perverse effects of Resolution 3379 were numerous. "By requiring countries to report on their attempts to combat racism, which included zionism from 1975 to 1991, the UN had given the Soviet authorities an internationally sanctioned license to harass Jews wanting to emigrate to Israel for being racist, which was then a crime." "It became legitimate for the Soviets to say that they were against anti-Semitism and against zionism, because both were forms of racism". After Nov. 19 1975, "the UN became more welcoming to random anti-Israel outbursts".

    The terrible stain that lasted 16 years still oozes with toxic effects because most islamic and communist countries voted against Resolution 46/86 and still consider that Resolution 3379 represents Truth. Three consequence of such perverted thinking are the election of Basher al-Assad 'Syria to two UNESCO human rights committees in 2011; the still extant apartheid analogy, which is "absurd because the conflict between Israelis and Palestinian is national, not racial"; and the Durban conference of 2001, which essentially "repealed the repeal" and "endorsed reinstating Resolution 3379".

    There is a great need for "Moynihan's moment"; and a huge need for a french translation of it: there is no entry for Resolution 46/86 in the french version of Wikipedia 23 years after the fact!

    Some Moynihan's aphorisms: "the volume of complaints about a country's human rights violations are inversely proportional to the actual number of violations"; "countries which have papers filled with good news usually have jails filled with good people."

    5,0 von 5 Sternen A superb account of Amb. Moynihan at the UN by GIL TROY
    Bewertet in den USA am17. Dezember 2012

    I have nothing but praise for Prof.. Gil Troy's brilliant rendering of Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moynihan's tenure as US Envoy to the United Nations. Prof. Troy is the first scholar to write about the events that led to the "Zionism Is Racism" UN Resolution, the harm that was done, and the brave and bold response of Amb. Moynihan and his friend and colleague Chiam Herzog, Israel's Ambassador to the UN. I lived through all of it. Amb. Moynihan was my father, and I always felt it was his finest hour, exposing the "Big Red Lie", the handiwork of UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, who was later outed as a Nazi general who oversaw the extermination of tens of thousands of European Jews. Waldheim outlived both Moynihan and Herzog and died in his luxurious chateau in Austria. I thank Prof. Troy for telling this story so that the world will know what happened, why Amb. Moynihan had to resign from the UN, and what Waldheim and his cabal did to the UN and to the world. The book captures the reader with elegant writing, meticulous research, and vivid renderings of those events in 1975 and 76. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the international history of the post war era.
