On Wednesday, the Permanent Mission of Israel to the UN, together with the Yad Chaim Herzog Association and American Jewish Congress, held a special event to commemorate the 40th anniversary of UN resolution 3379.

At a commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the adoption of a U.N. resolution equating Zionism with racism, US Secretary of State John Kerry urged the world to condemn rising anti-Semitism and bigotry and unite in the struggle against violent extremism and "terrorist bigots."
