UN General Assembly
1967

46. The painful memories of the martyrdom of more than 6 million Jewish victims of German nazism so ably and compellingly recalled to the mind of this Assembly cannot but move deeply the feelings and conscience of mankind. Such heinous crimes shocked the conscience of the Arabs as they did the rest of humanity. The Arabs made heavy sacrifices side by side with those who fought on to victory against German nazism. It is therefore truly shameful and Inadmissible to call up such memories to Justify before an organization such as ours massacres, pillaging and military occupation on the part of the Israel armed forces in the Arab territories which they hold in defiance of the most sacred principles of the United Nations Charter.
