Some of the world’s best known intellectuals, including six Nobel Prize winners, issued a joint protest last Friday against the UN vote on Zionism which they called "a disservice to peace and a blow to the United Nations."
The signatories included Jean-Paul Sartre, Pierre Mendes-France, Simone de Beauvoir, Socialist leader Francois Mitterand, and Nobel Prize winners Rene Cassin, Francois Jacob, Alfred Kastler, Andre Lwoff and Andrei Sakharov. The protest termed the vote "a forgery of historical truth" which "forgets the genocide of six million victims."
