Vice President Walter Mondale said that the United States will continue to fight against the effort to equate Zionism with racism. He stated this in a letter given to Mrs. Charlotte Jacobson, chairman of the World Zionist Organization-American Section, when she was in Israel at the time Mondale was there earlier this month.
The letter, which she read to one of the sessions of the Zionist Actions Committee meeting in Jerusalem, stated: “We are proud of the American stand against the effort in the United Nations to equate Zionism with racism. Against this incredible equation we have fought and will continue to fight until reason and peaceful understanding prevail.” The letter also applauded the Zionism Actions Committee’s “commitment to the goals of achieving human dignity and social justice for all people. I can see the results of your work throughout Israel.”
