Britain launched a “world wide lobbying exercise” to overturn a landmark United Nations (UN) resolution which recognised Zionism as racism, declassified files reveal.

The information is in a private exchange between John Major’s foreign secretary Douglas Hurd and pro-Israel lobbyist Sir Trevor Chinn in 1992.

Weeks earlier, the UN General Assembly had voted to revoke Resolution 3379 which designated Zionism as a form of “racism and racial discrimination”.

Well, if you're the government responsible for the existence of modern-day Israel, makes sense that you'd want to whitewash that tomb. I mean, why do the right thing when that means admitting that you were wrong, amirite?
