A/44/PV.67 General Assembly
I call on the representative'of Israel on a point of
order.
Mr. BEIN (Israel): Countries.in the United Nations have names.
definitely does not mind being called Zionist. We are very proud of it. M
know that Zionism is one of the liberation mvements of which a country can be
proud. But I was not called by my name, and 1. think that the President should rule
that countries in the United Nations have denominations; they should be called by
their names and not be called entities. I too could resort to this kind of thing:
1 could call the Syrian Arab Republic a terrorist entity. But I would rather not,
The Israeli request is noted, and I ask the
representative of the Syrian Arab Republic to proceed in accordance therewith.
Mr. SHAHEED (Syrian Arab Republic) (interpretation from Arabic); I am
not going to answer the allegations of the representative of the Zionist entity who
interrupted ma under the pretext of a point of order. I shall not do so for a
simple reason: out of respect especially for you -
(Mr. Bein, Israel)
The PRSS IDENT: I call again on the representative of Israel on a point
0f‘t~ae~
Mr. BEIN (Israel): Mr. President, if I understood correctly, you have
just asked the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic to use the right
denominations of States as they are used in the United Nations. He did not. He
ignored your request.
I should like to refer to what I have already said. I
regret that the representative of Israel had to interrupt the debate again. I
suPPose that delegations are aware of the practice established in the United
Nations with regard to the names of States. In the interest of a substantive
discussion, I hope that there will not be another interruption of the debate.
I ask the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic to continue his statement.
Mr. SHAHERU (Syrian Arab Republic) (interpretation from Arabic): Once
more I wish to confirm that out of my respect for you, Sir, I am not going to
comment on the points of order which the representative of the Zionist entity in
occupied Palestine claimed he had the right to speak on. out of my respect for
YOU, Sir, and for those attending this meeting, I shall not answer him.
Allow me to continue my statement in order to present my country's Concept Of
peace, which is in complete opposition to the Zionist racist Concept. We have
always rejected and shall always reject that concept because it is not based on the
Principles of right or justice and does not restore the rights of those whose land
was usurped.
Those who seek to achieve peace should find its Components. Those who wish to
establish peace should have all the factors leading to peace. None of these
factors is expansion, destruction and the denial of the peoples' rights. Peace has
its objective factors. of they are established, then peace, in turn, will be
established. Otherwise, to speak of peace would be futile. Until these objective
factors are es tabl,ished , to speak of peace would be nothing but falsification and
deception. Foremost among these objective factors is the elimination of all forms
Of aggression and commitment to the Charter of the United Nations and international
norms. The developments -
The' PRESIDENT: The representative of the Syrian Arab Republic has used
up his five minutes.
I call on the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who wishes t0
speak a second time in exercise of the right of reply.
Mr. HOSSEINI (Islamic Republic of Iran) x We think that the presence of
the cancerous Zionist re'gime goes against peace in our region. The main cause of
instability and trouble in the region is the existence of the Zionist occupiers.
That is the main reason, That re'gime, which was created by force and has sent
thousands of Palestinians into refugee camps, is now asking for peace and talking
about peace. This reminds us of a situation where a burglar breaks into a house hY
force and then says, "Well, let's share the property." That is the exact logic of
the Zionist non-entity representatives.
I think the Zionist base is a danger to peace and security not only in the
Middle East but in the world. As I said earlier, we believe that peace can b@
restored to the Middle East only by the recognition of the Palestinian people's
inalienable right to establish their own independent State in the entire land of
Palestine.
The PRESIDENT8 1 call on the representative of Israel, who wishes to
speak a second time in exercise of the right of reply.
Mr; BEm (Israel) t I want only to reiterate this; I hope you have
listened, Sir, to the representative of Iran. He just called for the liquidation
Of the State of Israel so that another State can be established in the whole
territory of Palestine. That is, in a nutshell, what we have in the Middle East f
that is the conf lictt we are calling for peace! they are calling for liquidation.
