For relegating the infamous UN Resolution 3379 to the dustbin of history.

On September 23, President Bush, speaking at the UN, called for the resolution's repeal: "[Zionism] is the idea that led to the creation of a home for the Jewish people, to the state of Israel. And to equate Zionism with the intolerable sin of racism is to twist history and forget the terrible plight of Jews in World War II and indeed throughout history." On December 16, the 111 countries listed above did the right thing and decisively repealed the resolution. As Israeli foreign minister David Levy declared after the historic vote: "It was a victory of morality over injustice... and courage over cowardice."
