Israel's Ambassador to Israel Danny Danon, who organized the exhibit in cooperation with StandWithUs, wrote to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, demanding that the decision be revoked.
If the decision is not revoked, Danon said he will display the censored topics as part of an exhibit protesting the absurdity of the UN's decision.
Danny Danon (Hebrew: דני דנון, born 8 May 1971) is an Israeli politician who currently serves as Israel's envoy to theUnited Nations. Danon was previously a member of the Knesset for Likud, Minister of Science, Technology and Space, Technology and Space and Deputy Minister of Defence. He served among others as Chairman of World Likud, Member of the Jewish Agency Board of Governors, Member of the Zionist Executive of World Zionist Organization and Chairman of the World Betar Executive.
The exhibit was scheduled to open on Monday.
"According to this outrageous decision, Zionism doesn't befit the United Nations and that is why I decided to protest," Danon said. "We'll work to distribute the censored content to millions across the world."
About 40 years ago, the UN passed a resolution defining Zionism as racism, which was only cancelled 16 years later. Danon asserted that the UN's decision to censor the displays is in practice exactly the same as that resolution.
"By censoring displays on Zionism, the UN undermines the very existence of the State of Israel as the home of the Jewish people," Danon said. "We won't allow the UN to censor the fact Jerusalem is Israel's eternal capital."
