       the horrors of the Nazi regime.”

       U.N., Danny Danon, wrote to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
       calling on him to condemn the remarks and demand Mr Borja
       apologise.
       >
       > Mr Danon wrote: “The U.N. cannot treat such despicable words
       of hate and pure anti-Semitism as business as usual. It should
       be made crystal clear to all member-states that such
       anti-Semitic behaviour will not be tolerated at the U.N.”

       > Zionism is a controversial ideology that is interpreted in
       many different ways. Some people consider it to be a legitimate
       belief in the existence of a Jewish state in the Middle East
       while others claim it is a racist or apartheid ideology has been
       used to aggressively expand Israel’s borders.
