The controversial claim that "'''[[Zionism]] is [[racism]]'''" has recurred many times in the context of [[United Nations]] debates and resolutions, especially since the [[1967 occupation of the West Bank and Gaza]] by the State of [[Israel]]. It has become in some circles an [[idiom]] or [[stock phrase]] to signal rejection of this occupation and demands for [[Israel]] to withdraw to the UN-mandated "Green Line".
To see all Zionism as racism is considered by some to be [[anti-Semitic]].
Under pressure from the [[George W. Bush]] administration of the [[United States]], the phrase was omitted from the agenda of the [[United Nations Conference on Racism]] in [[Durban, South Africa]], and its final communiqué.
