Disgusted Arab Diplomars At U. N. Sneer Privately At Envoy Of Saudi Arabia For Recent Attack On Jews

Saudi Arabia's ambassador urged the UN to indorse and adopt: "the crusade against Zionism" proclaimed by Tacuara, the anti Jewish Fascist-movement in Argentina. In words such as the UN. has seldom heard in its 17-year history, Ahmad Shukairy paradoxically charged Nazism and racism... praised the Soviet Union for not permitting its Jews to emigrate, criticized the West for helping Israel. 

He claimed to speak "with the full credentials from the Arab world," but disgusted Arab diplomats privately spread the word that "Shukairy speaks only for. Shukairy," writes Darius S. Jhah-vala, of the New York Herald Tribune. The anti-Jewish and anti-Israel tirade came in a nearly two-hour speech before the Special Political Committee of the General Assembly, discussing the perennial question of the million Palestine Arab refugees. With grimaces and a lot of arm. ..
More heinous than that of South Africa.
He then denounced the British, for using Israel... he had bitter words for the United States..
Mr. Shukairy lent full support to Soviet policy that forbids the emigration of Jews. "It is common knowledge," he added, reports the New York Herald Tribune, "that the Soviet Union and the countries of Eastern Europe have outlawed Zionism as a subversive and imperialist movement, and consequently have outlawed Jewish emigration. Such a position is a great service to the cause of peace in the Middle East and deserves our earnest and sincere gratification." He then urged, that the Arab refugees should "rise to arms to take not the law, but justice in their hands." 

He offered a "salute" to Argentina for being the home of neo-Nazi organizations. 

Argentine Ambassador Lucio Garcia del Solar, apparently embarrassed by Mr. Shukairy's snow of support of the Nazi organizations in his country, which the Argentine government has openly denounced, told the Saudi Arabian diplomat that his "salute" was unwelcome. An Israeli official, asked to comment, said: "The speech was the usual pattern for Shukairy  distortion of facts, cheap phrases and not unusual from a so-called representative from a so-called country living under medieval conditions."  https://newspapers.lib.sfu.ca/mcc-cjr-3185/page-1

Shukairy's 1956 'Southern Syria,' not a separated Palestine entity yet

June 1, 1956 Daily News from New York, New York · 45 Syria Demands: Talk On Pre-lsrael Basis By PETER WALLENBERG Syria demanded in the UN Security Council yesterday that everything the United Nations had done in the Palestine question,... the political aspects of the Palestine dispute. Shukairy tore into the British resolution that is backed by the U. S. and France and which would empower Hammarskjold to continue bis efforts toward "a peaceful settlement on a mutually acceptable basis." "The establishment of Israel, its membership in the UN and all other resolutions will have to be revoked," Shukairy said. "Then, and only then," he added, "the United Nations can look forward to a solution on a mutually acceptable basis." Israel's envoy, Abba Eban, take ever Israel and quoted Shukairy's word that Israel was just a part of southern Syria. https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/455603792/ Vochenblatt - Jun 7, 1956, p.1 Ahmed Shukairy of ...

Shukairy removal 1962, author Hart

Parker T. Hart, "Saudi Arabia and the United States: Birth of a Security Partnership," Indiana University Press, 1998, p.167 He had managed in 1962 to send on vacation ” the headstrong Saudi UN permanent representative , Ahmad Shukairi. Under King Saud, Shukairi had been accustomed to largely having his own way in representing Saudi positions before the United Nations. These were consistently anti-British (Saud had broken relations with Britain over the 1956 Suez War) and highly critical of US policy on matters relating to Palestine and Israel. Representations by Shukairi on these matters were part of his standing duties, but the language he used was fiery and often extreme. Faisal replaced him on an acting basis with a venerable family retainer, Jamil Baroody, a man totally devoted to Faisal. https://books.google.com/books?id=7sgjntLGROwC&pg=PA167
