Abstract: | This article briefly traces Afro-Israeli relations since their inception and highlights some of the roots and causes of the coalescence of an African anti-Israel majority in the United Nations. The emergence of this majority has usually been explained in terms of the political clout of Arab petrodollars on fiscally beleaguered African ministates. Such a unicausal explanation, while to a significant extent valid, nevertheless belies the complexity of the matter that needs to be brought into sharper focus. Sections: The Afro-Israeli honeymoon - Afro-Israeli technical cooperation in perspective - The radicalization of African politics - Libya and the Petrodollar influence - Why the Anti-Zionism resolution?
