Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein and ZOA Chair Rubin Margules released the following statement:
The Zionist Organization of America is horrified and devastated by Arab Islamist Iran-supported Hamas murdering six young innocent Israeli Jews in cold blood, including an Israeli-American. We will never forget Hersh Goldberg-Polin (23); Eden Yerushalmi (24); Carmel Gat (40); Almog Sarusi (27); Alexander Lobanov (32) and Ori Danino (25). We will also never forget the over 1,200 other Jews murdered, raped, tortured and mutilated by the inhuman Hamas monsters.
The ZOA urges the United States to stop handcuffing Israel’s critically important efforts to destroy Iran-backed Hamas and Hezbollah. Stop pressuring Israel to end its moral war against Hamas before Hamas is destroyed and can never threaten Jews again as they’ve repeatedly promised. Stop slow-walking critically essential weapons Israel needs to destroy Hamas, an enemy of both Israel and America. Stop refusing to send certain critical weapons to the Jewish State of Israel.
President Biden and VP Harris, your actions are delaying an end to this war and causing even more Jews and others to be killed. You claim you support Israel’s right to defend herself against Hamas, but then you harm the Jewish State’s ability to defend herself. Your actions are intolerable and endangering Israel and Jews. Start taking real action – not fruitless negotiations – to help free the hostages. Do you think that Hamas would have murdered Israeli-American Hersh Goldin-Polin and other Israeli-Americans if U.S. leaders had convincingly threatened real consequences against Hamas’ patrons, Iran and Qatar, if Hamas killed a single American?
The Zionist Organization of America fully supports Israel continuing this existential and moral war until Hamas, Hezbollah and the Arabs of Judea/Samaria can no longer threaten Jews. We oppose any ceasefire as premature and oppose releasing thousands of Palestinian-Arab and Gazan terrorists as part of any deal. We also support doing everything we can to secure the release of the innocent Jewish hostages, without endangering Israel’s security or the lives of Jews now and in the future.
Our hearts go out to the family and friends of those who were mercilessly murdered by these evil Islamic Iran-supported terror groups. We are praying for their precious souls. Their beautiful memories should be a blessing.
