Email from Zionist Organization of America   ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE ZOA Praises New DHS Policy - Antisemitism is Now Grounds for Denying Immigration; and ZOA Criticizes JCPA's Extremist, Former J Street Press Secy Amy Spitalnick’s Shameful Letter Undermining this Policy Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement: The ZOA praises the new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy announced on Wednesday (April 9) that, effective immediately, “the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin considering aliens’ antisemitic activity on social media and the physical harassment of Jewish individuals as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests. . . . DHS will enforce all relevant immigration laws to the maximum degree, to protect the homeland from extremists and terrorist aliens, including those who support antisemitic terrorism, violent antisemitic ideologies and antisemitic terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, or Ansar Allah aka: “the Houthis”.” Shamefully, the next day, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA)’s extreme left wing CEO Amy Spitalnick (who previously worked as the anti-Israel group J Street’s Press Secretary) shot off an obnoxious letter to U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, questioning and attempting to undermine the new DHS policy to protect Jewish students and the American homeland from antisemitic terrorists and terror sympathizers who have made many Jewish students’ college experience into a living hell. Why is JCPA’s CEO protecting terrorists, Jew-haters and terror supporters? Among other things, the radical JCPA CEO wanted to know whether the U.S. administration is also precluding entry into the United States of people engaged in “anti-Muslim prejudice.” At a time when antisemitic Islamists are attacking and calling for murdering Jews on campuses throughout the country, why in the world is the head of a Jewish organization trying to undermine DHS’s efforts, by pretending that the problem on college campuses is non-existent anti-Muslim prejudice? Did the members of JCPA (which is an umbrella group of JCRC’s, etc.) approve of Spitalnick’s troubling letter?
