Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein will be interviewed today, Tuesday, July 21 at 1:30 PM EDT, on Newsmax Now with John Bachman.
Klein will be discussing the fact that 16 Jewish leaders irrationally and viciously attacked him and ZOA for exposing the antisemitic Israel-hating policies of the organization Black Lives Matter. The BLM group calls Israel a genocidal apartheid state and supports BDS.
The Jewish leaders who attacked Mort Klein and ZOA include: the top leaders of the Reform (Rabbis Rick Jacobs, Hara Person and Bennett Miller, Marla Feldman) and Conservative Jewish Movements (Rabbis Jacob Blumenthal and Ellen Wolintz-Fields, and Marilyn Wind, Leslie Liebler); Robert Aaronson of HIAS (a tiny proportion of the refugees they help are Jewish, while they’ve defended and praised Jew-hater and Israel-hater Linda Sarsour, and while working with tainted groups such as Islamic Relief USA and CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations); Ken Bob of Ameinu (also treasurer of J Street); Sheila Katz of National Council of Jewish Women and Americans for Peace Now; and Na'amat, Jewish Women International. The New Israel Fund, J Street, and T’ruah and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Group have also condemned Klein for daring to expose the BLM group’s antisemitic platform.
Mort Klein has been defended by Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz (who said he would defend Klein/ZOA legally and politically), as well as Caroline Glick, Melanie Phillips, Jonathan Tobin, Daniel Greenfield, and others.
