Email from Zionist Organization of America ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE ZOA Outraged by Senate Democrats for Promoting Propaganda Lie of “Settler Violence” Yet Ignoring Daily Palestinian Attacks on Jews Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following message: ZOA is outraged that the entire U.S. Senate Democratic Caucus, except Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), fell for the latest anti-Israel propaganda about a supposed existence of and increase of “settler violence” in Judea and Samaria, and sent a letter decrying this fake problem to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This letter urged Netanyahu to intercede to stop the phony “surge” of violence. The Senate Democrats ignore the true daily surge of Arab violence, including big gun and knife attacks against Jews and car rammings against Jews, all of which are promoted by the Palestinian Arab regime and the Imams in the mosques and the Palestinian media. At the same time, many of these same Senators have introduced a bill, along with bigot and Socialist anti-Israel Senator Bernie Sanders, to force the State Department to produce a report on the same fake issue within 30 days. If the report is not issued, Israel would lose all military aid, which many of these same Senators have already voted to eliminate in any case. The propaganda concerning this supposed “surge” relies on statistics from the United Nations ‘Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.’ These fake statistics claim that from 2016 through 2021, there were 6,285 incidents of “settler violence” against Palestinian Arabs. The UN promotes these fake numbers by using a ludicrous definition of “settler-related violence,” including: Arabs injured or killed while they were perpetrating terror attacks against Israeli Jews; misclassified Arab attacks on Jews!; Jewish visits to Temple Mount (16% of alleged incidents); clashes with security forces (14%); tourists visiting archeological sites; infrastructure work legally carried out by Israel; traffic accidents; alleged “trespassing” by Israeli tourists or hikers, with no damage to property or person (19%); incidents outside of Judea/Samaria (20%); involvement in clashes with no indication as to who initiated or was responsible. Further, the UN itself admits that it does not confirm every detail before incidents are added to the list, which makes the numbers even more unreliable. ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said: “These allegations against Jews who live in Judea/Samaria are absolute nonsense based on fake data. The UN is well-known for its extreme antisemitic bias against Jews and Israel, and the U.S. Senate should not be relying on its lies for policy. The amount of crimes by Jews there is tiny and handled immediately by Israel. But the average of 14 daily terrorist attacks by Palestinian Arabs is horrifically huge and is ignored by the Senate’s Democratic caucus. Shame on them. ZOA condemns these Democratic Senators for inspiring Jew-hatred and Israel-bashing by promoting this lie. We urge them to stop! “Where is their letter condemning the real violence and murder of Jews by Palestinians? And the Palestinians are paid by the Palestinian regime to commit murder of Jews. The dictatorship of the Palestinian regime spends $400 million per year paying Arabs a lifetime pension to murder Jews. “Many people ask me why Jew-hatred has become such a problem in our own country. Part of the answer is the failure of Jewish leaders to push back on slanders against the Jewish People that have become endemic in our country. There is no genocide committed by Israel. There is no apartheid in Israel. And there is no crisis of ‘settler violence.’ Continue Reading Share This Email Share This Email Share This Email     DONATE zoa.org   Copyright © Zionist Organization of America 2026.
