ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA IN THE MEDIA JNS - ZOA: Biden Administration Backtracking on Pro-Israel Policies & Made Numerous Anti-Israel Appointments “We're at a critical moment when Israel and her leaders and all of us who love Israel must stand strong against what this administration is trying to do,” ZOA President Mort Klein told viewers of the organization’s virtual gala. By Dmitriy Shapiro (DECEMBER 22, 2021 / JNS) Leaders of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) warned supporters to be vigilant against what they believe to be increasing anti-Israel positions from leaders, and the trend of encroaching tolerance for antisemitic rhetoric masked as anti-Zionism, during the organization’s annual gala on Sunday. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the gala was held as a webcast, highlighted by video addresses from leaders and activists in the ZOA, as well as politicians such as former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. The event was hosted by Jewish Iranian-American journalist Lisa Daftari, who personally praised the ZOA for its work in teaching about the dangers of a nuclear Iran, a cause she is intimately involved in. Mort Klein, president of ZOA for the past 28 years, told viewers that advances which the ZOA supports often get reversed by various governments — dating back to the time Great Britain restricted immigration at the outset of World War II despite international treaties giving Jews the right to immigrate to Mandatory Palestine in 1920. “Britain turned around and slammed shut the doors to Israel, just at the moment when millions of Jews faced annihilation in Europe,” Klein said. Today too, according to Klein, the ZOA needs to remain vigilant against what he said was the Biden administration backtracking advances made during the Trump administration.
