ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE ZOA Mourns Jews Murdered by Islamist Terrorists; and Condemns Sec’y Blinken for Promoting Policies Encouraging Anti-Jewish Terror Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein and ZOA Director of Research & Special Projects Liz Berney, Esq. released the following statement: ZOA mourns four innocent Jewish Israelis – Doris Yahbas (a wife and mother of three children); Rabbi Moshe Kravitsky (a Chabad emissary, husband, and father of four children, who ran a soup kitchen); Lora Yitzhak; and Menachem Yehezkel – who were brutally run over with a vehicle and stabbed to death by an Islamist Bedouin terrorist in Be’er Sheva, Israel during the past week. We also mourn the two innocent Israelis (Yezan Falah and Shirel Abukarat) murdered by two Arab terrorist gunmen in yet another horrific terror attack yesterday, in the coastal Israeli city of Hadera. All of us at ZOA also pray and wish for a “Refuah Shelaima” (a full recovery) for the many innocent Jews who were seriously wounded in the Be’er Sheva stabbing attacks, the Hadera shooting attack, and three other attacks (a shooting attack and two other stabbing attacks) perpetrated by Arab terrorists in Jerusalem – all in this past week. This continuing anti-Jewish violence is horrifying. Arab terrorists murder innocent Jews – simply because they are Jews – leaving bereft Jewish children and families. It is a nightmare that the Palestinian Authority (PA) incites these horrific attacks and continues to pay huge lifetime pensions to the terrorists who commit these attacks. The PA’s incitement and payments are the real problem – the real impediment to peace. Unfortunately, instead of appropriately dealing with Arab violence and incitement, U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken promoted policies that will encourage more Arab terrorism against Jews, in meetings and a joint press conference in Jerusalem yesterday, March 27. First, Blinken called for a Palestinian Arab state on Israel’s lawful land (a so-called “two-state solution”). A Palestinian Arab state would be an Iranian-proxy Hamas-Fatah terror state that subjects Israel’s major population centers to constant rocket and other terror attacks. Second, Blinken falsely characterized “settlers” (a derogatory term for indigenous Jews) building homes in the lawful Jewish homeland as provoking violence. Blinken’s statement was discriminatory, antisemitic, and truly despicable. It is reminiscent of the antisemitic official who blamed the fact that Jews live in Jersey City for the murderous attack on Jews in a kosher supermarket there.
