Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:
ZOA mourns the deaths of five more innocent Israelis and Ukrainians yesterday, who were murdered by a brutal Palestinian Arab Fatah terrorist in B’nei Brak, Israel. The Fatah terrorist – previously convicted for his prior terror and illegal arms dealing activities – rampaged through the streets of the religious community in B’nei Brak, shooting innocent civilians with an M-16 military assault rifle. Yesterday’s five innocent victims were: Rabbi Avishai Yehezkel, 29, a yeshivah teacher and father of a two-year-old son (whom Rabbi Yehezkel shielded with his body) and husband whose widowed wife is pregnant with the young couple’s second child; Rabbi Yaakov Shalom, 36, a husband and a father of five children; Amir Khouri, a heroic Arab Christian Israeli policeman who bravely killed the terrorist before Amir died of his wounds; and two Ukrainian citizens, Victor Sorokopot and Dimitri Mitrik who previously thought they were safer in Israel than in Ukraine. May there names and the lives they lived forever be a blessing.
As always, the Palestinian Authority’s ruling party Fatah and Hamas grotesquely rejoiced about these horrendous murders of innocent Jews and others. Palestinian Arabs gave out candies in Gaza, Shechem and Jenin, near the perpetrator’s village in the “West Bank” (the recent de-Judaized name for Judea/Samaria).
We are again heartbroken. Arab terrorists have now murdered eleven innocent souls (Jews, Druze and an Arab Christian) and wounded other innocents in just the past week. (See “ZOA Mourns Jews & Druze Murdered by Islamist Terrorists; and Condemns Sec’y Blinken for Promoting Policies Encouraging Anti-Jewish Terror,” Mar. 28, 2022.)
It has been over 100 years of the same Arab Islamist terror, since Arabs brutally stabbed and hacked to death 57 Jews in Jaffa and Jerusalem in 1920 and 1921.
If U.S. government officials are serious about their words of condolence and their offers to assist the Israeli government, then the Biden administration needs to massively overhaul its harmful policies (touted by Blinken just this week).
Specifically, the Biden administration must:
- Stop calling for a Palestinian Arab state on Israel’s lawful land, which would surely be an Iranian-proxy Hamas-Fatah terror state that enables increased terror against innocent Israelis.
