Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:
During his visit to Israel, President Biden professed his “deep love” for Israel – and then (as we predicted) stuck several knives in Israel’s back: (1) Biden pressured Israel to give the Palestinian Authority terrorist dictatorship a state on Israel’s land; (2) increased funding to Palestinian Arab projects (which frees up funds for the Palestinian Authority to continue paying Arab terrorists hundreds of millions of dollars to murder Jews); (3) undermined Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem by visiting a Palestinian Arab site, while refusing to allow Israeli officials to accompany him and (4) removed Israeli flags from the U.S. motorcade while visiting eastern Jerusalem, conspicuously undermining U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as the undivided sovereign capital of Israel that U.S. Law and Pres. Trump recognized; (5) continued to insist on diplomacy with Iran while Iran is just weeks away from having enough highly enriched uranium for a nuclear bomb; (6) and insisted that Jews must not be allowed to build homes in Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem without U.S. approval; (7) outrageously and wrongly compared the Palestinian Arabs’ situation to being “fundamentally like” the Irish Catholic situation with Great Britain; (8) gave $200 million to UNRWA which hires Hamas terrorists, hides Hamas rockets in their schools, and teaches Arab children to hate and commit violence against Jews; (9) shamefully held a press conference and smilingly shook hands with terrorist dictator Abbas who pays Arabs to murder Jews, while making no demands of the Palestinian Arab regime! All this makes it clear that President Biden did not deserve being given one of Israel’s top awards by Israeli president Herzog.
On the bright side, Caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid disagreed that diplomacy with Iran would work and called for a credible military option to be on the table.
“Please, President Biden, Can I Build A New Room in My Home in Judea?”: During Biden and Lapid’s one-on-one meeting, Biden asked for, and Lapid shamefully agreed that, during Lapid’s months in office, Israel would have “no surprises” regarding construction of “settlements” (Jewish homes in lawful Jewish homelands), and that Lapid’s interim government would update the Biden administration prior to “settlement” activity. It looks like Jewish families living in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria will now need Biden’s permission before they can build a nursery room for their children. This makes Israel into a vassal of America – lower than, and without the respect accorded to a U.S. state. (U.S. states don’t need the federal government’s permission for their citizens to build homes in their states.) As one commenter put it, Israel is being treated like, and is acting like, a dhimmi. (A dhimmi was a non-Muslim subjected to numerous restrictions, including where and how he could live, in certain Muslim countries.)
