Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:
The policies and statements made by President Joe Biden last week during meetings with Israeli and Palestinian Arab leaders, including terrorist dictator Mahmoud Abbas, make it clear that Biden is becoming one of the most hostile presidents to Israel ever. Moreover, it’s becoming clearer that Biden is being greatly influenced by former President Barack Obama, as these policies are similar to Obama’s anti-Israel policies and virtually all of Biden’s hostile-to-Israel appointments were closely associated with Obama. One might argue that this is really Obama’s third term.
After President Biden undeservedly received Israel’s highest award last week, he spent the next several days making statements and announcing policies hostile to Israel. Then, Biden met with and held a smiling joint press conference with Palestinian Authority/PLO terrorist dictator Mahmoud Abbas, legitimizing and mainstreaming him, despite the fact that Abbas continues to pay Arabs $400 million per year in lifetime pensions (at five times the rate of an average Palestinian worker) to murder Jews and Americans. And during Biden’s visit, Abbas announced an increase in the monthly payments to Jew-killers. During the Biden-Abbas meeting and joint press conference, Biden called for a Palestinian State (creating a Palestinian Arab terrorist dictatorship state on Israel’s land) “on the 1967 lines with land swaps mutually agreed to by the Israelis and Palestinians” dividing Jerusalem in half and ending Israel’s contiguity. (See: White House readout on July 15, 2022 Biden-Abbas meeting, and White House official transcript of July 15, 2022 Biden-Abbas joint press conference).
Furthermore Biden: (1) increased his administration’s funding of Palestinian Arabs to over $1.5 billion (thereby freeing up Palestinian Authority funds for paying Arab terrorists to murder Jews and Americans); (2) kept pushing to re-open a Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem; (3) falsely compared Palestinian Arabs’ situation to Ireland’s situation with Great Britain; 4) promoted and pressured Israel to provide “increased access” for Palestinian Arabs to enter Israel – shortly after such access resulted in Palestinian Arabs murdering 19 Jews and others; (5) called ordinary Israeli checkpoints, which are necessary for security, “indignities” against Palestinians and otherwise portrayed the terrorists as victims; (6) ignores sanctions on Iran and promotes ending sanctions; (7) encouraged Palestinians to emulate anti-Israel Al Jazeera propagandist Shireen Abu Akleh, falsely claiming that she was telling the “truth”; (7) undermined Israel security and sovereignty by calling for the Palestinian Authority to share control of the Israel-Jordanian crossings; and more. (See also: “ZOA Urges Lapid and Herzog: Cancel Giving Undeserving Pres. Biden Major Israeli Award,” July 11, 2022, for even more.)
Biden Called for Israel to be Reduced to Auschwitz Borders: Biden’s call for a Palestinian Arab terror state “on the 1967 lines with land swaps mutually agreed to by the Israelis and Palestinians” is an extreme, unlawful, anti-Israel position. Biden is thus calling for creating a Palestinian Arab terror state that divides Israel’s capital Jerusalem, and rips away from the Jewish people and gives to Arab terrorists the portions of Jerusalem where the Jewish people’s holiest sites are located, plus the historic Jewish homelands of Judea and Samaria.
