Ameinu Condemns ZOA Decision to Honor Former President Trump |
Ameinu condemns the recent decision by the ZOA to present its Theodor Herzl Medallion to former President Trump at its Justice Louis D. Brandeis Award Dinner. Honoring this man besmirches the memory of both Herzl and Justice Brandeis, while also disgracing the entire Zionist movement. Ameinu, as heirs to the tradition of Labor Zionism, is certain that Israel's first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, a recipient of this once-prestigious award, would be as disgusted as we are by this misguided and myopic selection.
In light of Trump's unprecedented attack on and continued threat to American democracy, as well as his recent antisemitic post, Ameinu calls upon the ZOA to reconsider its decision to honor the former President. |
