ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE   ZOA Calls Abe Foxman Attack Dog of the Thought Police - Only Supports Israel if Israel’s Policy Agrees with Him   Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein and ZOA Director of Research & Special Projects Liz Berney, Esq. released the following statement: ADL (Anti-Defamation League) National Director Emeritus Abe Foxman has revealed that he is the “attack dog of the thought police” by demanding that Israel will not have his “love” and support unless Israel’s new democratically-elected government adopts Foxman’s left wing prescriptions. ZOA deplores Foxman’s recent statement. Foxman absurdly claimed that his views constitute democracy – rather than the voices of Israel’s democratic electorate, including the well over half-a-million Israelis who voted for the Religious Zionist party. Apparently, as one commentator put it, according to Foxman, “it’s only democracy when the Left wins.” It is also appalling that Foxman now states that his love and support for Israel is “conditional” on Israel adopting Foxman’s (undemocratic and unelected) version of “democracy.” Conditional love is not real love. Foxman’s comments are especially repugnant at a time when the Israeli people need and voted for a stable, strong government to appropriately deal with multiple serious problems, including defending against massive Palestinian Arab terrorism; dealing with tens of thousands of EU-funded illegal Arab buildings on state lands; reversing Lapid’s illegal surrender of Israel’s maritime border and gas field to Hezbollah- and Iranian-controlled Lebanon; and counteracting the Iranian nuclear threat. Foxman’s recent statement also stresses that his and similar American Jewish leaders’ support is “critical” to Israel But, in fact, Foxman has an unfortunate record of advocating for policies that weaken and endanger Israel. Israel is better off without much of Foxman’s brand of “support.”   Read More   Share This Email Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment.
