Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:
The Zionist Organization of America congratulates Israeli Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu, his Likud party and his coalition partners on Netanyahu’s announcement yesterday that he will be able to form a coalition government. In these times, when Israeli citizens are being subjected to seven terror attacks perpetrated by Palestinian Arab terrorists every day, it is vital that Israel have a strong government such as the incoming coalition, which is dedicated to protecting Israel’s rights and safety.
There is nothing “extreme” about proposing to give needed tools to Israel’s brave young IDF soldiers to enable them to protect their fellow Israeli citizens from rampant Palestinian Arab terror. The constant attacks on innocent Jews need to be stopped.
There is similarly nothing “extreme” about proposing to deport convicted Palestinian Arab terrorists.
The real extremists are the leaders of the Palestinian Authority – who incite and pay Arabs to murder innocent Jews. Yet, those (such as URJ’s Rick Jacobs and the New York Times) who falsely scream about an “extremist” Israeli government say nothing about Mahmoud Abbas’ heinous incitement and “pay to slay” payments.
There is nothing “extreme” about proposing to give Jews and other non-Muslims equal rights to pray on the Jewish people’s holiest site – the Temple Mount. In fact, it is religious discrimination to allow only Muslims to freely pray on the Temple Mount. King Solomon built the Temple as a place where all people can pray! (See“ZOA: Facts About the Temple Mount (Har HaBayit) Summary.”)
