ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE   ZOA Condemns The Nation Magazine’s Lies in Anti-Israel Screed Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement: Last week, The Nation published a falsehood-filled article by Jew-hating, anti-Israel propagandist Saree Makdisi entitled, “Israel is Destroying the Fantasies of Liberal Zionism.” The article is unfortunately typical of the Left’s antisemitic anti-Israel screeds these days. Makdisi obviously opposes Israel’s very existence. His article repeatedly calls Israel “Palestine” and “the Zionist Project,” and calls the Israel Defense Forces an “occupation army.” It’s similar to how Hamas and its charter, Hezbollah, the Palestinian Authority, PLO and other terror groups that seek Israel’s destruction refer to Israel as “Palestine,” “the Zionist entity,” “the Zionist enemy,” and “the Zionist invader.” Makdisi also calls the Jewish people’s lawful right to their tiny, historic homeland “explicitly racist” and “apartheid.” (See ZOA Summary: “Israel has the Legal Right to the Land of Israel, including Jerusalem, Judea/Samaria & the Golan, Under Binding International Law.”) At the same time, Makdisi ignores the monstrous and real racism and apartheid of Palestinian Authority terrorist dictator Mahmoud Abbas, who declares that: “In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Israeli (Jew) - civilian or soldier - on our lands [a future Palestinian state].”     READ MORE     Share This Email   Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment. Today, ZOA is the leading major American Jewish organization courageously defending Israel and the Jewish people; fighting against all forms of antisemitism, including anti-Jewish boycotts; and promoting the Jewish people's lawful right to live in and settle historic Jewish lands. ZOA exposes that a Palestinian state would endanger Israel's existence; presents the facts about the Arab/Islamic war against Israel; and combats the anti-Israel lie that Israel is an "occupier" of her own land. ZOA spearheaded long battles to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and apply civil rights protections to Jewish students. ZOA provides free legal assistance and programs to pro-Israel students at numerous college campuses. ZOA's bold, unapologetic voice has a significant impact on public discourse and policy.
