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].”
