ZOA: Biden’s Ambassador to the UN Spoke "Shameful Antisemitic Lies" at UN Security Council

"Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:...

Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield’s repeated failure to veto anti-Israel UNSC resolutions since October 7th, and her ‘Remarks at a UN Security Council Briefing on the Situation in the Middle East‘ on June 26, 2024, were so full of anti-Israel, antisemitic lies and pronouncements that we now must add her to our ‘Biden Hostile-to-Israel Appointments Watch’ list...

The 300 shooting attacks by Arabs against Jews in 2023 were the most since the Second Intifada (the bloody Palestinian terror wave in 2000-2005). More than 50 of the 2023 shooting attacks emanated from the terrorist hotspot of Jenin, resulting in an IDF counterterror operation in Jenin. The enormous number of Arab terror attacks emanating from Judea/Samaria diverted IDF attention from the Gaza border..."
