Zionist Group Criticizes Biden’s Support for Two-state Solution

In a rebuke, Morton Klein, the head of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), lambasted the Biden administration’s persistent push for the establishment of a Palestinian state, likening it to a “major terrorist state” and drawing parallels to the Nazi “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” of World War II, reported Breitbart.

“The Palestinian State Solution could be the Final Solution,” warned Klein, referencing the Nazis’ systematic genocide against Jews during the Holocaust. Klein emphasized the potential peril of granting a larger state to the Palestinians, led by Mahmoud Abbas, a dictator associated with the controversial “pay to slay” initiative, under which Palestinians and Israeli Arabs who are convicted of terrorism, as well as the families of “martyrs,” are entitled to monthly stipends.

Klein asserted that Israelis, akin to Americans, would vehemently oppose the presence of a jihadist state on their borders.

Expressing concern over recent reports on the Biden administration’s unwavering commitment to recognizing Palestinian statehood, Klein denounced it as an aftermath of the conflict initiated by the U.S.-designated Islamic terror group Hamas. The group, openly advocating for the murder of Jews and the elimination of the Jewish state, has governed the Gaza Strip for over 17 years.

Highlighting Israel’s disengagement from Gaza in 2005, wherein existing settlements were razed, Klein argued that the move inadvertently empowered groups like Hamas, leading to persistent attacks on Israel. He criticized the Palestinian Authority’s support for terror activities, anti-Israel sentiments in media and education, and financial support for families of deceased Hamas terrorists.

Klein, the head of the nation’s oldest pro-Israel organization for over three decades, contended that rewarding Palestinian terrorists with a state on Israel’s longest border would not only endorse past terrorist actions but also endanger Israel’s very existence. He questioned whether Americans would likewise support a similar situation on the U.S. northern or southern border.

Never! He answered.

Klein underscored previous criticisms of former President Barack Obama, whom he described as a “monstrous and dangerous Jew-hater and Israel-hater who must be condemned, delegitimized, and removed from polite society,” while accusing him of legitimizing Hamas’s actions. Klein’s recent comments align with the broader debate on the two-state solution, with President Biden advocating for it despite the recent October 7 massacre perpetrated by Hamas.

The October 7 attack, the deadliest against Jewish people since the Holocaust, resulted in widespread condemnation. Despite this, Secretary of State Antony Blinken reportedly considered unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state a departure from past U.S. policy and Israel’s stance.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel under Donald Trump, David Friedman, warned against such recognition, equating it to an attack on Israel greater than that of October 7.

“Unconscionable!” he said.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and Dutch politician Geert Wilders also raised concerns about the viability of a Palestinian state, suggesting alternative solutions, such as relocation to Jordan.

Former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson previously proposed the establishment of a Palestinian state in Egypt as a measure to mitigate potential threats to Israel.

However, steadfast Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged that during his tenure, he will not permit the establishment of a Palestinian state.
