ZOA's Mort Klein Calls for Tillerson to Resign

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is "incapable" of carrying out President Donald Trump's Mideast agenda and should resign, Zionist Organization of America president Mort Klein wrote.

ZOA has lost "confidence" in Tillerson after a State Department report issued in June "blames Israel for Palestinian Arab terrorism against innocent Israelis," Klein wrote.

Further, ZOA calls the report "anti-Semitic, Israel-bashing, falsehood-filled."

The State Department report would have Israel shoulder the blame for violence against it over the "lack of hope in achieving statehood" while "whitewashing" the Palestinian Authority (PA) by saying it "generally does not tolerate" violence against Israel, Klein writes.

"We need a State Department that honestly confronts the PA’s genocidal Islamist ideology and incitement. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is incapable of leading such an effort and must be replaced," Klein concluded.
