The Zionist Organization of America has high praise for NJ Senator Bob Menendez’ recent speech on Israel. But note how they take it a touch farther than the senator surely intended:

ZOA National President Morton A. Klein, National Chairman of the Board Dr. Michael Goldblatt & Executive Director Gary Ratner said, “We applaud Senator Menendez for making an eloquent speech, based on moral clarity and historical accuracy, that rebuts so many of the hostile presumptions about Israel and Zionism that emerge frequently in public discourse and in the universities.

“ZOA had reason to note that President Barak Obama, in his recent Cairo speech, worryingly echoed some of the fallacies that Senator Menendez has rebutted, in particular, the idea that Israel is some sort of recompense for the Holocaust, paid for by innocent Arabs, thus implying that Jews had no other legitimate claim to independence in the land of Israel.

 ”We would note further that, inasmuch as the Palestinian leadership of the day under Haj Amin el Husseini actively collaborated with Nazism, helped form Bosnian Muslim SS units, assisted deportation to the death camps of Jews and otherwise did their best to prevent Jews escaping the Holocaust, that Palestinian Arabs are in fact implicated in the horrors of Nazism.” [Emphasis added.]
