News Press Release
September 8, 2020

Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton A. Klein and ZOA Chair Mark Levenson, Esq. released the following statement:

ZOA criticizes Douglas Emhoff, Kamala Harris’ Jewish husband, for remaining silent and not publicly objecting when Harris met with and wrongly praised the family led by antisemitic, anti-White, pro-Farrakhan, woman-hating James Blake, Sr. as an “incredible family” and urged Blake Sr. and his family “to continue to use their voice to end racism,” even though Blake, Sr. is an antisemitic racist. 

Douglas Emhoff, especially as a Jew, should have urged his wife to exclude Jew-hating, Farrakhan-loving Blake, Sr. from the meeting. Emhoff also should have urged Senator Harris not to effusively praise this antisemitic Blake, Sr.-led family, and should have expressed concern about his wife calling the family an “incredible family.” And how can Harris have asked the Blake, Sr. family to “continue to use their voice to end racism” when the head of the family is a despicable hater himself, promoting racism and antisemitism? Harris should have expressed sympathy without strongly praising this racist-led family. Douglas Emhoff’s silence was deafening. As a Jew, why isn’t he defending the Jewish people.
