By the Way, Who Gets Haniyeh’s $4 Billion?

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

As Jews, we pray for peace in Israel every day. But unfortunately, Israel lives in a neighborhood surrounded by Iranian mullahs and proxies bent on annihilating Israel and America. The recent targeted killings of mass murderers are radical Muslims Ismail Haniyeh and Fuad Shukr a.k.a al-Hajj Mohsin was not the impediment to peace, as Al Jazeera, Türkiye’s ruling party, and other antisemitic Israel-haters are claiming. And it is certainly nothing to mourn about, as CAIR (the Hamas-allied Council on American Islamic Relations) California leader Zahra Billoo did. Rather, killing evil Hamas and Hezbollah butchers who were central to perpetrating major terror attacks leaves the world a little safer, and sends a message to anyone contemplating similar mass murders of Israelis to think twice.

Fuad Shukr’s responsibility for American and Israeli massacres: Hezbollah senior commander Shukr was responsible for the despicable 1983 bombing attack on the U.S. marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon which killed 241 US marines; and the horrific rocket attack on July 27 – which murdered a dozen innocent Israeli Druze children and wounded many more children playing on a soccer field in Majdal Shams, in Israel’s Golan Heights. Mass radical Muslim murderer Shukr’s deadly attacks are the impediment to peace – not the assassination that brought Shukr to justice.

Haniyeh’s responsibility for massacres: Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh played a key role in enabling numerous Hamas attacks on innocent Israelis, including Hamas’ October 7 massacre. Haniyeh then sat in luxury in Qatar, celebrating with “prostrations of gratitude” while watching videos of the October 7 atrocities, and broadcasted on Al Jazeera calls for “West Bank” Palestinian Arabs, Israeli Arabs throughout Israel and all the Arab nations to join in the slaughter of the Jewish people.
