U.S. President Trump did the right thing last October when he signed the Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act (ATCA) into law. The law was sorely needed to help American victims of international terrorism.

Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton A. Klein released the following statement: ZOA praises CNN for announcing that “Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN,” the day after Hill made his propaganda-ridden, error-filled, unconscionable, vile public speech at the United Nations supporting violence against Israel and the destruction of the Jewish state.     However, ZOA is disappointed […]
