The Zionist Organization of America stated on Tuesday that the New Supreme Court dismissed a case, which the ZOA called “meritless,” that two former board members brought against Morton Klein, the ZOA national president, and four board members at the pro-Israel nonprofit.

“The court dismissed the case because, among other things, the court noted that there were fatal ‘gaping holes in the plaintiffs’ case,” the ZOA stated.

The nonprofit added that the judge “wisely advised the two former board member-plaintiffs not to engage in costly internecine warfare against a ‘do-good’ organization such as ZOA, which is combating antisemitism.”

“I know that the only way that I can have some measure of success is with God’s blessing, providence, direction and wisdom,” the rabbi, of Suburban Orthodox Congregation in Baltimore, told JNS.
The Jewish, Italian, Irish and British “pioneers and people who built this city” want Bible-based American values, the Israeli consul general in New York told JNS. “They don’t want the Sharia laws.”
“We were extremely proud to see this work come to fruition,” Shay Salamon, executive director of Latin American affairs at Combat Antisemitism Movement, told JNS.
The Irgun vessel will serve as a “tangible symbol” of the imperative to never descend into civil war, the Israeli premier said.
