The “New York Times” and other media outlets must change their culture of intolerance and hostility for views that do not fit their desired narrative.
The executive order will now federally serve to protect Jewish students on university campuses—an effort the Zionist Organization of America has long championed.
At the Israel celebration, the president of Students for Justice in Palestine at New York University said, “We’re not going to let them stand by and support Zionism. Our point is to make being Zionist uncomfortable on the NYU campus.”
If the P.A. is truly committed to achieving peace, then it will agree to be held to account for any terrorist crimes committed against an American citizen for which the P.A. was allegedly responsible.

In a letter to Superintendent Kathy Rehfield-Pelles, the ZOA pointed out a violation of a New York City school regulation issued that prohibits school facilities, equipment and supplies from being used for partisan politics of any sort.
