\u2018The Holocaust Memorial Museum \u2013 which by law is mandated to carry out \u2018support for the Jewish homeland\u2019 \u2013 should never have board members of anti-Israel organizations on the Museum\u2019s governing board.\u2019<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) and its National President, Morton Klein, called on the Biden administration to rescind the \u201cappointment<\/a>\u00a0to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Council (the governing board of trustees of the museum) of two board members of hostile-to-Israel non-governmental organizations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement released Tuesday, Klein, also speaking on behalf of the ZOA, called the appointments of Kimberly Emerson and Alan Solomont to the council \u201chorrific and frightening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He noted that \u201cCongress established the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to memorialize Holocaust victims and \u2018carry out the recommendations of the President\u2019s Commission on the Holocaust in its report to the President of September 27, 1979.’\u201d The report, in turn, had called for a focus of the museum to be \u201csupport for the Jewish homeland.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThus, the Holocaust Memorial Museum \u2013 which by law is mandated to carry out \u2018support for the Jewish homeland\u2019 \u2013 should never have board members of anti-Israel organizations on the Museum\u2019s governing board,\u201d Klein said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Emerson is on the board of Human Rights Watch (HRW), which \u201cis infamous for falsely accusing Israel of \u2018apartheid,\u2019 \u2018crimes against humanity,\u2019 \u2018persecuting\u2019 and \u2018systematic oppression\u2019 and \u2018inhumane acts\u2019 against Palestinians,\u201d according to Klein<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHRW calls for dismantling Jewish communities where 800,000 Jews live in the lawful Jewish homeland in Jerusalem and Judea\/Samaria; forcibly removing these Jews to the other side of the artificial 1948 ceasefire line; free movement of Arabs to and from Gaza; dismantling much of the security fence that protects Israelis from terror attacks; and a one-sided \u2018return\u2019 of Palestinian Arabs to overrun Israel,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solomont, on the other hand, was on the board of \u201cvicious hostile-to-Israel groups\u201d New Israel Fund (NIF)\u00a0 and Israel Policy Forum (IPF).<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Klein, NIF \u201cfunds numerous anti-Israel groups that promote antisemitic BDS, seek to bring Israeli soldiers before international tribunals, funded anti-Israeli government protests, and more.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

IPF, he said, \u201d is so radical that it was the only group to testify against moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSolomont is currently the National Board Chair of the notorious anti-Israel group J Street, which promotes anti-Israel UN resolutions; funds anti-Israel political candidates and lobbies for U.S. funding for the Palestinians \u2013 which enables the Palestinian Authority\u2019s \u2018pay to slay\u2019 payments to Arab terrorists to murder Jews, among many other horrors,\u201d Klein added.<\/span><\/p>\n
