More about this controversy with Morton Klein. Morton is the president of the Zionist Organization of America. Morton, good to have you on the show with us tonight. I want to start off, good to have you with us. I want to start off with your thoughts on the comment that the president initially made that generated all this recent controversy. Let's watch. Where is the Democratic Party gone? Where have they gone? Where they're defending these two people over the state of Israel? And I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty. Some more to know. How do you interpret that comment? Look, it is crystal clear that response to a question as to whether he's supposed to what it has to say about the anti-Semitic congressman Clay Beno Mor. demanding that all laid be cut to Israel. He said these people hate Israel and Jews and any Jewish person who supports them is either ignorant or is disloyal to the Jews in Israel. It is crystal clear that's what he meant. That disloyalty to the Jews in Israel, I find it in abomination. That ADL has publicly put out a fundraising letter claiming that the President Trump has called accused Jews of being dual loyalists, not being loyal to America. When of course he clearly was talking about that Jews in his opinion who support these terrible anti-Semites are disloyal to Jews and to the Jewish state. It's crystal clear. All right, that's clearly your position on that. Now, as we know more than the President was criticizing the anti-Israel congresswoman Omar Antleybe, what do you make of the lack of condemnation for Democrats for the way that these congresswoman attacked Israel recently in their press conference? I mean, congresswoman granted our entitled to criticize the Israeli government, but they made statements riddled with gross inaccuracies and that's putting it mildly. I mean, they said there's a Muslim ban in Israel. They said that Israel must end the occupation of Palestine and they also equated Israel with apartheid South Africa and we're not hearing any condemnation there. What do you make of that? It is really, as an American citizen, so distressing that when you have these two anti-Semites, these Israel-of-phobes who hate Israel, say to Israel is not a democracy, is not an ally, compare it to Israel not only to South Africa, but to Nazi Germany, cause them an evil state as well as a apartheid state. These women meet with Hasbala supporters and take pictures with them, smiling with them, and I'm just devastated to see that the leadership of the Democratic Party, Pelosi and Steny Hoyer and the rest not only are not condemning these terrible anti-Semites, they're defending them. They're actually saying these people are not anti-Semitic. It's amazing. These people call any, with any hint of insensitivity to a black person or a Hispanic, they call them a racist in one minute and hear these women or overtly attacking Jews in the Jewish state with horrible lies, and we don't hear a peep condemning them from the leadership of the Democratic Party. It is really shocking to me and frightening to me. Frankly, as an American citizen, I don't know what's going on with the Democratic Party. Morton, I want to focus on some of those comments that they made. I want to drill down if we focus on what they said. There's a lot of outrage at the terminology used by them. They repeatedly said that Israel must end the occupation of Palestine, that Israelis are in Palestinian land. They didn't say disputed territories, they didn't say disputed occupied territories. They said, they said, end the occupation, explain why that is so problematic. Well, first of all, it's amazing. Omar, who's from Somalia, doesn't condemn the horrible conditions in Somalia or the Harabianist in Sudan or in Syria, only focusing on the Jewish state. Now, this issue of occupation, in 1948, this was land legally controlled by England. England took this portion of Palestine, which was a region that was never a country or a state, split in the half, said, have to go to the Arabs, have to the Jews for two states. The Arabs, when the Arabs turned it down, suddenly at that point they said, no, it's not their land anymore. Jordan then captured it during the 48 war, a war in an intention whose intent was to destroy the fledgling Jewish state of Israel. From 48 to 67, Jordan illegally occupied it. The UN never recognized it. So first of all, it is not Arab land. And it's an interesting, if it's Arab land, why is it called Palestine? It's a Roman Greek name. It's a Roman Greek name. But about the occupation, Israel is given away all of Gaza, 40% of Judeans summary of the West Bank. That's where 99% of the Arabs live under their own control, their own rule, their own parliament, their own TV, their own media, their own schools, their own police force. They run their own lives except for security. So this is one of the great or well-earned lies that there is an occupation. When occupation means you stole someone else's sovereign land, it was not the Arab sovereign land. And you rule over them when the fact they rule over them stays. The very least there are dual claims to the land. At the very least there are dual claims to the land. Very quickly, Morton, you concerned that this is a whole thing is making Israel a partisan issue in the 30 seconds we have left. Making it, what, I didn't hear that. Are you concerned that Israel is becoming more and more of a partisan issue in American politics? It's only to the extent that more and more Democrats are becoming more hostile to Israel and they're not attacking the anti-Semites. The way the Republican Party has attacked the bigots in their party. So yes, I am not worried, I'm worried that we're not having the strong support in the Democratic Party for Israel that used to be there five years and ten years ago. And this is a great concern. I know there are many Democrats who are very supportive of Israel, but they become frightened to be overtly supportive of Israel because of this far move to the left by these people.
