ADL prez blasts Dem 'Squad' for 'unconscionable' defunding of Israel's Iron Dome: 'Emboldens Hamas, Hezbollah'
Fox News
The president of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) blasted the members of the Democratic "Squad" for the defunding of Israel's Iron Dome defense system from the massive spending bill.
"The Iron Dome is a defensive system designed to protect civilians. Innocent people of all ethnicities & faiths -- Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze and others -- depend on the Iron Dome for protection when terror groups like Hamas + Hezbollah launch thousands of rockets at them," Greenblatt wrote on Wednesday. "It is a disgrace that the Squad succeeded. It emboldens Hamas & Hezbollah and others enemies of peace. To the MOCs who made the demands, look at the below. Every intercepted rocket was fired indiscriminately toward civilian centers with 1 goal: the brazen murder of innocents."
Greenblatt predicted the "shameful act" by the progressive lawmakers will "fuel further campaigns by anti-Zionist activists" as well as inflame anti-Semitic violence like what took place last spring amid the Israel-Gaza conflict.
