The UN #DurbanIV conference is a cesspool of discriminatory, anti-Israel propaganda.

“Zionism=Racism" is a vicious slander against the Jewish state and its supporters.

America and many allies stand proudly with Israel in boycotting this despicable conference.
Thank you @POTUS and @SecBlinken @StateDept for refusing to participate in the anti-Israel #DurbanIV conference.

Why are those in Congress who claim to support Palestinian rights silent when the Palestinian Authority denies Palestinians’ rights?

Do they only speak out if they can blame Israel?

90,000 Palestinians should have received their first COVID vaccine last weekend, but the Palestinian Authority rejected the vaccines from Israel.

The Health Minister said they could vaccinate 60,000 per day.

These anti-Israel policies hurt Palestinians.
