Quote: “It is an honor to be entrusted with the position of ZOA-Pittsburgh president to help lead the efforts to enlighten our community. I plan to focus on clearing up/correcting unsubstantiated and unconscionable anti-Jewish positions and attacks, such as misplaced support for boycotts, divestment and sanctions, mistaken assumptions by Hamas apologists, misguided acts of anti-Semitism (and) misunderstood dangers to Western Democracy caused by the evils of anti-U.S./anti-Israel terrorism.”
