The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has questioned the positions taken by AIPAC CEO, Howard Kohr, in opposing any American Jewish criticism of President Obama or anyone in his Administration for the deal signed with Iran in Geneva and stating that the Obama Administration only has a “difference of strategy” with Israel and American Jewry on how to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. We are also troubled that Mr. Kohr declared that the only path that should be taken now is more sanctions, refusing to accept a questioner’s statement that military action must now be seriously considered. Mr. Kohr took these positions in a meeting of AIPAC leaders and activists last week.

In honor of the UN’s International Day for People with Disabilities, we bring you the moving story of Captain Yehonatan Cohen – an IDF officer who dutifully serves his country despite being physically disabled since birth.
