The Zionist Organization of America, which works to strengthen U.S.-Israel relations and combat anti-Israel bias, announced last Friday that it will award the "rarely given" Theodor Herzl Medallion to former President Donald Trump.
In an email sent to its members, the ZOA said it was honoring the former president "for being the best friend Israel ever had in the White House."
Dr. Miriam Adelson, physician and billionaire, will present Trump's award on Nov. 13 at the Zionist Organization's national awards dinner in New York City. Adelson will also honor House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., with ZOA's Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Defender of Israel Award.
In the email to its members, the ZOA listed among the former president's accomplishments:
In January 2019, the U.S. Department of Education described Trump's executive order as strongly reaffirming the statutory anti-discrimination protections of Title VI, which prohibit race, color, and national origin discrimination in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.
The Department of Education recognized from the order that the executive branch would "enforce Title VI against prohibited forms of discrimination rooted in anti-Semitism as vigorously as against all other forms of discrimination prohibited by Title VI."

A Pew Research Center survey conducted in the spring of 2019 on 33 countries found that Israel was the only nation where a majority of people (55%) approved of Trump's policies. In Israel, 71% expressed confidence in the U.S. president's "world leadership."
And most Jews in the US consider Trump as Hitler, Republicans as Nazis and support “education camps”.
he did what no other president would do...move the embassy to Jerusalem.
Suspect there is a strong correlation of how much they respect God and whether they have taken pains to return to the Holy Land.
Spent many years in the ME but never visited Israel...big regret.

Keep in mind 25% of Israel is not Jewish (mainly Arab).
And we are similarly eaten up by Deep State Leftists like the USA.
Most Orthodox Jews absolutely love him. The assimilationists and secularists, well...somebody has to be stupid to debunk the stereotype.
Not long ago I was speaking with an Israeli woman at our pool. She told me Trump is extremely popular in Israel.
And with American Jews who love or at least like Israel. The ones who think of him as Hitler 2.0 also hate Israel.
Just had coffee with an old friend...he switched to the Republicans. He said pressure keeps many from leaving the RATs.
