(Newsmax) Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro must rescind a $5 million grant awarded in March to the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society in Philadelphia, Morton Klein, national president of the Zionist Organization of America, tells Newsmax.
“I’m urging the people of Pennsylvania to write to him and speak out,” Klein said Monday on Newsmax’s “The Chris Salcedo Show.” “Stop giving money to a mosque that promotes hatred of American Jews and Israel.”
Shapiro, who is Jewish, announced the grant while attending an iftar dinner, as people gathered to break their Ramadan fast. The money is targeted for the mosque’s community center and is reportedly the largest grant awarded to a Muslim organization.
