US antisemitism envoy tells 'Post' people should understand Zionism, ‘not be ignorant about it’
Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun's comments follow a UK Green Party conference on Sunday, where the party declared Zionism to be a form of racism.
Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, the US Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, recently expressed the importance of understanding Zionism within the context of Jewish history rather than equating it with racism. During a briefing at the State Department's Washington Foreign Press Center, Kaploun emphasized that over 250,000 visas had been revoked during the current administration.
He addressed concerns about the misuse of the term "genocide" against Israel and explained that a two-state solution could not progress while one side sought to eradicate the other. Kaploun stressed the necessity for people to grasp the historical meaning of Zionism and not to be ignorant about it.
