Sharansky blasts Arab MK who snubbed American Jews

Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky blasted MK Ayman Odeh, head of the Arab Joint List, who last week refused to address a meeting of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, because it was held at premises shared by the Jewish Agency for Israel and other “Zionist entities”.

"It is unfortunate that members of Knesset from the Joint List are more interested in scoring cheap and expedient political points than they are in advancing the wellbeing of their communities,” Sharansky said in a statement on Friday.
