The Zionist Organization of America issued a harshly worded condemnation of the kidnapping of the three Israeli teens Eyal Yifrach, Gil-Ad Shaer and Naftali Frenkel, and slammed the US’ policy as “nothing less than a diplomatic Kristallnacht.

In the statement, the group described Hamas, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said is responsible for the kidnapping, as “Nazi-like”.

The organization then took aim at the Obama administration, which has been in tension with the Israeli government over the latter’s demand for a boycott of any Palestinian government that includes Hamas -

"The ZOA also renews its criticism of the Obama Administration for not cutting aid to and ending diplomatic relations with the PA for forming this alliance with Hamas. It is nothing less than a diplomatic Kristallnacht that the Obama Administration has embraced the Hamas/Fatah terrorist alliance and publicly announced that they will continue funding the PA to the tune of some $500 million annually."

"The ZOA sees the kidnapping by the Nazi-like Hamas, the US- and European Union-listed terrorist, as underscoring the anti-peace nature of the PA, which recently formed a new unity regime with Hamas." YnetNews
