That does not seem like a very legitimate way for a group to act, in fact most groups that advocate breaking laws are considered subversive. The ZOA in its childish rant against President Obama left out one crucial fact. Israel’s “annexation” of East Jerusalem is illegal, it always has been, and it will always be so. President Barack Obama is on firm legal ground and Israel hasn’t got a leg to stand on. The ZOA is clearly advocating that Israel break the law.
