The president of the Zionist Organization of America got into a shouting match with the Palestinian Authority’s chief representative to the United States after a Senate subcommittee hearing on Palestinian terrorism. Morton Klein accosted Hassan Abdel Rahman after he finished testifying before the committee and demanded that he condemn incitement and anti-Semitism in the Palestinian media. Rahman called Klein’s charges “lies” and after Klein blocked Rahman’s path to the door, the PLO representative demanded to be “treated with respect.”
