Herbert Zweibon

Herbert Zweibon is the chairman of Americans for a Safe Israel (AFSI) and is affiliated with several Zionist organizations. AFSI is an extreme Zionist organization; they often sponsor groups visiting the most violent and contentious places in the West Bank. In their recent report about their trip to Israel they wrote:
 * "The Jews of Israel have an additional, immediate enemy. They are battling the Sharon government. They face intimidation, administrative detention and arrest by the Israeli police."

Hence, this group is to the right of the current Sharon government.

On August 11, 2004, Zweibon addressed a crowd at a memorial meeting for Ze'ev Jabotinsky -- an extreme Zionist fascist (NB: this has been documented by Lenni Brenner in Zionism in an Age of Dictators).

Zweibon also works with Christian fundamentalist zionists:
 * Herbert Zweibon, AFSI's Chairman, believes that Evangelical Christians might turn the tide in the upcoming election. He has therefore enlisted the assistance of Kim Johnson, director of Global Israel Alliance/GIA to spearhead the AFSI/GIA effort to get Christians to vote on whether or not they support the establishment of a PLO state in the land of Israel. The GIA website, www.globalisraelalliance.com, the AFSI website, www.afsi.org, as well as the websites of various Bible-believing organizations throughout America, carry the referendum ballot. The campaign will conclude at the end of September, 2004.

Herbert Zweibon should not be confused with the child of a Kenyan pastor who was also given the same name.
