In the face of far-left, Arab and Muslim opposition, the New York Mets organization has decided to honor its commitment to rent its Caesar's Club for a fundraiser benefiting the Jewish community of Hevron.

Shortly after the venue for the Hebron Fund dinner in support of the Jews of Hevron was publicized, eleven organizations sent a letter to the Mets management calling upon them to disallow the event at Citi Field. Signatories included organizations from Israel, the US and the Palestinian Authority, some of which oppose Israeli sovereignty altogether and others which oppose any Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria.

Despite their own opposition to a minority of Jews living among the Arabs of Hevron, in their November 3 letter the organizations attempted to present the planned fundraiser as "actively promot[in racial discrimination". They further presented the argument that the "New York Mets will be facilitating activities that directly violate international law and the Obama administration's call for a freeze in settlement construction...." The warning that the fundraiser would run counter to the US president's stated policy position was repeated throughout the letter.

From a NY yankees fan, I salute the NY mets. It wasn't just a home run, it was a grand slam.

My son is a huge fan of the Mets and I intend to express my appreciation to the Mets organization for their courageous stand against tyranny by buying tickets to at least one regular season game. That will be a triple win for me, my son, and the Mets. Arab tyrants and their leftist enablers can go to h*ll.
