"The Armenian lobby organization in the United States, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA), stated in its tweet that the policy of the Government of Israel under Benjamin Netanyahu stands, in its words, in contradiction to 'Jewish traditions, spiritual and secular,’” a source in Shas, a religious political party in Israel, told the website of the Israeli media group Israel National News–Arutz Sheva.

"Criticism of Israel in the name of Jewish values creates a reality in which Jewish communities around the world pay the price for conflicts that are not related to them. It is time to stop turning Israel into a constant target for attacks in international arenas, especially when they are wrapped in religious language," the source added.

"ANCA’s attack follows a legislative initiative advancing in the US Congress, bill H.R. 6534, led by Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, which seeks to remove restrictions previously set under Section 907 of the US aid law... Due to the longtime close security ties between Israel and Azerbaijan, Israel is also being incorporated into the campaign conducted by the ANCA. Luna, a Christian, is known as an enthusiastic supporter of Israel. In responses, ANCA supporters accuse her of being a Zionist Jew who wants the genocide of the Armenian nation, just like Israel has done in Gaza," Israel National News–Arutz Sheva wrote.
