OP-ED BY: Steve Feldman, ZOA Philadelphia Executive DIrector ZOA Phila. Director Op-Ed: Temple’s Antisemitic, Israel-Hating Marc Lamont Hill Must be Fired

He has falsely accused the Jewish state of poisoning the Palestinian-Arab water supply, practicing “apartheid” and training New York City police to kill black Americans — rhetoric that is bound to sow resentment against Jews and potentially incite violence. “When we struggle together we too often adopt a civil rights tradition which romanticizes nonviolence.… And […]

OP-ED BY: Morton A. Klein, ZOA National President Jewish Press | ZOA’s Klein Op-Ed – Rep. Tlaib’s Vicious Anti-Semitism

That didn’t take long. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), newly elected to the U.S. Congress, has already posted a “correction” to the world map in her congressional office, marking Israel as “Palestine.” She has thus effectively indicated her support for the Palestinian Arab objective of eliminating the Jewish state of Israel on her first day in office. […]

OP-ED BY: Morton A. Klein, ZOA President & Mark Levenson, Esq., ZOA Chair Jerusalem Post- Despite Demand to Tone Down, ZOA Remains Zealous Advocate for Jews/Israel

We are living in a time of increasingly unbridled antisemitism and Israel-hatred. Jewish lives are at risk. An onslaught of pro-BDS activity plagues our campuses and country. ZOA receives calls every week from Jewish students who have been physically and/or verbally attacked. Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) rallies call for throwing Jews off their […]

OP-ED BY: Morton A. Klein, National President, Zionist Organization of America ZOA’s Klein LA Jewish Journal Letter: Danger- Anti-Semitism Becoming Mainstreamed

Amanda Berman provides a timely warning from Britain and its experience of Jeremy Corbyn and rising anti-Semitism on the left as to what could happen here (“A Message to My Compatriots in the American Left From Across the Pond,” Nov. 5). Fighting the normalization of anti-Semitism is the enormous challenge that American Jews have before […]

OP-ED BY: Morton Klein, ZOA National President, and Elizabeth Berney, ZOA director of Special Projects ZOA JNS Op-Ed: Texas’s Anti-BDS Law is Legal & Is Not Free Speech Issue

With the help of an anti-Israel legal group, an admitted boycotter of Israel named Bahia Amawi sued a Texas school district and the Texas attorney general this week to try to overturn the state’s excellent anti-BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) contracting law (Texas Gov. Code § 2270.001, et. seq.). Briefly, Ms. Amawi wants a renewed contract to provide speech-pathology […]

OP-ED BY: Susan B. Tuchman, Esq. and Morton A. Klein State Dep’t Sells Out Terror Victims – ZOA Op-ed in JNS

U.S. President Trump did the right thing last October when he signed the Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act (ATCA) into law. The law was sorely needed to help American victims of international terrorism. It closed loopholes in an earlier law—the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1992, which afforded a civil remedy to American victims against their terrorist attackers overseas. Loopholes […]

OP-ED BY: Morton A. Klein ZOA’s Klein Phila Inq. Article Demands Firing of Temple Prof. Hill Due to Antisemitism

Temple University board of trustees leaders Patrick O’Connor and Mitchell Morgan and president Richard Englert have a choice to make about Marc Lamont Hill, the Steven Charles Professor of media who recently called for violence against Israel and for its destruction during a speech at the United Nations. If Temple condemns Hill, removes his academic […]

OP-ED BY: Morton A. Klein ZOA’s Klein Breitbart Article: Danger – Antisemitism is Becoming Normalized

Today, antisemitism is appearing in the mainstream in ways that, only a few years ago, would have seemed impossible or at least highly unlikely. The organizers of last year’s Women’s March are happy to be led by Israel-hating extremists who openly seek to ostracize pro-Israeli feminists. Companies seek to boycott Israeli Jews, and only Israel […]

OP-ED BY: Bart Blatstein Phila. Inquirer: Temple Prof. Marc Hill Promotes Violence Against Jews: Fire Him Says Major Real Estate Developer Bart Blatstein

Especially after the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre of 11 Jewish worshippers, universities must refuse to employ professors who call for anti-Semitic violence and destruction of the Jewish State of Israel. It is outrageous that Marc Lamont Hill is still employed as the Steven Charles professor at Temple University, after Hill showed himself to be an Israel-hating […]

OP-ED BY: Morton A. Klein and Susan B. Tuchman, Esq. ZOA Op-Ed: Jewish Leaders Must Urge Students: Use Title VI to Fight Anti-Semitism

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) recently reopened the civil rights case that the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) filed against Rutgers University. The student-backed case followed from the university’s failure to address the harassment and discrimination that Jewish students endured, in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, […]
