OP-ED BY: Morton A. Klein and Daniel Mandel Op-Ed: Move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, and Do it Soon

OP-ED BY: Morton A. Klein and Elizabeth Berney, Esq. ZOA Op-Ed in FORWARD: ZOA Supporting Trump Refugee Ban is Moral Imperative

The left’s confusion about what constitutes “morality” compels us to respond to Forward editor Jane Eisner’s criticism of Zionist Organization of America because ZOA supports President Trump’s executive order titled “Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States.” Most Americans, according to a recent Rasmussen poll, agree with ZOA: Americans overwhelmingly favor Trump’s […]

OP-ED BY: Caroline B. Glick, The Jerusalem Post Our World: Netanyahu, Congress, AIPAC and the PLO

It is not in the least surprising that the PLO-controlled Palestinian Authority did not condemn the terrorist attack on Sunday. It is not surprising because the PLO-controlled PA encouraged the attack.

OP-ED Kerry’s Anti Israel Speech Wrongly Focuses on Israel Not Palestinian Intransigence

Kerry’s anti Israel speech wrongly focuses on Israel, not Palestinian Intransigence.  In his speech, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry spewed anti-Semitic, anti-Israel vitriol, lies, and policies that endanger innocent Israeli lives.  Kerry proposed creating a Hamas-Fatah-Palestinian-Arab state, which will be a terrorist state,  in the Jewish heartland that divides Jerusalem in two, would forcibly […]

OP-ED BY: Ben Chouake, MD (Dr. Ben) VP, ZOA Op-Ed: Keith Ellison and the DNC: A Troubling Pick for America’s Oldest Political Party

OP-ED BY: Morton A. Klein ZOA Criticizes ADL Praising Anti-Semitic Ellison, DNC Chair Contender – While Falsely Condemning Trump Aide Bannon of Anti-Semitism

  ZOA Strongly criticizes ADL for praising the anti-Semitic Cong. Keith Ellison, a leading candidate for the Democratic National Committee Chair – despite the volumes of evidence about Ellison’s longstanding record of Israel-bashing and anti-Semitism.

OP-ED BY: Susan B. Tuchman, Esq. and Morton A. Klein ZOA Op-Ed: A Troubling Silence about Anti-Semitism at the University of Michigan

For many Jewish students at the University of Michigan, their celebration of the Jewish New Year was unjustly marred by feelings of pain and ostracism.  On Rosh Hashanah, a campus group called “Students Allied for Freedom and Equality” (SAFE) erected a so-called “apartheid” wall and mock Israeli checkpoints on the Diag, in the center of […]
