A few days before we heard the horrible news of the three boys who got kidnapped in Israel, Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) leader Mort Klein visited the Jewish Journal offices to speak to our editorial staff. He said a lot of things over the course of a lively one-hour session, but one thing in […]
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Despite the Metropolitan Opera’s decision to cancel the simulcast of a controversial opera, there is still anger and unease surrounding the Met’s plans to put on the performance at the opera house this fall. As WCBS 880′s Peter Haskell reported, canceling the simulcast wasn’t enough for some. Morton Klein, of the Zionist Organization of America, […]
The University of South Florida (USF) is a popular choice for Jewish students. According to Hillel, it’s one of the top 30 public universities by Jewish population. But Jewish students and their parents should think twice about whether this school is right for them. Anti-Semitism is a problem on the campus, and although university officials are well […]
I heard you were in Israel, Jeremy. Why didn’t you look me up? We really need to talk. First I was hoping for a conversation about your ‘Setting the record straight’ Times of Israel op-ed.

The positions of the Palestinian Arabs in the latest round of peace talks, being pushed by Obama Administration and Secretary of State John Kerry, and the concessions being expected of Israel by the U.S. and […]
Under pressure to restart talks with Mahmoud Abbas’s Palestinian Authority, Israel has diverged from its refusal to accede to preconditions and agreed to free 104 terrorists from its jails. It’s a mistake. Israel should withstand the pressure and say no. Why? Because it makes a mockery of justice – and inflicts unimaginable pain on families […]
Morton Klein, who heads the Zionist Organization of America, tells Arutz Sheva in a special interview that the reason the U.S. is not becoming involved in the Syrian civil war is that it does not know which side is worse than the other. “We’re not sure which side is better,” he explained. “We know that […]
Letters — June 5, 2013 ZOA Is Not ‘Hawkish’; It’s Rational Centrist Thank you for your interesting article “ZOA Lobbies Against Aid to Egypt, Palestinians” in the May 3 issue about ZOA’s Mission to Washington. Nevertheless, it inappropriately stated that ZOA is “hawkish.” Is demanding that Palestinians abide by their Oslo agreements to arrest terrorists, end […]
