Klein, the acclaimed National President of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), will be speaking at the Jewish Community Alliance, 8505 San Jose Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32217. Mr. Klein’s informative speech, entitled “You’ve Heard the Lies about Israel: Now Hear the Truth” will debunk the defamatory propaganda against Israel that is causing increased antisemitism and Israel-bashing. Morton A. Klein is widely regarded as one of the leading Jewish activists in the United States. The Forward newspaper named Mr. Klein one of the top five most influential Jewish leaders in America. He has appeared on every major television network, ranging from CNN to Fox TV; and has published over four hundred articles in major newspapers, including The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal and Jerusalem Post. Mr. Klein has lectured at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Penn, Berkeley, Stanford, MIT and other universities as well as to Federations and Israel Bond events. Mr. Klein previously worked as a biostatistician and medical researcher with double Nobel laureate Linus Pauling, at the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine in California. Mr. Klein was born in a displaced persons camp in Gunzberg, Germany, and is the child of Holocaust survivors. In August 2022, Mr. Klein and the ZOA were the honorees at the World Zionist Congress 125th Anniversary international celebration in Basel Switzerland. The Zionist Organization of America, founded in 1897, is the oldest pro-Israel organization in the United States. ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment. Today, ZOA is the leading major American Jewish organization courageously defending Israel and the Jewish people; fighting against all forms of antisemitism, including anti-Jewish boycotts; and promoting the Jewish people's lawful right to live in and settle historic Jewish lands. ZOA exposes that a Palestinian state would endanger Israel's existence; presents the facts about the Arab/Islamic war against Israel; and combats the anti-Israel lie that Israel is an "occupier" of her own land. ZOA spearheaded long battles to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and to apply civil rights protections ( Title VI) to Jewish students. ZOA provides free legal assistance and programs to pro-Israel students at numerous college campuses. ZOA's courageous voice has a significant impact on public discourse and policy. Press Availability: Mr. Klein will be available for press interviews.
