About the ZOA
Founded in 1897, 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. ZOA presents the facts about the Arab/Islamic war against Israel, and the Jewish people's lawful right to live in and settle historic Jewish lands. ZOA combats the anti-Israel lie that Israel is an "occupier" of her own land. ZOA spearheaded the long battles to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and apply civil rights protections to Jewish students who are harassed on college campuses. ZOA provides legal and other assistance to pro-Israel students at campuses throughout the country. ZOA exposes that a Palestinian state would endanger Israel's existence. ZOA is at the forefront, fighting against all forms of antisemitism, including anti-Jewish boycotts. It is because of ZOA's bold and unapologetic voice that we have such a significant impact on public discourse and policy.
