Email from Zionist Organization of America   ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE N.Y. Supreme Court Fully Dismisses Meritless Lawsuit Against ZOA Pres. and Board Members ZOA is pleased and gratified that yesterday, Judge Engoron of the New York State Supreme Court dismissed a meritless case brought by two former Board member-plaintiffs (out of 35 Board members) against ZOA, ZOA’s esteemed president Morton Klein and four other leading hardworking ZOA Board members. The Court pointed out that, on a motion to dismiss, the Court needs to accept the plaintiffs’ allegations as true (whether they’re true or not), construe those allegations liberally and deny the motion if the allegations state any cognizable action at law. Thus, for purposes of the motion to dismiss, the Court was required to accept as true numerous egregious falsehoods that the plaintiffs alleged against ZOA, Mr. Klein and the other Board members. Yet, the two former-Board member-plaintiffs failed to meet this generous, plaintiff-friendly standard. The Court dismissed the case because, among other things, the Court noted that there were fatal “gaping holes in the plaintiffs’ case.” Demonstrating that the plaintiff’s claims were all nonsense, in September 2024, the ZOA Board overwhelmingly reelected Morton Klein and the other defendant Board members to another term in office. Judge Engoron wisely advised the two former Board member-plaintiffs not to engage in costly internecine warfare against a “do-good” organization such as ZOA, which is combating antisemitism. ZOA is continuing and expanding our vital work on campuses, in the media, in the courts, in Congress and elsewhere, combating surging antisemitism and dangers to the Jewish State of Israel. ZOA thanks its attorney Marc Kasowitz, Esq.; Kasowitz, Benson, Torres; and in-house ZOA attorney Elizabeth Berney, Esq.\ View On Our Website REGISTER   Share This Email Share This Email Share This Email     DONATE Copyright © Zionist Organization of America 2025, All rights reserved.
