ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE ZOA to State Dep’t: Support Israel in Fight Against Terrorist-Supporting NGOs Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein and ZOA Director of Government Relations Dan Pollak released the following statement: ZOA condemns the lukewarm support of Israel offered by State Dept. spokesman Ned Price following the justified closure by Israeli security forces of the offices of six Palestinian NGOs that have ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an indisputable terrorist group. The U.S. State Department has properly designated the PFLP as a foreign terrorist organization since 1997. It is unclear why Price spoke of “concerns” and stated, “we form our own judgment regarding these organizations and recent actions.” Price claimed that they will look at any new evidence Israel presents and claims that the administration believes a ‘high bar’ is needed to take action against NGOs. To his credit, Price did state that Israel has valid security concerns. He said “There is no question regarding the terrorist threat that Israel faces. We’ve all been reminded of that tragically and vividly, to include in recent days.” In October of last year, ZOA wrote extensively about the details of the six NGOs and their connections to the PFLP. In summary, each group is headed by PFLP senior leaders, employ many PFLP activists including those who participated in terror activities and have extensive, overt financial ties to the PFLP. In addition, the PFLP itself has boasted that its NGO links are “a source of great pride and honor.” The Shin Bet travelled to Washington last fall and presented extensive classified evidence to the Biden administration that proved these links to terrorism beyond any doubt.

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; 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 apply civil rights protections to Jewish students. ZOA provides free legal assistance and programs to pro-Israel students at numerous college campuses. ZOA's bold, unapologetic voice has a significant impact on public discourse and policy.
