Democratic senators’ bill to stop homes for Jews outside Jerusalem hypocritical at best - Zionist Organization of America
By Liz Berney, Morton A. Klein (October 1, 2026/JNS) Restricting where Jews can live is quintessential antisemitism, just like restricting where blacks can live is quintessential racism. Throughout the centuries, Jews have suffered from being constrained to Nazi-, European- and Muslim-imposed squalid, overcrowded, impoverished ghettos (and worse).
Democratic senators’ bill to stop homes for Jews outside Jerusalem hypocritical at best
(Oct. 1, 2026 / JNS) Restricting where Jews can live is quintessential antisemitism, just like restricting where blacks can live is quintessential racism. Throughout the centuries, Jews have suffered from being constrained to Nazi-, European- and Muslim-imposed squalid, overcrowded, impoverished ghettos (and worse). In the United States in the early-to mid-20th century, restrictive covenants prevented Jews and blacks from buying homes and living in many neighborhoods.
Mourn the Man – But Avoid Emulating Abe Foxman’s Actions
Order Jamie Glazov’s new book, ‘United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas’: HERE. When I heard of former ADL (Anti-Defamation League) National Director Abe Foxman’s passing, I initially thought: this is a time to mourn. It seemed pointless and inappropriate to bring up the damage he caused to important efforts to combat Jew-hatred and Israel-hatred.

Oped: Yair Lapid’s plan for Gaza is Lunacy
Israeli opposition leader and former temporary Prime Minister Yair Lapid has just floated an absurd, extremely dangerous proposal – that Egypt should control Gaza for eight years, with an option to continue controlling Gaza for another seven years, followed by turning over control of Gaza to the Palestinian Authority (which continues to incite and pay terrorists to murder Jews, despite rebranding its "pay-to-slay" payments as "economic empowerment" payments).
ZOA’s Berney JPost Oped-Extremist Bloomfield's falsehoods about the Zionist Organization of America - Zionist Organization of America
SIMILAR TO ZOA, Israeli Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Brett Jonathan Miller, criticized UNSC Res. 2720 for failing to prioritize the hostages and their medical care; failing to condemn Hamas’s atrocities; and unnecessarily calling for expanded humanitarian aid when Israel has already enabled this.
Bloomfield's falsehoods about ZOA - opinion
Douglas Bloomfield’s op-ed repeatedly misleads and misinforms readers, and ignores mainstream agreement with ZOA’s sensible views, to falsely label ZOA.
Jew-Hating, Israel-Hating Lies About the Palestinian Conference at UPenn
UPenn paper’s article about Palestinian Conference there is filled wiith Jew-hating, Israel-hating lies/omissions. By: Morton Klein and Liz Berney The “Palestine Writes” event at University of Pennsylvania this past Yom Kippur weekend was not a “celebration of art and culture,” as claimed in a recent Daily Pennsylvanian article.

ADL head Jonathan Greenblatt must be replaced

Practical lessons from the Colleyville Temple hostage-taking
Note: The ZOA is deeply relieved that Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker and three other Jewish hostages were able to escape, physically unharmed, after being held hostage on the holy Sabbath by radical Islamist Jihadi terrorist Malik Faisal Akram at Reform Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas. ZOA commends the bravery of the rabbi, the other hostages, and law enforcement.
Money Can’t Buy Love (or Peace from Terrorists Who Want to Murder Jews)

JNS.org – A $50 billion “Peace to Prosperity” economic development plan won’t buy peace from those Palestinian Arabs who have been indoctrinated since birth to hate and murder Jews. The Arab-Islamic war to extinguish Jews and Israel’s existence is not based on economics.
Most Israelis Disagree With Alan Dershowitz’s Support for a Palestinian State

Nevertheless, we disagree with his advocacy for creating a Palestinian-Arab state. It will be an Iranian-Hamas proxy terrorist regime threatening Israel. The respected Israeli BESA Center recently explained that a Palestinian state would be a grave danger to Israel’s security.
Ilhan Omar Is Funded by Israel-Hating BDS Promoters and PACs

JNS.org – Israel-hating Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has repeatedly displayed deep-seated, dangerous antisemitism and hatred towards the Jewish state. Rep. Omar falsely called Israel “evil” and an “apartheid regime.” She promotes anti-Israel boycotts, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) — the delegitimization and economic destruction of Israel — and lied to voters about her BDS position while running for Congress.
Texas’ Anti-BDS Law Should Be Upheld

JNS.org – With the help of an anti-Israel legal group, an admitted boycotter of Israel named Bahia Amawi sued a Texas school district and the Texas attorney general this week to try to overturn the state’s anti-BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) contracting law (Texas Gov. Code § 2270.001, et. seq.).
ZOA responds: Vicious anti-Israel, Hamas-supported BDS is targeting Mort Klein for influencing Qatar
Like Moses, Esther and Herzl, Mort Klein just wanted to plead the Jewish people's case when he went to Doha. The PR hit piece by Steve Rabinowitz on Klein didn't show any financial or ulterior motives for his involvement because there are none - and that can't be said about Rabinowitz himself
Boteach Should Focus on Changing Qatar, Not on Attacking Jewish Leaders’ Efforts to Do So
Email a copy of "Boteach Should Focus on Changing Qatar, Not on Attacking Jewish Leaders’ Efforts to Do So" to a friend I am deeply disappointed by my friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s repeated vitriolic, distorted attacks on dedicated pro-Israel Jewish leaders who met with Qatari officials and the Qatari Emir to urge changes in Qatari and Al Jazeera policies — for the benefit of the Jewish people, Israel and the US.
Why banning BDS groups from entering Israel is necessary and just - American Israelite: Opinion
We’ve seen the harm that these BDS groups inflict right here in the U.S. The Zionist Organization of America has documented the heinous calls for “Death to the Jews” and violence perpetrated by BDS groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) on local American college campuses. A recent Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA) study, “SJP Unmasked,” details the group’s violence, anti-Semitism, intimidation tactics and connections to terrorist groups.
Banning BDS Groups From Entering Israel Is Necessary and Just
Email a copy of "Banning BDS Groups From Entering Israel Is Necessary and Just" to a friend JNS.org – Israel’s decision to finally ban 20 of the worst organizations leading the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement is necessary for the country’s security. It’s also sensible and just. BDS is a political and economic warfare movement, often combined with violence and intimidation, that is aimed at eradicating the Jewish state.
Opinion: Banning BDS Groups from Entering Israel is Necessary and Just
No sovereign nation should permit the entry of those dedicated to its destruction. Israel, like every other nation, has a duty to protect itself. Israel’s decision to finally ban 20 of the worst organizations leading the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement is necessary for the country’s security, and is sensible and just. BDS is a political and economic warfare movement, often combined with violence and intimidation, that is aimed at eradicating the Jewish state.

Letter to the Editor: Preventing Radical Islamists from Murdering Americans is a Moral Act
The left’s confusion about what constitutes “morality” compels us to respond to Forward editor Jane Eisner’s criticism of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) because ZOA supports President Trump’s executive order titled “Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States.” Most Americans, according to a recent Rasmussen poll, agree with ZOA: Americans overwhelmingly favor Trump’s order, 57% to 33%.
Why Does the ADL Continue to Hinder Anti-BDS Efforts?

The anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions (“BDS”) campaign is hateful, antisemitic economic activity that is designed to delegitimize, economically destroy and culturally and academically isolate the Jewish state. Pro-Israel groups need to work together to combat the BDS onslaught, using every tool at our disposal — including legal action and anti-BDS laws — to curtail discriminatory BDS economic activity.
Torah Values and Why We Oppose Resettling Syrian Refugees
J Street rabbis, resettlement contractor HIAS (which stands to receive millions of our tax dollars to resettle Syrian migrants throughout the US) and President Obama all misleadingly argue that the Torah, and hence “Jewish values,” support large-scale unfettered immigration of ISIS-infiltrated Syrian Muslims into the United States.
