Three years after Oct. 7, we must not make the same mistake | Opinion
Oct. 7, 2023 was not just a horrific massacre. It was a warning. The lesson is simple: Hamas must be disarmed, Gaza must be deradicalized and Israel must be allowed to defend itself. If we rebuild Gaza while Hamas remains armed and in control, we are simply helping build the next Oct. 7. Oct. 7 was the worst slaughter of innocent Jews since the Holocaust.

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.

Nessel gets Queen Esther wrong: Jews don’t have to sacrifice themselves - opinion
Michigan Attorney-General Dana Nessel is telling Jews something deeply disturbing: we may need to sacrifice our own safety and even our own future for “humanity.” That is a terrible message. It is also far outside the Jewish tradition she claims to be invoking.
Israel was right to reject the dangerous 15-point plan | Opinion
Israel was right to reject the latest 15-point plan. Not negotiate it away. Not soften it. Reject it. Israel has every right to decide what terms it will accept when its security and survival are at stake.
Israel was right to reject the dangerous 15-point plan | Opinion Original
Morton A. Klein Aug. 21, 2026, 2:09 p.m. ET Israel was right to reject the latest 15-point plan. Not negotiate it away. Not soften it. Reject it. Israel has every right to decide what terms it will accept when its security and survival are at stake. It is also about America’s credibility, President Donald Trump’s legacy and whether the United States still has the power to make agreements that mean something.
AIPAC promotes left-wing issues … and gets attacked by the left
(Aug. 18, 2026 / JNS) It was painful to see that in response to Thomas L. Friedman’s article in The New York Times criticizing AIPAC, the Jewish lobby group showed support for left-wing positions when, instead, strength and pride were needed. In a response to a post on X, AIPAC supported creating a Palestinian state, even though, especially after the Hamas-led terrorist attacks on Oct.
Board of Peace 15-point Gaza ceasefire plan will lead to more war, endanger Israel - opinion
On Thursday, the Board of Peace announced a 15-point plan for Gaza, deceptively titled “A Roadmap for Completing the Implementation of President Trump’s Comprehensive Peace Plan in Gaza.” In fact, this new 15-point plan rewrites US President Donald Trump’s already concerning October 2025 20-point plan to further endanger Israel and to assist Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups. ZOA previously expressed multiple serious concerns about the 20-Point Gaza deal here and here.
We cannot accept the deceit of Iran's terror regime | Opinion Original
Morton Klein and Elizabeth Berney Special to the USA TODAY Network July 29, 2026, 11:34 a.m. ET The Islamic Republic of Iran was born through deception. Nearly five decades later, it faces its greatest challenge because an American president has concluded that the regime's deception can no longer be tolerated. Documents declassified in 2016 show that Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini secured power by making promises to President Jimmy Carter that he never intended to keep.

When journalism becomes a weapon against Israel - opinion
The New York Times has long been notorious for its severe bias and hatred against Israel and the Jewish people.
For Iran, delay isn’t a tactic. It Is the strategy | Opinion
Morton A. Klein May 7, 2026, 3:26 a.m. ET In conventional diplomacy, delay is treated as a temporary obstacle. Negotiations stall, deadlines slip, and parties assume that more time will eventually yield compromise. With the Islamic Republic of Iran, that assumption is not merely incorrect. It is strategically dangerous. Delay is not a malfunction in Iran’s diplomacy. It is the mechanism itself.
Be Careful, President Trump: Indefinite delays are Iran’s favorite weapon
Indefinite delays are not a side issue in dealing with the Islamic Republic of Iran. They are the strategy. For decades, this terrorist regime has perfected the art of stalling, deflecting, and prolonging negotiations in order to advance its most dangerous objectives out of view and without consequence. That reality must guide every U.S. decision at this critical moment.
Take heed, Trump: Indefinite delays are Iran’s favorite weapon
FATAL LIFELINE: WHY A DEAL WITH TEHRAN IS A TRAP FOR TRUMP President Donald Trump has shown strength and clarity in confronting this regime. His administration’s actions, together with the resolve of the U.S. military, have imposed real costs on Tehran’s ambitions. That pressure has mattered. It has constrained Iran’s capabilities and demonstrated that American power, when applied decisively, can disrupt even deeply entrenched threats.

Stop spreading the ‘settler violence’ libel
( Apr. 12, 2026 / JNS ) During the past two years, egged on by incitement by the Palestinian Authority and some $400 million per year of “pay for slay” rewards to terrorists who murder Jews, Palestinian Arab terrorists committed approximately 10,000 serious reported terror attacks against innocent Jews (about 14 serious attacks per day), in addition to widespread daily rock-throwing and riots.
The ‘two-state solution’ is sheer folly
The draft of the “State of Palestine” constitution, authored by Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas’s constitution committee and released in February, makes it crystal clear that the P.A. should have no governance role in Gaza, should never be given a state and should forever lay to rest the fantasy of a peaceful “two-state solution.” A “State of Palestine” will be constitutionally committed to persistent terrorism; “continuous Palestinian struggle” to destroy and replace all of Israel;...

Open letter to Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation
(Feb. 15, 2026 / JNS) Mr. Roberts, Thank you for our meeting at the Heritage Foundation in December. I very much appreciated our detailed, cordial discussion about the Zionist Organization of America’s concerns about you and the Heritage Foundation defending and allying with Tucker Carlson, who used to condemn Pat Buchanan as a Jew-hater and has now transformed himself into a vicious blood libeler and propagandist against the Jewish people, Israel and American interests.
No Wisdom in Mamdani’s choice for office to combat Jew-hatred
(Feb. 11, 2026 / JNS) Phylisa Wisdom, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pick for running the mayor’s office to combat antisemitism, is a dangerous choice for a position that the city so desperately needs right now. This is due to a number of factors.

Morton Klein: Tucker Carlson Is an Enemy of America
OPINION (The following op-ed appears first and foremost on the Jewish News Service (JNS) website.) In a recent interview, Tucker Carlson absurdly declared: “I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by radical Islam.” Tucker Carlson is not a patriot. In fact, he's an enemy of America. Why?
Tucker Carlson is an enemy of America
(Jan. 3, 2026 / JNS) Tucker Carlson is not a patriot. In fact, he’s an enemy of America. Why? Because American patriots don’t side with sworn enemies, such as the Iranian regime that daily plots and calls for death to the United States, and has murdered thousands of Americans. American patriots don’t give aid and comfort to terrorists, radical Islam, neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
Calling for global intifada must end
(Dec. 22, 2025 / JNS) Jews worldwide and their supporters on the last day of the Chanukah holiday are still reeling with pain and horror from the terrorist attack on Bondi Beach during the first night of Chanukah. In Australia on Dec. 14, two Muslim father-and-son terrorists shouting Allahu Akbar! shot dead 15 people, including two rabbis, a couple soon to celebrate their 35th anniversary, an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor and a 10-year-old girl.
The problem with the policy of ‘diverse viewpoints’
Morton A. Klein is the national president of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA). ( JNS) During a speech at the American Zionist Movement’s biennial this month, Elliot Cosgrove, a prominent Conservative rabbi in New York City, called for “a new chapter of American Zionism” that welcomed diverse viewpoints. At the same time, he condemned “intolerance in the American Jewish community toward differing political views” and said all views in the broad Zionist tent should be taken seriously.
