About this organization
Mission
Founded in 1897, the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) is the oldest pro-Israel organization in the United States. With offices around the country and in Israel, the ZOA is dedicated to educating the public, elected officials, media, and college/high school students about the truth of the ongoing and relentless Arab war against Israel. ZOA is committed to promoting strong U.S.-Israel relations. ZOA works to protect Jewish college and high school students from intimidation, harassment, and discrimination, and fights anti-Semitism in general in every arena. The objectives and purposes of the ZOA are as follows: a) To continue to foster and strengthen the concept of Jewish renaissance through the rebirth of Israel as a nation in its ancient homeland. b) To educate the public about threats to Israel, fight anti-Semitism through any and all lawful means, and strive for the survival of Judaism wherever Jews may be, particularly in the United States of America. c) To aid in the further development of the State of Israel as the home of the Jewish people and the spiritual and cultural center of Jewish life. d) To foster among its members, and particularly among Jewish youth, the objectives and ideals of Judaism, through a program of education, and to strengthen the spiritual unity of the Jewish people. e) To build a bridge of understanding between the Jewish people of the United States and the Jewish people in other countries, especially in Israel. f) To gather and spread information among its members and the public at large, with respect to happenings and events that may affect Israel and the Jewish people. g) To foster and encourage among its members an abiding appreciation for the democratic way of life in the United States of America and the ideals upon which it is grounded.
