Since its founding in 1897, the Zionist Organization of America has been stalwartly defending the Jewish people and the Jewish State. As the oldest pro-Israel organization in the United States, the ZOA prides itself on presenting the facts and facilitating education on critical issues such as terrorism, incitement, media bias, and the rise of global anti-Semitism. The organization also plays a leading role in lobbying for Israel in Congress and promoting the legal rights of Zionist activists across the country. The following are examples of core issues that the ZOA stands for:

• Fighting global anti-Semitism and incitement against Jews and Israelis
• Rallying strong support for Israel in the United States
• A free, undivided, and safe Jerusalem for all people of all faiths
• The Jewish people’s legal rights in the State of Israel, including Judea and Samaria
• Defending Israel and the Jewish people from strategic threats and terrorism

The ZOA’s Campus Department maintains a large activism network, connecting college students of all backgrounds to Israel in greater depth. The ZOA Campus department is focused on combating the growing anti-Israel climate on colleges and universities and organizing educational initiatives. ZOA Campus hosts flagship programs such as the ZOA Student Leadership Mission to Israel, the ZOA Campus Fellowship, ZOA Summer Internship, and many more, which are open to all and provide dynamic educational experiences.
