An on-line election that will have a significant impact on Israel’s future and the safety of the Jewish people around the word is almost over. The World Zionist Congress (WZC) election will conclude on April 30, 201 – so we urge readers to vote in the WZC election right away, for the Zionist Organization of America/ZOA: Defend Jews & Israeli Rights slate.
The Zionist Organization of America/ZOA: Defend Jews & Israeli Rights slate has a clear, comprehensive platform for defending Jewish rights both in Israel and around the globe, including: defending the rights of Jews to live in Judea and Samaria; supporting a strong Israel and united Jerusalem under Jewish sovereignty; saying “no” to a terrorist state Fatah-Hamas-Palestinian state; combatting anti-Israel bias on campuses and in textbooks and the media; supporting strong Jewish and Zionist education in Israel and throughout the world; combatting boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS); and supporting freeing Jonathan Pollard.
Much is at stake here – and it is important to vote before the April 30 deadline.
Sadly, groups that promote anti-Israel anti-Jewish boycotts, divestment and sanctions, right on their websites, are running in the WZC election. The Zionist Organization of America is leading the battle against BDS, and brought a case to disqualify those BDS groups because those groups violate the World Zionist Organization’s anti-discrimination requirements by discriminating against Jews and Israelis.
The World Zionist Congress makes policy, funding and leadership decisions for major Jewish communal institutions: the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), the World Zionist Organization (WZO), the Jewish National Fund (JNF), and Keren Hayesod. Voting for the Zionist Organization of America/ZOA: Defend Jews & Israeli Rights slate will help assure that these institutions’ policies will favor rescuing endangered Jews, united Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, the rights of Jews to live in Judea/Samaria and the other policies of the ZOA slate.
To vote, please go to the voting link on to www.votezoa.org or directly to the voting website at www.myvoteourisrael.com before the election ends on April 30th. The Zionist Organization of America/ZOA: Defend Jews & Israeli Rights slate is the last slate on the ballot. For questions of existence, contact Andrew Schiff [email protected]
