AZM is at the forefront of Zionist programs and activities in the United States. AZM serves as the convener of the Jewish Zionist organizations within this country, as a catalyst for new Zionist ideas, and as an incubator of new Zionist initiatives.
AZM STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES OF ZIONISM
Adopted in 2018 by the AZM National Board
- The sovereign state of Israel’s unconditional right to exist as the Jewish democratic homeland;
- The right of the people of Israel to live in peace and security;
- Pride in the common history, culture, destiny and religious heritage of the Jewish people;
- Pride in Israel’s rich contributions to the world and its aspirational role to be an exemplary society for all of humanity; and
- Israel’s centrality to Jewish identity and life.
“Israel is the one and only homeland of the Jewish people. Zionism is about that peoplehood. There is only one place in the entire world that will protect Jews no matter where we are regardless of our status as citizen or non-citizen. We must celebrate and elevate Israel with every fiber of our being.”
AZM President Deborah Isaac, 2021
