Occupy Zionism for Justice and Freedom (OZJF) is an American advocacy group. We defend Jewish safety. We back the U.S.-Israel partnership. And we explain terror-linked politics in plain English.
Who we are
OZJF is built as a civic institution, not a campaign. It is provided and directed by American Jews. We have a clear mission, an independent governing posture, and a public record. Because OZJF takes no outside donations and has no legislative goals, the team chooses not to publish more personal leadership detail than that. Read /about/leadership for the public statement we are making.
What we stand for
Israel has a right to exist. Jewish self-determination is a good thing. Hamas is a terrorist group. The Palestinian Authority pays families of terrorists through its martyrs fund. No government that pays for terror should get a seat at the table.
We also respect the line between regimes and people. Palestinian civilians are civilians. Wartime rules apply. We can say all of that in the same breath without flinching.
How we work
Our work runs in three tracks. Research: long explainers and briefs on Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, U.S. policy, and antisemitism at home. Advocacy: coalition work and direct public pressure. Education: clear tools for campus groups, faith communities, and anyone who wants to make the case in their own words.
Every serious claim links to a public source. That includes the State Department terror list, U.S. laws like the Taylor Force Act, and the ADL audit of antisemitic incidents. Read our approach in /about/mission-values and our editorial rules in /transparency/editorial-standards.
How we are structured
OZJF is independent. We do not take orders from any foreign government. We are not tied to any Israeli political party. Our governance docs, conflict-of-interest policy, and program list are on /about/governance. Where we support an outside program like Lox and Loaded, we say so plainly.
