Monday, July 11th at 11:00 AM EST

The Jewish Studies Zionist Network is composed of scholars and educators in Jewish Studies who affirm that Zionism is a legitimate movement for the national self-determination of the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland. Founded by Jarrod Tanny and Adam Fuller, the newly formed organization is joined by 80 scholars of Jewish and Israel studies to combat mischaracterizations of Zionism and Israel that seek to discredit legitimacy of Israel and its suporters on campuses.
