[Rugger]

Morton Klein, President of the Zionist Organization of America, will be visiting Swarthmore College to deliver his lecture entitled "Israel & the Arabs: Is Peace Possible?" on Monday, October 27th at 7:30 PM in the Scheuer Room.  

Mr. Klein is widely regarded as one of the leading Jewish activists in the United States. In acknowledgment of his successful activism, The Forward, a national Jewish weekly, named him one of the top five Jewish leaders in the US today, stating "it's impossible to deny that Klein has been extraordinarily effective." The Philadelphia Jewish Exponent named him one of the top dozen "Jewish activists of the century." The Wall Street Journal called the ZOA "heroic and the most credible advocate for Israel on the American Jewish scene.  The New York Times, in a profile called "Public Lives," called Klein, "an iconoclast who is a prolific speechmaker, writer, and Congressional lobbyist."

His successful campaigns against anti-Israel bias in leading textbooks, travel guides, universities, churches, and the media, as well as his work on Capitol Hill, were the subject of 30 feature stories both here and in Israel, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, AIPAC's Near East Report, and the Jerusalem Post.

He has been invited to testify before the US Congress, including the US House International Relations Committee, and the Israeli Knesset.  Klein has appeared on TV and radio including ABC's Peter Jennings World News Tonight, NBC National News, Jim Lehrer News Hour, O'Reilly Factor, Buchanan & Friends, Donahue, CNN, Fox-TV, CNBC, MSNBC, NPR, and the BBC.

Monday, October 27th 7:30 PM Scheuer Room, Kohlberg Hall Swarthmore College
