Objective of Zachor Legal Institute

Zachor Legal Institute, a leading legal think tank and advocacy organization, is at the forefront of creating a framework to wage legal battle against anti-Israel movements in America. Our primary focus is combating BDS and antisemitic activities across commercial, university, and governmental sectors.

Zachor Legal Institute addresses the detrimental financial impact and discriminatory effects of antisemitic activities through two distinct strategies:

  • Defensive

    We employ well-established legal principles, supported by longstanding government policy, to prevent the adoption and promulgation of antisemitism and BDS activities by governmental bodies, academic institutions, unions, businesses, and individuals. To date, we have successfully collaborated with various efforts at the federal and state levels to pass, defend, and enforce legislation that is fully constitutional and effective in combating antisemitism.

  • Offensive

    Utilizing existing federal and state laws, including anti-terrorism and anti-racketeering statutes that have been used to prosecute organized crime and terror movements, we impose financial and criminal penalties on entities and individuals engaging in or funding antisemitic and BDS activities in the United States.

    A key aspect of our efforts is producing legal scholarship that is made available to the entire Zionist umbrella of organizations. This enables us, collectively, to reduce the negative impacts of anti-Israel lies and misrepresentations. Zachor’s scholarly research has been cited by various U.S. governmental and non-profit organizations in legal rulings and recommendations, as well as by the Israeli Supreme Court. Our activism has been instrumental in advancing programs to prevent antisemitism’s harmful effects.

The key in this effort is our focus on producing legal scholarship that is then made available for use by the entire Zionist umbrella of organizations, enabling us together to reduce the negative impacts of anti-Israel lies and misrepresentations. Zachor scholarly research has been cited by a variety of US governmental and non-profit organizations when making legal rulings and recommendations, as well as by the Israeli Supreme Court. Zachor activism has been instrumental in pushing forward programs to stop antisemitism’s ugly hatred from causing injury.

We are now concentrating more on the offensive measures, designed to proactively eliminate those anti-Israel activities which are in gross violation of existing US law.
