MISSION STATEMENT
The Committee for the Open Discussion of Zionism (CODZ) was formed in September, 2007, in response to the efforts of certain Zionist organizations in the United States to suppress criticism of Israel and /or Zionism. These efforts, often successful, have included: pressuring academic institutions to deny tenure to faculty who have criticized Israeli policy; demanding the dismissal or suspension of pro-Palestinian teachers and administrators; instigating the denial of lecture and performance venues to critics of Israeli policy; and attempting to suppress distribution of books critical of Israel or Zionism.
