Friends of Zion

The Friends of Zion (FOZ) museum tells the story of 19th and 20th centuries non-Jewish heroes and their aid to the Jewish people. These heroes supported Zionism and assisted in the establishment of the State of Israel. Zionism is the nationalist movement of the Jewish people to return to the Holy Land and re-establish, develop, support and protect the Jewish state known as Israel. A Zionist is one who supports Zionism. The museum exhibits present the contributions of the friends of Israel such as the current President of the United States, Donald Trump, former President Harry Truman, Prime Minister of Britain Winston Churchill and Orde Wingate, a senior British Army officer. Several Righteous Among the Nations recipients such as Oscar Schindler and the Ten-Boom family are also honored here because they saved lives during the holocaust while risking their own lives. In December 2018, President Donald Trump received the Friends of Zion Award from Dr. Mike Evans founder of the Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem. The event was attended by Vice President Pence and faith leaders representing over 150 million Christians globally. After President Trump moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem and recognized it as the capital of Israel FOZ installed banners around town praising President Trump.Read more
