EoZ #HasbyAwards show in Jerusalem on Sunday night a smash success

On Sunday night, I presented the Hasby Awards to a wonderful crowd of the world's best pro-Israel advocates.

The event was at the Honest Reporting offices, where they have a rooftop deck overlooking much of Jerusalem. About 40 people came, and they were a who's who of famous Zionist bloggers, tweeters and writers.

Here is a partial list of attendees, to give you a taste:

Avi Mayer
Evelyn Gordon
Yishai Fleisher
PreOccupied Territory
Varda Meyers Epstein
Vic Rosenthal
Brian of London
Eugene Kontorovich
Not AntiSemitic (antiSuperDushIsraeli)
Hen Mazzig
Arsen Ostrovsky
Alexandra Markus (Lex)
Leora Eisenberg
Arnold Roth
Yisrael Medad
Father Gabriel Naddaf
Emanuel (Elan) Miller
Kay Wilson
Forest Rain
William Daroff
Yahya Mahamed
Peter Lerner
Jewlicious
Mrs. Elder

That's a pretty impressive list. 

I'll be posting videos of the event during the week. Everyone that presented or received an award - 20 people altogether - gave a short speech and they were really all excellent.

During the ceremony the hashtag #HasbyAwards became the top trending topic on Twitter! The attendees tweeted a lot so the world could keep track of all winners and speeches.

Here are some of the tweets:
