Shana tova!

I would like to wish you a very happy, prosperous new year. 5781 was a difficult year for many. While Israel has continued to remain strong, its enemies have been getting bolder. To my mind, the biggest news wasn't the Gaza war or the new Israeli government. It was that Israel haters can now call Israel an "apartheid state" with impunity - because Human Rights Watch has made that lie mainstream. EoZ has been fighting that lie, with videos, posters, and reports that don't only thoroughly debunk the slander, but that also prove that Human Rights Watch and its leader Ken Roth are systemically anti-Israel and even antisemitic, holding the Jewish state to standards that no one else is held to and creating a unique definition of "apartheid" tailored to fit Israel. That's just one of the many campaigns EoZ has done this year. But it is also a place to find news you will not see anywhere else, scoops that are picked up much later in other media, and forgotten history of Israel and Jews. EoZ has gained popularity on social media. We now have over 37,000 Twitter followers, and tweets often get amplified hundreds of times. My regular columnists (Judean Rose, Vic Rosenthal, Daled Amos, PreOccupied Territory) add new dimensions to the blog, and Ian continues to do an amazing job collecting the links to every single important article published elsewhere. EoZ is really a one stop shop for all Israel news. All of this takes a great deal of time and money. Please donate to EoZ so we can continue to provide the very best in news and analysis.
