Shalom ZOA Members, Friends and Supporters of Israel,

We are very much looking forward to our “Evening With Ryan Bellerose” event this Monday evening in Center City. See the graphic below for all details.

While we have seen him on video and read articles by him and about him, we are told by people who have attended his talks just how powerful is his presentation in person – particularly to college students and young professionals who may be new to the cause of Israel and Zionism.

Tickets are still available – advance purchase encouraged via our Eventbrite page. If you are not able to attend, please consider sponsoring this event to help defray Greater Philadelphia ZOA’s costs. You can do so also at our Eventbrite page.

Website Aims to Expose Distortions in Reporting About Israel

June 14, 2016 By:

Jon Marks | JE Staff

The right words drive Lee Bender, Jerome Verlin and Steve Crane.

They want the rest of the world — and the media in particular — to understand that the language and terminology used in talking about Israel and the continuing conflict in the Middle East matters.

Four years ago, Bender and Verlin wrote a book called Pressing Israel: Media Bias Exposed from A-Z, in which they literally went through the alphabet showing what they consider inaccuracies in the language and distortion of the facts. Crane published it.

Now, they’ve launched a website.

Factsonisrael.com is aimed not only at explaining their position and detailing what they perceive as mistakes in the so-called mainstream media — publications like The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Philadelphia Inquirer and outlets such as Associated Press, CNN, Fox News and others — but at providing a history lesson one click at a time.

The hope is that if enough people read it and see the misconceptions and misrepresentations they may be able to apply enough public pressure to change the narrative.

That’s the hope. They know reality may be a different story.
