Spring appeal: Donate to EoZ!

(This post will be pasted on the top of the page for the day, scroll down to see newer articles.)

Throughout the quarter I received appeals for funds from other organizations.

One of them asked for money because they had helped to get people to complain to Amazon and Google to remove a violent anti-Israel videogame from their app stores.

I was the first one to report about that video game.

Similarly, I saw an appeal based on an organization debunking the Hamas lie that an Israeli dam had been opened to flood Gaza.

I was not only the first to debunk that myth this year, but I had debunked similar stories years ago.

When you read EoZ, you get many of these stories first, way before the mainstream media - stories that, in some ways, end up making a real difference.

This quarter was no exception:

• EoZ was a major factor in the Jim Clancy meltdown that led to his being let go from CNN. 
• I prompted a New York Times (silent) correction where they used the nonsensical phrase "Israel's 1967 borders with Palestine." 
• I exposed some truly idiotic BDSers who thought that Sabra hummus was named after the Sabra and Shatila massacres in Lebanon, forcing them to remove their accusations. 
• I embarrassed left-wing NGO Gisha into reluctantly mentioning for the first time that Hamas was stopping people from leaving Gaza - supposedly the raison d'etre of the organization. 
• I exposed Fatah's poster that showed a pile of skulls with Stars of David, a story that did reach the mainstream media and forced Fatah to distance itself from the image - not very convincingly. 

If you can find a paid reporter that has done that much in three months, please let me know.

But that isn't all.

I made posters:

I made cartoons:

I critiqued the media. I wrote original analyses, I pointed out hypocrisy, I exposed NGO bias.  I explored history. My articles appeared or were linked to from Algemeiner, Jewish Press, TheBlaze and elsewhere. I was interviewed on Voice of Israel. My twitter follower count went past 14,000.

In three months I posted about 500 articles.

And this was a typical quarter for me.

This is besides the daily linkdumps by Ian, which are, hands down, the best daily round-up of stories about Israel and the Arab world that you can find anywhere.

EoZ is also now blessed with three regular weekly columnists: Mike Lumish, Vic Rosenthal and PreOccupied Territory.
