Elder of Ziyon
As the year winds down, I want to express my appreciation for all the people who follow me and read Elder of Ziyon.
I'm grateful that I have so many supporters and fans who are hungry to learn the truth about Israel and the Middle East. This year the number of Elder of Ziyon social media followers has gone past 50,000, and there are more joining every day.
Many of EoZ followers and fans are influential. We are followed by major media, academic and political figures, authors and recognized experts. It is gratifying and humbling.
The blog is doing well, but I have also been spending time on memes and tweets that have been shared widely. Every month, my tweets are seen by millions of people - and during the May fighting that number topped 8 million impressions a month! Tweets regularly gather hundreds of "Likes" and retweets.
EoZ's influence extends beyond the blog and Twitter. EoZ has been published, linked and mentioned in plenty of other media. The Google News sites that have mentioned, quoted or republished EoZ in 2021 includes:
JTA
Jewish Journal
Algemeiner
Jewish Press
Israel Today
Breitbart
Weekly Blitz
Legal Insurrection
Jewish News
Gatestone Institute
JNS
BizPac review
Mosaic
Israellycool
Cleveland Jewish News
Honest Reporting
I also started an Instagram site to be an easy place to find my infographics, memes, posters, and comics.
I have finally started to gather my best articles and more in the hope of publishing a book. I'm happy with my progress so far.
My regular columnists (Judean Rose, Vic Rosenthal, Daled Amos, PreOccupied Territory) continue to add new dimensions to the blog, along with occasional contributions from Real Jerusalem Streets and (I wish more!) from Forest Rain. 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.
