4 HonestReporting Annual Report 2019 • www.honestreporting.com Message from the Executive Director
At a time when antisemitism is on the rise, and some journalists try to portray Israel’s multicultural, democratic society as an apartheid, racist, colonial state, HonestReporting is not only more necessary, but also more prepared than ever before.
I’ve been in the role of Executive Director for just over a year, and in the following pages, I’m excited to tell you what we’ve done!
» Our new Director of MediaCentral, Laura Cornfield, a 30 year veteran of television news, is already drastically increasing output and building stronger relationships than ever with journalists on the ground in Israel.
» Member of the 19th Knesset Dov Lipman, joined our team as Senior Manager of Community Outreach. Did you know that Linda Sarsour attacked him in front of her followers on Twitter when he exposed her lack of knowledge about Arab Israelis?
» I’ve increased my own proactive, public appearances, including an internationally televised debate with BDS co- founder, Omar Barghouti, in which I exposed his lies and hypocrisy.
» We’ve achieved massive increases to our YouTube video output, often beating CNN’s ratings, and now including our newly acquired access to professional “b-roll” footage from wire services: this allows us to respond to breaking news with the same speed and visual quality as mainstream networks.
» As always, we continue to achieve corrections, retractions and implement respected oversight in the mainstream and digital media.
» Finally, we’ve improved our financial position, streamlined our spending and resources, and put ourselves on a strong footing to begin a successful 2020: for Israel and for Jewish communities around the world.
Despite our accomplishments, we are in the early stages of what promises to be a long battle: this work is as expensive as it is powerful and our adversaries include well-funded outlets like the television network Al Jazeera, and its youth oriented digital channel, AJ+, which produce content that is both anti-Israel and antisemitic. Our goal for 2020 is to “scale-up” and become truly competitive against these information forces.
Our work delivers: we track meaningful and measurable results, especially among young adults who are most vulnerable to this antisemitic mythology, which is an important factor for defending Jewish communities: in America and worldwide. I hope you’ll enjoy reading about those specific details in this report.
Thank you very much for supporting Israel, and for supporting HonestReporting.
Sincerely,
Daniel Pomerantz
Executive Director

HonestReporting Annual Report 2019 • www.honestreporting.com 9 NEW STAFF
Dov Lipman
We were delighted to announce that former Member of Knesset and American “oleh” to Israel, Dov Lipman, joined our team as Senior Manager – Community Outreach. His work includes outreach and fundraising in the many communities that support us around the world. Dov made Israel advocacy a significant part of his work in the Knesset and we are excited to have such a high-profile person on board!
Zina Rakhamilova
As new projects and new technologies come to fruition, we are constantly looking for dynamic young experts in their field to join our team. Zina Rakhamilova has worked in the Jewish non-profit world for over five years. After graduating from York University, one of the most anti-Israel campuses in Canada, Zina began working as a campus professional, supporting and educating pro-Israel students all across Canadian campuses about Israel.
She then took her skills to support Israel online, working to create content for social media to ensure Israel's voice was being heard online. Zina now heads HonestReporting's YouTube project, making videos that explain Israel's geopolitics beyond the headlines.
10 HonestReporting Annual Report 2019 • www.honestreporting.com IHRA ANTISEMITISM DEFINITION PETITION AND THE NEW YORK TIMES
Daniel Pomerantz outside the office of the New York Times.
The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism has already been adopted and endorsed by a growing number of governments and organizations (including HonestReporting).
But beyond the governmental level, there’s another sector that needs to adopt the IHRA’s definition of antisemitism: The media.
By choosing what to cover and how to cover it, news services set the agenda for public discourse. Guided by the IHRA, journalists would make better-informed decisions in covering hate crimes. Coverage of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), especially on local campuses, would be better nuanced. With a consistent standard, editors would be able to better judge op- eds and letters while moderators could keep website comments more civilized.
And in a time when public figures on the right and left engage in varying degrees of antisemitic rhetoric, the press will be better poised to fulfill its role of holding leaders accountable.
That's why HonestReporting launched a petition, signed by thousands of people, calling on the international media to adopt the IHRA definition.
HonestReporting took an active lead in calling out the New York Times after it published a blatantly antisemitic cartoon in its international edition. HR was cited in a number of media outlets on the issue (which you can see earlier in this report).
HonestReporting’s petition calling on the international mainstream media to adopt the IHRA definition is a constructive way to address issues such as the New York Times cartoon.
That’s why Daniel Pomerantz visited the New York Times headquarters to deliver the petition to Editor-in-Chief, Dean Baquet.
We intend to present the petition to other significant media outlets in the near future.
HonestReporting Annual Report 2019 • www.honestreporting.com 11 After six years of providing readers with the Israel Daily News Stream, it was time HR LAUNCHES to rethink and revamp the roundup.

14 HonestReporting Annual Report 2019 • www.honestreporting.com 52 people from countries including the US, UK, Canada and Australia joined MISSIONS TO ISRAEL us in May/June and December for our two HonestReporting Missions of the year.
Participants enjoyed luxury hotel stays in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, learning about the history of the country from its birth to the present, examining some of the key issues as well as receiving some practical advocacy and media bias training.
Only weeks after the first Israeli election of the year, Lahav Harkov, the Jerusalem Post’s top analyst and reporter in the Knesset gave her take on the unfolding (and later failed) coalition negotiations. December Mission participants were able to catch up on the continuing political deadlock with the Times of Israel’s political correspondent Raoul Wootliff as the country prepared for an unprecedented third election in the space of a year. And who better to give a tour of the Knesset building than HonestReporting’s own former MK Dov Lipman?
There were field trips to see some of the best of Israeli ingenuity atthe Center for Israeli Innovation, a VIP tour of Magen David Adom’s Jerusalem headquarters showcasing how Israeli technology saves lives, and the Jaffa studios of i24 News where participants got to see live TV in action and hear Mission participants visit the Machal Memorial at Sha’ar HaGai. from the station’s CEO Frank Melloul.
Experts in their fields and guest lecturers addressed the Mission such as former spokesperson to the prime minister, Col. (Res.) Miri Eisin, leading military analyst Elliot Chodoff, JPost Arab Affairs correspondent Khaled Abu Toameh, Jerusalem’s Deputy Mayor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, and Yoram Ettinger, former Ambassador in-charge of Israel’s relations with the US Congress.
Mission participants also heard from real people with very real stories such as Kay Wilson, the survivor of a brutal terror attack, who gave inspiring words and introduced her Palestinian friend trying to build bridges between Jews and Arabs, while Amna Kanana who is working for improved women’s rights within Israeli-Arab society hosted the group in her Kfar Qara home during a field trip to see how Israel’s non-Jewish minorities live in the Jewish state.
Participants received practical training on media issues from HonestReporting’s dedicated staff and learned how to better advocate for Israel from educator extraordinaire Neil Lazarus.
Don’t miss out! HonestReporting will be running our next Mission in April 2020. You can find out more here – https://mission.honestreporting.com.

LIVE SEMINAR
In a first for HonestReporting, we held a seminar in our Jerusalem offices entitled, “Learn how to get your point across.” Daniel Pomerantz broke down examples from television debates, including his recent appearance with BDS co-founder Omar Barghouti on international television. He used these examples to explore how we can communicate without losing friendships, and how to be persuasive yet respectful.
In addition to a live audience of about 30 HonestReporting supporters from Israel, we also did a live stream of the event to supporters around the world. This live stream included the ability to send in comments and questions. So no matter HonestReporting supporters gather at the home of HR's board chairman where in the world you are, we hope you’ll join us for the live stream. next time!
