Aish HaTorah Funds Extremist Evangelical Mailing to U.S. Clergy

Oct 28th, 2008 by Richard Silverstein | 1

Thanks once again to my anonymous researcher who dug up this gold nugget.
I’ve been trying to “follow the money” for the past several weeks behind Clarion Fund’s anti-Muslim documentaries, Obsession and Third Jihad; including tens of millions provided for production and promotion.  Raphael Shore, Clarion Fund boss and also director of Aish HaTorah, refuses to [...]

Clarion Fund: Anti-Muslim DVD to All U.S. Clergy on Behalf of Evangelicals Supporting McCain

Oct 20th, 2008 by Richard Silverstein | 9

UPDATE: I misread one word in the following news report as saying that the mailing described below was a donation “from” Clarion Fund when the text actually reads “to” Clarion Fund.  Nevertheless, I’m guessing that Clarion did pay for the cost of reproducing the DVDs; while the magazine paid for the mailing itself.
Upon closer reading, [...]

Obsession, Third Jihad Producer Once Arrested for Impersonating Secret Service Agent

Oct 10th, 2008 by Richard Silverstein | 0

Many of the journalists who’ve reported on the Clarion Fund and its anti-Islam “documentary” Obsession have wondered why the film credits listed fake names for the two producers.  Yesterday we reported that the real name of one of the producers is Erik Werth.  Thanks to Meg Laughlin of the St. Petersburg Times, we may have [...]

Radical Islam Wants You…and America

Oct 2nd, 2008 by Richard Silverstein | 15

Yes, you read me right.  Those crazy imams and ayatollahs want to destroy our American way of life and institute Sharia here in the U.S. of A.  They plan on dismantling the Constitution and creating an Islamic state in place of our beloved republic.  How do I know?  Third Jihad tells me so.  What’s Third [...]

EMET Withdraws from ‘Obsession’ Promotion

Oct 1st, 2008 by Richard Silverstein | 7

JTA’s Eric Fingerhut reports that after EMET’s participation in a campaign to promote the anti-Muslim documentary, Obsession, was uncovered by Inter-Press Service, and CAIR filed an FEC complaint against the project, EMET backed away as fast as its little feet would carry it.  Frankly, it makes EMET and its director look quite foolish.  Before I [...]

Did Sheldon Adelson Fund Anti-Obama Propaganda DVD?

Sep 14th, 2008 by Richard Silverstein | 20

Here’s an update on last night’s post about the dirty tricks campaign involving the circulation of 28 million DVDs of the anti-Muslim propaganda film, Obsession, in U.S. swing states.  In my last post, I noted that Obsession was produced by Raphael Shore with the financial backing on an anonymous backer.
Wikipedia reports that the film’s producer [...]

Anti-Muslim Film Produced by Pro-Israel Partisan Boosts McCain

Sep 14th, 2008 by Richard Silverstein | 32

You do the hanky-panky and you smear the other guy
That’s what it’s all about.

Yes, the right-wing pro-Israel crowd is up to its usual shenanigans I’m afraid…and going about it in their typically sly, surreptitious way.  Greg Mitchell reports that the Clarion Fund, founded by Israeli-Canadian Raphael Shore, is distributing 28-million copies of the anti-Muslim propaganda [...]
