Peace, Politics, and Propaganda

An Insider’s Look Behind the Scenes at Israel’s Military and Media Battlefields

Looking back on the October 7 war, its military aftermath and its impact on the image of the Jewish state: Did Israel become an international pariah, or did it save the world from Islamic terror and nuclear war?

Gil Hoffman is the executive director of HonestReporting, which fights for Israel in the international mainstream and social media; a lecturer on political strategy at Israel’s College of Management; and served for 24 years as chief political correspondent and analyst for The Jerusalem Post, where he is now a regular columnist.

The Algemeiner website recently named him one of the top 100 people positively influencing Jewish life, alongside presidents, prime ministers and Jewish leaders.

He was raised in Chicago, graduated Magna Cum Laude from Northwestern University’s School of Journalism, and served in the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.

He’s lectured in all major English-speaking countries in the world, more than half the Canadian provinces, and recently made history in Hawaii by becoming the first Israel speaker to have lectured in all 50 states. He lives with his family in Jerusalem.
