If you are like me, you’ve blogged for many platforms (or read blogs on many platforms). The one thing you will see consistently throughout the Jewish blogging world is that the blogs on that platform have an agenda. It might be blatant – that they only offer one view matching their own political and/or religious agenda, or it might be subtle – that they CLAIM they are an open market for everyone’s ideas when in fact, they very quietly manipulate posts or focus and give more time and attention to the ones that support their agenda.

Some favor specific writers, leaving others in darkness. Some outright lie both to their writers and to their supporters, forcing them to write what they want to appear on their site.

All this is why we are launching Israel Blogger – the first true, open, uncensored blogging platform. The editors in this project will not agree with everything that appears on the pages of this site, but it will appear. Each registered blogger will have the option to respond to another – uncensored.

Readers will be welcome, encouraged, appreciated to respond. The only rule for bloggers is a request for respectful dialog; the only rule for commenting…respect. Fight the idea, not the person.

We hope you’ll help support the launching of this site and once it’s up, we hope you’ll visit often, share your opinion and help build a true community out of Israel Blogger – the home to all Jewish and Israeli bloggers!
