"American Voices in Israel" Propaganda Machine
The neo-con/Zionist machine is a nonstop influence peddling machine. Their analysis is this: if their movement captures Washington, leading radio and TV broadcast journalists, as well as the national fundamentalist preachers such as Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Frank Graham (Billy Grahams son), they put the country into an "iron triangle" of influence which no White House will dare challenge. So far, their strategy has worked beyond their wildest dreams.
American Voices In Israel is a clever "media capture" grouping which flies media personalities, such as radio talk show hosts, to Israel where they are recruited to and fortified in their neo-con Zionist worldview.
They describe themselves, in their own words, as follows:
"SHARING THE TRUTH ABOUT ISRAEL
The America's Voices organization is on the forefront of Israel's hasbara (public relations) efforts. Sending American radio talk-show hosts to Israel gives them the opportunity to share with their listeners the realities of the situation on the ground. When America's Voices hosts are not in our state-of-the-art Jerusalem studio delivering cutting edge programming about Israel, they are busy taking guided tours throughout the country to experience firsthand what life is like in the Jewish State.
The broadcasters also meet with political, business, and cultural leaders to find out how Israeli society functions under the constant threat of terrorism. In essence, hosts deliver to their audiences the truth about Israel by serving as their 'eyes', while visiting the Holy Land.
For less than the cost of a 1/4 page ad in the New York Times, your community can send
an American Voice to Israel and help reach up to tens of millions of Americans. This year
alone, America's Voices programs have already positively influenced more than 50 million
people across the United States. Don't let your community be left behind!

Their leadership has media billionaires such as Mort Zuckerman, whose name you see below:

Oliver North in Israel
"America's Voices in Israel is a recently established, US-based, not-for profit organization that brings American radio talk show hosts to Israel to broadcast their shows back home.
America's Voices was founded and is chaired by Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. It is supported by groups including the America-Israel Friendship League and The Jerusalem Post. Board members include David Fishof, George Hiltzik, Howard Jonas, Harvey Kaylie, Ronald S. Lauder, Yube Levin, Nina Rosenwald, Jay Schottenstein, Jim Tisch and Mortimer B. Zuckerman.
America's Voices is working to enlist talk radio in the battle for Israel's image.
"It is by far the most effective and affordable vehicle in the American media arsenal," Hoenlein says.
