05-Jul-16: Our role in the Best Blog of 2016 Hasby Award [VIDEO]

This is not, in fact,
Elder of Ziyon

Over at the website of the estimable Elder of Ziyon, there's a report about Sunday evening's star-studded, celebrity-rich, paparazzi-covered ceremony on an insiders-only secret Jerusalem rooftop with a stunning view of the city for this year's highly coveted Hasby Awards.

Click here for the Jerusalem Post's coverage which calls it "the banner event for those in the pro-Israel-sphere". It was that and more.

The winner of the Best Blog trophy in last year's 2015 Hasby Awards was the very blog you are now reading, This Ongoing War. In consequence of that honor, Arnold Roth was invited to be the presenter of the 2016 Best Blog award which he handed to Vic Rosenthal for his really fine work at Abuyehuda.

Here's Elder of Ziyon's report of that award.

In recognition of the highly-secret true identity of the mysterious, omniscient, all-powerful, many-thousands-of-years-old Elder of Ziyon, the video clip recording Arnold's speech and then Vic's concise, but excellent, overview of the importance of explaining Israel's positions starts with audio only. That's because Elder was standing in front of the camera in those first moments.

Here's the clip:

Not for the first time, Elder of Ziyon and his vast and super-competent staff are owed a serious debt of gratitude for his/their initiative, energy and serious sense of fun.

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
