Raphael Shore
Raphael Shore is a Canadian-Israeli Orthodox Rabbi, filmmaker and the founder of the far right The Clarion Fund, a front for the 'apolitical' Aish HaTorah, an organization for which he previously worked.[1] Shore is the twin brother of Ephraim Shore, the former head of the Israel lobby media watchdog HonestReporting, also run by Aish HaTorah. Shore has frequently criticized US media for its supposed anti-Israel bias.[2]
Shore's controversial documentary about Islam in America Obsession became the centre of controversy when during the 2008 presidential campaign his organization had 28 million copies distributed to voters in swing states in an apparent attempt to play on fears about Obama's alleged Islamic roots.[3][1]
