HonestReporting’s proud to present Uri Gobey with an iPad for winning the 2011 Pro-Israel Blog-Off.

HonestReporting's Simon Plosker presents Pro-Israel Blogoff winner Uri Gobey with an iPad.

Uri, who blogs as Israel Muse, beat out a pack of bloggers who all posted excellent commentaries, podcasts and videos.

HonestReporting CEO Joe Hyams, who was one of the competition’s judges, said:

HonestReporting is all about getting supporters of Israel engaged online – we are proud to have sponsored an effort getting some of the best bloggers working even harder to generate great content. I hope we have facilitated greater exposure for them, and inspired more readers to frequent those blogs. In the big picture, we need to drive awareness of the value that comes with exposing the best content to those “beyond the choir.”

A big thanks also to IsraellyCool for spearheading the blogoff. I hope we can do it again next year.
