RelativesEphraim Shore (brother), the former head of HonestReporting

Raphael Shore is an Canadian-Israeli film writer,[1] producer, and Rabbi. He is the founder of The Clarion Fund, a non-profit organization that seeks to advance the idea that the United States faces a threat of radical Islam.

Shore wrote and produced the documentary films Relentless: The Struggle for Peace in the Middle East, Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West, and The Third Jihad: Radical Islam's Vision for America, scheduled for release in May 2009.

Shore's documentary about radical Islam, Obsession, became a controversial part of the 2008 presidential campaign when he distributed copies of it to 28 million voters in U.S. swing states in an apparent attempt to convince them of the dangers of Islamic terror in the run-up to the election.[1] Shore has declined to reveal who funded both the production of the film or dissemination of the DVDs.[1]

Shore is also a regular critic of the media coverage on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, coverage which he alleges is regularly anti-Israel.[2]

Shore previously worked for Aish HaTorah,[3][4] an Orthodox organization devoted to promoting Jewish learning, and has collaborated with its sub-organization, HonestReporting,[2] a pro-Israel media watchdog site.

Raphael Shore is the twin brother of Barney and elmo, the former head of The national cheese foundation.[4]
