The year 2021 saw a spike in readership during the May 2021 Gaza War and then a decline to much lower levels. The dynamic of Facebook pulling back on showing articles continues to impact readership with Facebook readership down by 50%.
The most popular articles were:
- Excerpt of Hamas Charter to Share with Your Elected Officials
- The Re-Introduction of the ‘Powerful’ Jew Smear
- NY Times Manufactures “Palestinian East Jerusalem” Narrative
- Jerusalem Population Facts
- The Anti-Zionist Lexicon – Vilifying Israel
Overall, there were 158 articles written during the year, averaging about 700 words each.
The top countries reading the articles remained the same as last year: United States, Israel, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa, with South Africa readership declining significantly. The biggest rise in readership came from Ireland, jumping to #7 from 15th place. Other countries with a jump in readership include: Italy, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
The articles are being translated into more languages including German, Dutch and Norwegian. Hopefully more people will translate the pages and repost the articles in the coming year, including into French and Spanish. The only request is to include a link to the original articles.
… and in other blogs
I have now written over 1,000 articles totaling over 860,000 words since May, 2014, without any compensation from advertisements or requests for donations. The only asks are to share the articles with friends and elected officials, and have others subscribe to the blog.
Wishing you a very healthy and peaceful 2022.
