As the founder of OSS it is my pleasure to welcome you to our organization.
Established as a means of tackling the imbalance that Israel’s soldiers face in the international media, Our Soldiers Speak has one goal; clear and singular – to bring the IDF’s proud truth from the front line of Israel’s battlefields to the people of the Diaspora; wherever and whenever audience is granted.
It is perhaps more important now than ever before that we build clear and direct lines of communication between the soldiers of Israel and those people the world-over with whom they share a common set of values; regardless of religious faith or political perspective.
These lines must be untrammelled by the all too familiar obstacle of poor verbal communication and linguistic barriers.
At OSS, our exclusive policy is to dispatch clear and effective communicators who are capable of bringing the truth to the masses.
OSS offers it’s listeners a rare opportunity to hear an IDF soldier’s true account of real events in clear, fluent, unbroken language.
Through our lectures, we aim to inform, educate and engage with our listeners about the challenges and dilemmas facing Israel’s soldiers on the front line. We highlight their humanity under fire, their courage on the battlefield and the split second decisions they make under circumstances that are unimaginably complex.
Lectures are strictly apolitical and based solely on the first-hand experience of the speaker. Lecturers have extensive experience as combat soldiers and are well placed to comment on news items and headlines as and when they break.
Our Soldiers Speak generates forum in major universities, synagogues, high schools, churches and youth groups across the Diaspora with a view to strengthening the link between the Jewish and non-Jewish Communities outside Israel and her soldiers within.
We emphasise the shared hopes and standards of humanity that the IDF fights to preserve.
Israel’s soldiers are subject to a media onslaught the like of which we have not seen before. We must respond, and respond now. The time to make our case has come. Let us do so proudly and effectively.
We invite your contact and assistance in helping us to deliver our message.
On behalf of OSS, and in the name of those soldiers alongside whom we serve, we look forward to working with you to bring our voice to the world.
Our side, the true side, must be heard.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Anthony (Sgt. Res.),
Founder, Our Soldiers Speak
