Background 

The Coalition of Hasbara Volunteers, (CoHaV), is an international umbrella organization for the many volunteer Israel advocacy groups around the world. CoHaV promotes cooperation and networking between its group members, and provides a formidable, one-stop advocacy center for sharing source information, real-time media response, advocacy assistance, and coordination of local and international Israel advocacy and activism campaigns and projects. 

CoHaV functions as a central hub where members exchange information and assistance on a wide range of Israel advocacy and activism issues. In addition, CoHaV provides a forum to discuss ideas about concerted response to media negativity about Israel, and to develop new Israel advocacy campaigns and projects. Members work together on coordinated campaigns, as well as independently, thereby retaining each member's autonomy and specific purpose, outlook and goals. 

Formed in March 2003, under the leadership of Candy Shinaar, CoHaV now has a wide network of grassroots Israel advocacy groups, effectively coordinating the efforts of several thousand activists in Israel, Europe, the UK, Australia, the Americas, and South Africa. 

CoHaV is not affiliated with, nor does it advocate any party political, or religious viewpoint or agenda. 

Our Mission

CoHaV's mission is to facilitate cooperation and coordination between its group members, thereby assisting each group and its individual members to achieve their goals for Israel advocacy, both individually and collectively. CoHaV members endeavor to achieve this goal through various activities including:

  • Public speaking
  • Video production
  • Editorials and publications
  • Information research and report generation
  • Public event organization
  • Liaising with foreign journalists, dignitaries and special interest groups
  • Websites and Web logs (Blogs)
