What Is IRIS?

Information Regarding Israel’s Security (IRIS) is an independent organization dedicated to informing the public about the security needs of the State of Israel, especially vis-a-vis the peace process.

IRIS was founded in 1993 response to the Oslo peace process. It was one of the first groups to effectively use email to inform the public about the dangers of this peace process, even before there was a World Wide Web. When the Web first gained prominence IRIS was also an early adopter of the new medium to spread its message.

IRIS’s email list still exists. The list, free of charge, distributes news updates and information about Israel with a right-of-center slant (on the Israeli political spectrum). We try to focus on items not likely to be carried by your local newspaper.
