Our Soldiers Speak, an organization founded by Sgt. Benjamin Anthony, is dedicated to educating people around the world about the Israeli-Arab conflict and, hopefully, its eventual peaceful resolution. Sgt. Anthony is a world-renowned lecturer, has served extensively in the Israeli military and utilizes his experiences in his presentations to provide rare insight into the truth about the Israel Defense Forces and its involvement in the ongoing Israeli-Arab conflict. His seminars offer a true-to-life perspective of an Israeli soldier, in an effort to educate various audiences about what transpires on the front lines of battle, as well as to differentiate facts from the context from which the media extracts the actions of the Israel Defense Force (IDF) and perpetuates miscommunications and false images.

Sgt. Anthony’s presentations take place at various institutions and organizations across the globe and include many leading venues throughout the United States, such as regional and national federations, high schools, prestigious colleges and universities, synagogues, business centers, political action committees and also on Capitol Hill. The organization’s mission, as a whole, is to separate fact from sensationalism, to distinguish between perception and reality, and to compare the media headlines to the truth.

Our Soldiers Speak presents a lecture series seeking to instill a sense of hope, equip future generations with the foresight and ability to avoid these types of conflicts, and to promote peaceful resolutions, in addition to facilitating and convening security briefings between active IDF generals and members of the United States Congress.

In continuing with the mission of the organization, Our Soldiers Speak brought Spt. Rosenfeld to the United States to address many organization, including the Orthodox Union, an educational, outreach and social service organization which serves the North American Jewish community

Spt. Rosenfeld formerly served on the Israeli Police Forces (I.P.F.) Counter-Terror Unit (Y.A.M.A.M.) and now serves as the official spokesperson of the I.P.F. His address provided a detailed analyses of Israel’s unique domestic security and terror threats, and discussed the methods through which the I.P.F. counters these threats while preserving the security of the civilian population.
