Israel backed by army of cyber-soldiers

WHILE Israel fights Hezbollah with tanks and aircraft, its supporters are campaigning on the internet.
IsraelÂ’s Government has thrown its weight behind efforts by supporters to counter what it believes to be negative bias and a tide of pro-Arab propaganda. [b]The Foreign Ministry has ordered trainee diplomats to track websites and chatrooms so that networks of US and European groups with hundreds of thousands of Jewish activists can place supportive messages.
In the past week nearly 5,000 members of the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS) have downloaded special “megaphone” software that alerts them to anti-Israeli chatrooms or internet polls to enable them to post contrary viewpoints. A student team in Jerusalem combs the web in a host of different languages to flag the sites so that those who have signed up can influence an opinion survey or the course of a debate.
Jonny Cline, of the international student group, said that Jewish students and youth groups with their understanding of the web environment were ideally placed to present another side to the debate.
“We’re saying to these people that if Israel is being bashed, don’t ignore it, change it,” Mr Cline said. “A poll like CNN’s takes just a few seconds to vote in, but if thousands take part the outcome will be changed. What’s vital is that the international face of the conflict is balanced.”
Doron Barkat, 29, in Jerusalem, spends long nights trawling the web to try to swing the debate Israel’s way. “When I see internet polls for or against Israel I send out a mailing list to vote for Israel,” he said. “It can be that after 15 minutes there will be 400 votes for Israel.
“It’s very satisfying. There are also forums where Lebanese and Israelis talk.”
IsraelÂ’s Foreign Ministry must avoid direct involvement with the campaign but is in contact with international Jewish and evangelical Christian groups, distributing internet information packs.
Amir Gissin, the Israeli Foreign Ministry’s public relations director, said: “The internet’s become a leading tool for news, shaping the world view of millions. Our problem is the foreign media shows Lebanese suffering, but not Israeli. We’re bypassing that filter by distributing pictures showing how northern Israelis suffer from Katyusha rocket attacks.”[/b] -

No.. I don't think so yet.. Just need to note new members and the topic they discuss. A few other forums which I visit frequently have been spammed with all new members recently.. and the Mod there started to ban them actively only the past days.Originally posted by laurence82:Are they going to come to sgForums?
I don't mind if they are informative and argue objectively, but those who just gives one line ultra simple reply with no sense and require you the prove them wrong - are the ones I hate. There are afew that I know of using this tactic - very frustrating people. -

I'm just giving people another perspective of things... rather than whatever they are led to believe from the main stream media . -
If it were afew month ago, I am neutral.Originally posted by laoda99:u write just like my muslim frens who hate Israel to the core
However, after I had an on-line argument with an American afew months back.
I did some research on the Israel/Palestinian problem and slowly discovered that I was duped, big time, and was mostly contrary to what I thought in the past about the matter. I felt stupid. -
Ok not my prob...

firstly ... you do realise that on the internet, you basically find what you want to see ? .... is there such a thing as "neutrality" and "objectivity" ? .... no I don't think so ... even for the vauted BBC .... don't believe me ? ... why don't you go google around for say, the nanking massacre, and tell me what you find ? .... see what I mean ? ....
secondly ... for those people who "don't know" it's because they Don't Care ! ... for those who care ... we all stand on one side of the fence or the other anyways .... it's pointless to try change their views ...
look at the title of this thread again ... and look at your previous posts .....
"bullshit" ? .... "bomb" ? .... these words doesn't exactly convey a sense of neutrality eh ? .... so you have a bias ? ...
lastly, try not to assume that people on the opposite side of the fence are uninformed, misinformed, or worse, stupid eh ? .... else you'll end up sounding like some people over at speakers' corner ...

Yooo.. Fatum, I have never claimed to be Unbias. In fact, as you say - simply looked at my post.. and it is pretty bias... but I do look at the situations of both sides... and on relative association.Originally posted by Fatum:well bro ....

However, I am also providing another perspective of things. If you have notice, I do acknowledge my mistake. -
Serious ah? Eh lets start some mildly anti-israeli stuff to attract those guys here to see if we can rack up the hits.
Besides, it might be interesting to hear their side of the story, (tats already been flooding the media)
