~~**NightFall**~~ User ID: 200257 Canada 12/29/2008 11:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey Pa-Poose, nice to see we seem to be populating the same threads. Well, the "real Jews" do not support what Israel has been doing. Israel, the grand eye of the world now rests upon your face. What will you do next? Escalate things? This latest massacre will not go unanswered. |

Israel’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. 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.” Israel’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.” ya awesome news How to destroy them: Start creating topics, dont let THEM create, YOU create the topics and force them to BUMP yours. What will happen? 70% of the people read the first post and the first 3 replies. The vast majority rushes to post their own ideas and never read the never ending replies. We win, they loose. Start posting Pro-Arab, Anti-Israeli posts everywhere. They are PAID we have the SUPRESSION AND TIRANNY giving us the WILL and strenght to post everywhere. Go! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 582024Over the years I have had many dealings with the Megaphone crowd on many forums. As far as presenting "another side to the dabate" I haven't seen it. Instead of agueing the facts my experience is this. You are immediatedly called many names..."anti-semite"..."NAZI"...."Holocaust denier"...."conspiracy nut".....tin foil hat whacko"...etc...etc...etc.. every once in awhile you might actually get into a decent debate but as long as they can make you look silly they tend to act civilized. You make them look silly then the gloves come off and they get down and dirty. Any thread/posts that criticises Israel are jumped on and if there is a "report to moderater" button the mods are flooded with complaints. Many administrators get frustrated and offer them modships hoping to appease them. This begins a series of bannings based on your views of the subject. In extreme cases I have even seen DOS and spam attacks. I really think they see it as another form of battle like they are at war. |
