The author introduces GIYUS (Give Israel Your Support), a special program developed to help media-volunteers efficiently monitor news groups and internet forums and respond to them.
He quotes a copy of an email (emphasis mine) which one of the author’s acquaintances has received as an encouragement to take part in this sort of campaign. He also links to a ready to use, bullet-form cheat sheet prepared by Israel foreign ministry as an aide for online rebuttals in the recommended websites such as BBC, Guardian, Dutch Telegraf (note it comprises mostly European media, as they probably feel secure enough about their image in the U.S)
"
Dear friends, We hold the military supremacy, yet fail the battle over the international media.
We need to buy time for the IDF to succeed, and the least we can do is spare some
(additional) minutes on the net. The ministry of foreign affairs is putting great efforts
in balancing the media, but we all know it’s a battle of numbers. The more we post,
blog, talkback, vote – the more likely we gain positive sentiment.I was asked by the
ministry of foreign affairs to arrange a network of volunteers, who are willing to contribute
to this effort. If you’re up to it you will receive a daily messages & media package as well as
targets.If you wish to participate, please respond to this email"
The author enumerates recommended pro-Israel hyperlinks to some of the key videos in Youtube and CNN to be used as needed.
Without researching, I am sure this is true. And while this communication hasn’t reached every Jew, I’m sure its reached Fatdoggy and Willrace4Israel.
We would all be amazed to know how united Jews are towards Israel. They have a common bonding to never let anyone take advantage of them like it happened in the holocaust, and to make se their homeland survives.
The joke in all this is that not only did God give them Israel’s land, but he also gave it to the Arabs.
Anyway, for all of you out there, don’t let the talking points from their script fool you. They would like nothing more than to kill every palestinian man woman and child. Without prejudice.
"They would like nothing more than to kill every palestinian man woman and child. Without prejudice. "
What on earth would make you say this? I’ve seen plenty of hate on both sides on this conflict, and plenty of rhetoric from the Israeli side for sure, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone call for the extermination of all Palestinians. Even among the Palestinians, most don’t favor the complete extermination of all Jews.
You sometimes make a good point or two, and then ruin it with these kinds of baseless and ridiculous assertions.

Since you singled me out above I’d just like to tell you to go fuck yourself.
You know, you were making some intelligent comments and then you come out with this. I dont know if by “they” you mean every Jew or Israeli but its an outrageous comment and bigoted at the least. I am Israeli and a Jew and have never once wanted to kill all the Palestinians. if it were up to me we wouldnt have to battle against even one…the choice was not exclusively ours.
And by the way- the majority of Pro Palestinian organizations outside of Palestinian areas are either found by, or run by Jews. Explain that?
I give you a quote by Golda Meir that fundamentally expresses the difference between our view of human life and theirs:
“We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”
I would imagine that whichever group opposes Israel will have exactly the same program on as well. No news here I think.
To support your imagination, please produce evidence for (any of) the followings:
a software developed specifically for enhancing the efficacy of Palestine supporters.
any form of summoning for online campaign correspondence, released by Palestinian authorities.
any pamphlet released by Palestinian foreign ministry similar to that of their Israeli counterpart
any media tycoon that has mutual interests with people of Gaza
The article you posted makes no mention of any type of “software.”
2 and 3. You’re really not saying that the palestininans/hamas don’t engage in their own propaganda, are you? Even the good ol Christian Nation of the USA has done this type of stuff and not just to sway public opinion on military action.
Huh? I saw no mention of any “media tycoon” in the link posted. If I missed that please let me know.
1. The article you posted makes no mention of any type of "software."
It does. I even provided the link for it in the summary: http://giyus.org/

Palestinians and those who feel they are being oppressed and their basic human rights are being violated, do engage in raising awareness on the issue. Especially since Israel has banned the international media from entering the battlefield. However, I have neither seen any form of government, organizing them, nor have I encountered any specific advisory on prioritizing the websites to deluge with a predefined agenda.

You are right, this is not mentioned in the article. However, this was in response to the assertion made by russ about both sides having “exactly the same program”. I am not able to infer that equivalence logically, unless they both receive the same magnitude of media support. They don’t. (hint: FOX News et al. do not support Palestinians).

Ah…you’re correct. I did not see that http://giyus.org/ was an actual program users could download. Thanks for clearing that up.
Still, media manipulation and propaganda is not unique to Israel, Hamas, USA etc. Organizations will use whatever tools are at their disposal to try to get their message out there.
Obviously you didn’t get the email because you are not winning any hearts and minds.
I’m waiting to get involved in the “YaHey is a moron” campaign, but I see you’re handling that propaganda campaign just fine on your own.
“Anyway, for all of you out there, don’t let the talking points from their script fool you. They would like nothing more than to kill every palestinian man woman and child. Without prejudice.”
No, the American Nazi party hates jews, muslims, blacks, mexicans, puerto ricans… Pretty much anyone. I, on the other hand, do not hate or even dislike jews. I have never uttered a negative word about judaism. My comments have all revolved around the coutry of Israel and the impact on palestinians. Fanaticism, one sided views, nationailsm, and all sorts of extremism makes people do terrible things. I completely denounce all crimes committed by any arab (hamas or otherwise) against any innocent israeli (jewish, christian, or muslim).
I should point out that my desire to not support Israel has caused people to call me anti-semite. That is just plain idiotic.
I am sorry. I didn’t realize a statement like this…
