Israel backed by army of cyber-soldiers!?

WHILE Israel fights Hezbollah with tanks and aircraft, its supporters are campaigning on the internet.

Israel閳ユ獨 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 閳ユ笗egaphone閳?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.

hmmm, my suspects on Yahoo Q/A are: Ah-Ha, Andy_g, and Shiraz.

Other Replys:I wouldn%26#039;t doubt what you are suggesting. But I think every nation has some sort of support organization that does that. And no I%26#039;m not a cyber-soldier.

Other Replys:You forgot the commercials they%26#039;re running on TV. I think it%26#039;s pathetic that they need this kind of propaganda to get people to see their point of view. Intelligent people should make up their own mind based on the facts.
