Israel to recruit volunteer info warriors

Ha´retz: Israel is recruiting an 'army of bloggers' with foreign language skills to combat anti-Zionist sites




The info war over Gaza intensifies. As Israeli daily Ha´aret reports, the "Immigrant Absorption Ministry" announce they are setting up an "army of bloggers," to be made up of Israelis who speak a second language, to represent Israel in "anti-Zionist blogs" in English, French, Spanish and German.

The volunteers are asked to get in touch with the ministry via email. Currently the government is recruiting Israelis primarily, but surely there will be plenty of dedicated followers of info wars in a certain central European country to apply for a position were they can finaly prove their loyalty to Israel and rid themselves of guilt; short of having to take up real arms.

Five minutes raking through here and you'll find plenty of evidence they have been long in existence.

It is regular vacation work for Israeli students studying abroad, during the summer they monitor the media and anyone who is in the slighest way critical of Israel gets hounded, letters phone calls and general harassment. Why do you think the BBC's reporting is so "balanced" ? If they mention Palestinian casualties they have to mention Israeli casualties, even if there have been no Israeli casualties for weeks.
The BBC receive sack fulls of mail from the Israeli "lobby" complaining about the bias coverage.
The bigger the lie the more people will believe it. Keep repeating "we are the victims" for long enough and sure enough ..

Maybe anti-Zionists could get employment with them and post anti-Zionist comments instead!

As if the world wasn't fed up enough with the lies peddled by the Israeli government... this kind of nonsense will only make people even more angry. It is time to cut all diplomatic and economic ties with this disgusting state.

Anti-Israel is not Anti-Jew

Pay?

Sadly not or we could have set up a syndicate and get money for arguing with each other, then donate it all to ISM and other humanitarian causes.

Anti-Israel is not Anti-Jew: totally agree, but unfortunately there is a nice little military-industrial complex which attracts a lot of party donations and personal gain in being a political 'Friend of Israel'... there is less than fuck all self-aggrandisement and largesse in being a human with a conscience...
