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

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.”

The real war is not being fought on the ground, but between humanity's ears.

f being a normal American means "my president, right or wrong,'' then I do not want to be a normal American.

If being a normal American means supporting Jewish fascism, then I do not want to be a normal American.

If being a normal American means supporting ethnic cleansing, taking other people's land and killing innocents, then I do not want to be a normal American.

If being a normal American means unleashing the machinery of war against unarmed populations and rationalizing civilian "collateral damage," then I do not want to be a normal American.

If being a normal American means cavalierly putting the label of terrorist on people's foreheads to justify killing them, then I do not want to be a normal American.

If being a normal American means bigotry, prejudice and devaluing the lives of peoples in faraway places whom I do not know, then I do not want to be a normal American.

You rock!!

Guess what antisemitic crypto-Nazi deranged madman? You're far more stupid than cattle. And cattle aren't deranged unless they contract that bovine disease brought on by the spray applied to their backs against the warble fly.

To reiterate: most gentiles are people. Some gentiles, like you, are more beasty than cattle.

Original:

>If being a normal American means supporting Jewish fascism, then I do not want to be a normal American.

Zionist forgery:

>If being a normal American means supporting Arab fascism while objecting to Jewish fascism, then I do not want to be a normal American.


Once again they demonstrate what fundamentally dishonest people they are:

Sometimes they take something that an anti-Zionist has written, subtly alter its meaning by changing a few words, and post it under the name of the original author.

I wonder what they are so scared of?

They're afraid of what we'll do to them when we finally wake up.

Drop Israel like a hot potato. Stop sending them money, technology and arms. Stop buying their exports. Declare a weapons embargo and enforce it with a naval blockade.

If you notice the forgery that inserts the 'arab fascism' tripe, the link is bunk. Here is the link for the letter in todays SF chronicle that has the actual letter. The words used by the real letter witer are anti-zionist, but don't believe me, see for yourself.

But you and your like-minded are in the glaring minority. And the pro-Israel side isn't letting you gain virtually any ground beyond your sphere of influence. The majority of US taxpayers disagrees with your position and statement of intent. How you can bring about a weapons embargo and enforce it with a naval blockade is beyond comprehension therefore. Your personal boycott won't even leave a tiny scar on Israel's economy. Even if you can influence foreign policy so as to make the Administration stop supplying Israel with money, arms and technology, Israel will drop its citizens' leisure index a few notches but will produce its own arms and fill the technological gap and mobilize world Jewry to fill in the fiscal void until it stands on its own feet. Ergo, your threats are not intimidating in the least.

That's why they are laughed at and not taken seriously, no matter how much the desperately troll and propagandize, they are destined for failure as they chase their tails in utter futility.
LMFAO!

I just went to the link from the anti-zionist and it was legit, whereas the zionist forgery link was bunk.
Thanks for the heads up.

"How you can bring about a weapons embargo and enforce it with a naval blockade is beyond comprehension therefore."

This isn't even pertinent. One zio asked the original poster what he would do, and he gave an effective no-bullshit answer. The zios just couldn't stand that, so they pulled new "issues" out of thin air to bark and bitch about. This is what they do with 95% of their "rebuttals." They just leap for a new rathole. If it's blatantly dishonest and arrogant behavior, hey that's zios for you.

When some "zio" tries to give 'nessie' a reality check in a rather calm manner devoid of rah rah rah that typifies your bug-eyed fanatic hatist ravings, just accuse him or her of "slinking down another rathole". If memory serves correctly, the other "zio" also dared 'nessie' to furnish us with at least one Zionist who's afraid of him or his threats, yet he couldn't rise to the challenge. The bullshit you fail to notice even though it lays in plain sight five inches from you is the fact that 'nessie' is virtually powerless to effect the changes he desires. Basically you're indignant that his tactics have been shown to be inaffective.

We are not powerless.

We have to change the media, and like in other countries, where the media is less biasedtoward the right wing, pro-israel, prowar loons, we see a difference in public opinion. There are plenty of grassroots movements out there working on the piss poor media here in the U.S.

I find it hard to believe that there are Americans here who support the Israeli and the Zionist terrorists.

Israel has no right to act like crazy lunatics and they're doing it.

I applaud all resistance fighters as they the only sane route in the middle eastern region.

We are ufortunate to have a chimpanzee-in-chief that dumb trailer trash voted in because they are incapable of critical thinking, President in George W Bush. We were very ulucky to have a man of this caliber following on the heels of the anotherpolitician cut out of the same cloth--maybe a bit smarter than dubya but who isn't?

Afghanistan and Iraq have been ruined and are total chaos now.. Let's hear it for George (endless gunfire).

I'm hoping the same won't happen with Syria and especially Iran. There are crazy terrorist supporters in charge of the U.S. and Israel and they need to be taken down.

It really saddens me to see that there are terrorist supporters in the Unitied States of America--and they vote Republican. I'm speaking of loonies like Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rummy,Dershowitz, etc. and the trailer trash religious sheep who walk vote for these filth.At least there are some people who have brains, you will see them with signs saying 'no war for oild' and the like. Right wing jingoistic moonbat people are a disgrace to themselves, their families, their race, their country, their planet, their solar system, etc.

Only in America and only for the moment. In th world, we are already the majority. In the America of tomorrow, we will be the majority soon enough, for with it's endless lies and fathomless brutality, Israel is digging its own grave.

QANA: The bodies were carried into daylight one by one, all gray-skinned with dust, one small boy his mouth stuffed with dirt, a stiffened arm pointing accusingly into the air. Wasps and flies buzzed with greedy excitement around his face and blood-sodden hair. "It's Ali Shalhoub," muttered an onlooker as the child was placed on a stretcher and carried away.

Ten years after Israeli forces slaughtered more than 100 civilians sheltering in a United Nations base in Qana, mass death has visited this straggly hill village once again.

"Where is the humanity? Why are these massacres being committed against civilians?" asked Naim Raqa, the head of the Lebanese Civil Defense unit in the nearby village of Jawaya, who was assisting in the rescue operation.

There were dozens of people drawn from two extended families sleeping on the ground floor of an unfinished house when an Israeli jet dropped two bombs on them, destroying most of the building and crushing at least 60 victims under rubble and dirt. Only eight people managed to survive the massive double blast and haul themselves from beneath the debris.

It was the bloodiest moment so far in Israel's 19-day onslaught against Lebanon.

The half-finished three-story house belonged to Abbas Hashem and lay at the end of a

narrow lane that winds down a hillside flanked by olive groves and small tobacco patches.

The Hashem family and their close neighbors, the Shalhoubs, had moved onto the ground floor 10 days earlier, hoping that a large pile of dirt and sand for construction would help protect them from the heavy artillery bombardments and repeated air strikes in and around Qana.

Although most residents of this village of some 12,000 people had already fled to Tyre, 10 kilometers to the west, or headed further north, the Shalhoub and Hashem families had found themselves cut off.

"We couldn't get out of our neighborhood because there are only two roads leading out and the Israelis bombed them both several days ago," said Mohammad Shalhoub, a disabled 41-year-old who was recovering in Tyre's government hospital.

Both families were asleep when the two bombs dropped hit the building in rapid succession at 1 a.m.

"I felt the blast throw me across the room. I was buried under the rubble along with the martyrs," Mohammad said.

Mohammad's wife, Rabab, hauled him clear of the debris and rescued their son, Hassan, 4, but his daughter Zeinab, 6, was left dead under the rubble. He also lost his sister, Fatmeh, and brother, Tayseer.
