The latest news on Israel's e-liars program:
In the cross hairs are problematic blogs, talkbacks, online social networks, online polls, Youtube videos, and more.
The ministry was amazed by the massive response to the effort. More than 1,000 interested applicants contacted them, of which 350 are Russian speakers, 250 English speakers, 150 Spanish speakers, 100 French speakers, and 50 German speakers. [...]
The Absorption Ministry forwarded the volunteers' details to the Foreign Ministry, which briefed them via email and provided up-to-date material on the situation, including video clips that could help them in the field.
While the Absorption Ministry is tasked with recruitment, the Foreign Ministry will be responsible for directing the volunteers online. Each time the ministry identifies an anti-Israel trend on a foreign-language blog, news site, or other website, it will immediately put out a message to the volunteers to flood the site with pro-Israel opinions.
Well that certainly will raise the level of discourse, now, won't it.
It's hard to believe they even feel this is necessary, given that supporters of Israel regularly perform this function without any official prompting. But the totalitarian mind can brook no dissent (or is it that guilty feet have got no rhythm? I can never keep it straight).

These people are all over Truth Dig! And, the usual TDers are lapping it right up, arguing, relentlessly, with people who are so obviously not able to be reasoned with.
Some are sticking up for them, which makes it all the more depresing. Name-calling leads the day. Bigot is the word of choice.
One Zionist was saying,(paraphrase) "..oh, you hate all Jews, we will lose out entire homeland, and you will be the cause..." I said that he sounded like a cliche'---like my brother in law's mother. I got SCREAMED !!!!!!!! at, so I let it go..
The MSM certainly "jumped away" from the drone kilings quickly. There is a good Glenn Greenwald story about it. If my pc will let me, I willl leave a link...I have to go meet my new Medicaid dr., whose name I do not know in advance.....fun.
