Propaganda War Rages Online
Your Facebook status is an electronic bumper sticker. Both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict want to use it.
As the military conflict in Gaza heats up, so does the propaganda war. Both sides are using social networking websites to get their message out to as many people as possible.
On Facebook, two Israeli entrepreneurs have created QassamCount. The site asks users to “donate” their Facebook status bars, which are then automatically updated to display the latest tally of Qassam rockets Hamas fires from Gaza into Israel.
A pro-Palestinian group has created a similar Facebook site called “Stop Israel’s War Crimes in Gaza,” that also solicits status bar donations.
Facebook is just part of the equation when it comes to online social activism in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Groups on both sides are also using “micro-blog” services such as Twitter and posting video, some of it shot on cell phones, on sites such as YouTube.
In the video below, FOX field producer David Lewkowict and I surf the web for some examples of the online battle for public opinion.

The doctor who supports the terroists and is a mao supporter shows celearly why the bias is in the news ,i think al the supporters of this terroist group are suspect and should be looked into ,mabey they are gicving more support than anyone realises including the left wing radical news mobs ,it sure looks like it the way they praise hamas ,where is the condemnation of the rockets fired from lebonon??none.
Facebook is not only used as a tool in the propaganda war. It is also used to spread cyber-terror. I received two letters in my inbox, one promising death to all and the other a threat to bomb my house.
Good gooin Fox news. The liberal news media try to bury the facts. This spooky. An example is that left propagandists try to show only that Isreal simply attacked the Hamas. They do not comment on the history of Hamas attacks against Isreal. In particular they have chosen to not mention that Hamas used terrorist bombings and suicide bombers to kill more than 400, and wounded more than 2000 forcing Isreal to build a the walls and border roads to guard isreal. Given this block, Hamas resorted to launching thousands of Rockets supplied by Iran and Seria. This war is far wider than is noted by the liberal news. Because of their failure to report the Hamas butcher of isrreal they are shown to be justified in continuing to remind the world of the Holocost. The liberal and left wing news would allow another holocost against the the jews. This is now shown to be the true fact.
