What do BLOGGER, YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK, and WIKIPEDIA have in common?
Irish Palestine Solidarity

Following
up on yesterdays post
"Is Israel
Controlling the Internet" today we will learn about Israel’s
Government and the IDF attempting to censor and control the
internet, face book, you tube and many other social networks, blogs,
message boards and news organisations. Today I will be discussing
these groups who work online for Israel and the IDF (Israeli Army).
These groups came about after the many genocidal murders committed
by Israel and the IDF. Hundreds of Lebanese, Palestinians being
killed, with the majority of them being innocent civilians, women
and children. Israel need helps to re-create its image worldwide.
What better place than the internet?
Why the internet? Because the internet is a huge echo chamber. It
also influences what news you see on your television or MSM news
sites, like CNN, ABC, MSNBC and CBS for instance. It also influences
what you read in your newspapers worldwide. With today’s 24 hour
news cycle, the need for fresh news is quite important for retaining
viewers and readers. So, many news publications and organisations
turn to the internet to see what the “buzz” is and then report on
that. Also, due to the internets wide range of people and access to
webcams, videos and blogs, many times regular individuals get
important news online before main stream media does. Given these
facts, who ever controls the internet controls the news and
controls the battle for the hearts and minds of the general public.
Hence the creation of JIDF and GIYUS.
Winning public opinion is extremely important, remember Americans
vote, and they could, if organized, exert pressure on their
government and President to stop handing over their hard earned tax
dollars to Israel AND to boot out the Jewish Lobby from American
politics. Which, (AIPAC, ZOA, ADL etc) they all but control at the
American government at this time. They want you to belive that only
little isolated Israel (with the 4th largest army in the world AND
having nuclear weapons) is the only friend America has, and
on this premise, Americans should back everything Israel
does as they are our “friends” (even though they murder American
military and cover it up, see
HERE and
HERE)
Their “job” is to win the battle of public opinion online. In other
words, they want to influence what people think of Israel. So, to
sway public opinion of Israel and it’s war crimes in Lebanon and
Palestine, back in 2000 they decided to create an online
group called JIDF or Jewish Internet Defence Force, to
manipulate polls and message boards and blogs by spamming comments
and votes. However, this has now progressed into removing
sites, videos and blogs that critisize Israel or it's
genocide in Palestine, also sites that are against Zionism, which,
importantly, is NOT the same as being against
Jews!! And there is another group as well, called GIYUS, or
“Give Israel Your United Support”
first look at GIYUS:
GIVE ISRAEL YOUR UNITED SUPPORT
Why do I need to report? GIYUS.ORG spends
a lot of effort tracking down online articles and surveys that
members should
see and act upon. After installing the Megaphone application, you will
receive alerts on these articles so that you can voice your
opinion on
them. You can help even more! Report relevant articles and surveys
to
GIYUS.ORG and help Israel win the public opinion front.
Now lets look at the other group called JIDF, e.g Jewish
Internet Defense Force, sounds very miltary doesn't it
now?
"One of their campaigns has already led to 106
Facebook groups being removed"
“We began to focus on internet companies like Facebook, YouTube,
Wikipedia, MySpace, and Digg,
See here:
The Jewish Internet Defense Force, (JIDF) is approximately 8
years old as a collective of activists and has operated under
the name the "Jewish Internet Defense Force"
The JIDF is involved in mass email campaigns, we work to discuss
the issues on many fronts, in various forums. We report our
concerns of TOS violations to many companies. We advocate for
Israel, and we work to unify our people who share our concerns.
We write emails to the media, to the internet companies, to law
enforcement, and to the government. We also have a major
campaign involving YouTube, where we report hateful videos or
videos which are promoting violence or terrorism. We work to
keep things neutral on Wikipedia,
We have also been a leading pro-Israel force online, and the
success often comes in the form of inspiring someone new, who
eventually becomes a solid soldier in our online army.
So lets just have a look at the groups they target listed below
with excerpts from the JIDF site itself:
FACEBOOK
Through the creation of 4 proactive Facebook groups, The JIDF
initiated a 35 day campaign urging 5,000 people to report all
the following groups. During that time, 106 groups were deleted,
Many more groups crop up daily. Jewish Leadership must
coordinate with the management of Facebook to help develop plans
to fight this problem
YOUTUBE
The JIDF believes the following channels and videos most likely
break YouTube's rules against promoting hatred and/or violence.
As you can see by the amount of channels which have been
suspended we have a pretty good track record. (NOTE:Too many for
me to list here, but take link to see the entire list of
suspended accounts
http://www.thejidf.org/2008/02/problematic-youtube-channels-and-videos.html
scroll down and further down the page you will see the 100’s of
accounts they are currently targeting)
http://www.thejidf.org/2008/02/problematic-youtube-channels-and-videos.html
Below are links and comments pasted exactly from their VERY long
list of youtube users they want suspended, or videos removed.
Admittedly some are from skinheads and truly are racist, but the
vast majority are just normal videos with excerpts from credible
news sources or photos from news sources. Note that the comments
under the links are the actual notes this group has made
regarding the video in the link it wants removed.
Now, this video is a documented media video from a
British reporter and an Israeli Human Rights organisation
no less. And they want to close this person’s youtube
account because they uploaded this video? Why? Because as usual,
the video shows human rights abuses by Israelis, so we can’t
have that now can we?? Even when it’s an Israeli group that
uncovered it and made the documentary, so they attempt to censor
their own people!!
Here’s the video they want to have removed (listed above
from their site)
But, it gets even better, and here’s another one, this is a
RAP music video showing news footage and photos of those
killed by Israel, again, we can’t let the world see
this, they might not like us!! CENSOR CENSOR CENSOR
(NOTE with regard to YouTube the JIDF also work
with an American right wing NeoCon group called “YOU
TUBE SMACKDOWN”http://smackdowncorps.org/
like minds stick together)
WIKIPEDIA
In general, please alert us to any problems of POV-Pushing,
bias, subtle antisemitic jabs and the standard "Jew baiting" so
commonly found on Wikipedia (WP), so we may update this list and
continue cite specific examples. We are also looking to get a
lot more active on Wikipedia, since much has been written about
the problems and many people have pointed out unfair Wikipedia
policies and implementation thereof, especially with regard to
Israel and the Jewish people.
Please keep us posted as to any problems you experience on
Wikipedia as it will aid in our research and approach. Please
enjoy the following list of heavily biased Wikipedia editors. We
have listed their "contributions" from "earliest" to most
recent, since many of them are trying to pretend they are not
biased as of late:
They are targeting several people in Wikipedia, one is an Arab, the
other is a Jew who is against Zionism, here is what they say about
the Anti-Zionist Jew on Wikipedia, notice how other Jews who are not
Zionist fanatics like the JIDF are also targets:
Real name, "Roland Rance" who chairs "Jews Against
Zionism" meetings
"Just look at this user's userpage. Wikipedia is supposed to
have rules against using it for "soapboxing" but apparently they
make an exception in this case"
Here is one of their complaints about Wikipedia:
(By the way, in the current Wikipedia article about Hamas, the
fact that it is a terrorist organization isn't even hinted at
until the 6th paragraph!)
Heaven forbid, we have to get the word "terrorist"
and "HAMAS" in the first sentance,
otherwise it's unfair to poor Israel!! what a load of
bollox! As if people can't think for themselves, we all
need Israel to tell us what to think! Moving on to what the do over
at Blogger:
BLOGGER
Report Jew-Hating Blogs in Less Than a Minute
Click here and then click “submit”
Then come back here and do the same thing with this one.
Do this many times a day. Many days a week and share it with all
your friends and email lists.
The blogs in question are some of the most hateful sites we have
seen and clearly against Blogger’s own rules.
Thanks!
Don’t think they are serious about closing blogs, webpages,
facebook, and youtube accounts and more?
They even invented software to use to make their censorship
work easier, it is called “megaphone”, and
endorsed by the IDF (Israeli army) and government!
See here:
Megaphone desktop tool
From Wikipedia:
The Megaphone desktop tool is a Windows
"action alert" tool developed by Give Israel Your United Support
(GIYUS) and distributed by World Union of
Jewish Students, World Jewish Congress, The Jewish Agency for
Israel, World Zionist Organization, StandWithUs, Hasbara
fellowships, HonestReporting, and other pro-Israel public
relations, media watchdog, or activism organizations.
The tool delivers real-time alerts about key articles,
videos, blogs, and surveys related to Israel or the Arab-Israeli
conflict, especially those perceived by GIYUS to be highly
critical of Israel, so that users can vote or add
comments expressing their support of Israel. The tool was
released in July during the 2006 Lebanon War.
According the Jerusalem Post, Amir Gissin, head of the
Public Affairs Department of the Foreign Ministry of Israel, has
expressed support for the tool's use. "The Foreign Ministry
itself is now pushing the idea, urging supporters of Israel
everywhere to become cyberspace soldiers in the new battleground
for Israel's image."

So, if you can't win the public hearts and minds by
doing the right thing, then just CHEAT
CHEAT CHEAT, CENSOR CENSOR CENSOR
And a little tidbit from the Jpost on JIDF. Notice that this JIDF
group infiltrated and then took over a FACEBOOK
group using some type of software, because they did not like the
answer they got from FACEBOOK when they complained. The group,
according to FACEBOOK was a political discourse group, and
as such, FACEBOOK refused to close it down. So the JIDF took action
themselves. See here:

Jewish Internet Defense Force 'seizes control' of
anti-Israel Facebook group
In the JIDF's latest efforts, the group has been working around
the clock to dismantle the group on Facebook titled, "Israel is
not a country! Delist it from Facebook as a country." That group
had tens of thousands of members.
Facebook's negligence and abdication of responsibility
gave us no option but to take matters in our own hands," the
JIDF added.
The JIDF would not specify what technological methods it
used to gain access to the group, but said it succeeded
in doing so after the old administrators left.
The JIDF received a response from Facebook, he said,
which called the anti-Israel group "legitimate political
discourse." Facebook was not available for comment.
"[The JIDF] gained control of the group without compromising
Facebook's security," Oboler said. "What they have done... is
taken away the hate that was spreading through [the group's]
membership. It's a shame that Facebook themselves did not remove
it. It has taken a lot of effort from [the JIDF], while it would
have taken Facebook one click."
The JIDF said its efforts are not limited to Facebook,
but extend to anti-Semitism and anti-Israel posts found
throughout the Internet, including on sites such as Google,
Google Earth, YouTube and Wikipedia.
Remember this, he who controls the internet controls the news and
controls the battle for the hearts and minds of the general public.
If any of this makes you angry or outraged, write to your
Elected Representatives and demand that Israel stop censoring the
internet. Who made them “Judge, Jury and Executioner”
We are all intelligent enough to make up our own minds *if*
we are allowed to see unfettered information ourselves, why
is Israel so worried? Because the internet is the LAST place news is
free and where news can freely be put online for all to see.
Don’t’ let Israel gain control of what you see, hear and read.
America must stop being Israel’s “poodle”
