6. #2 do you think they will take you?
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (01.29.09)
This excellent initiative is sponsored by the Foreign Ministry headed by Kadima leader Tzipi Livni. It is possible that the workers are forced to write Talkbacks that are on line with her political aspirations and support Kadima.
7. Yeah....
Israel   (01.29.09)
I am so happy to see this article. I felt like this is exactly what we were lacking in all of our "war strategies". This is a very important aspect as human beings are so emotional and easily influenced.

10. Good morning Jews!
Oren ,   Holon   (01.29.09)
C'mon guys, I've been doing this forever. 'Bout time you realize how dangerous and easy the potential to spread hate is for over 1.2 Billion Muslims. After all, there are only about 14 million of us.
11. What about the government's pro-Palestinian state opinions

15. To be really efficient
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (01.29.09)
You need first to ask most of the ministers to keep silent, Israeli journalists no to criticize whatever is done and sue a few leftist and Israeli ONG.
16. UK
Yalla Habibi ,   UK   (01.29.09)
blogs and facebook - stop the war, gaza solidarity, the student sit ins and occupations of faculties across the UK as well as the issue of the BBC not showing the gaza appeal. This requires comment. Get to it!

18. Bloggers
Judy ,   China/Israel   (01.29.09)
About time!!! My advice is to keep the argument simple(noone has more concetration than a sound bite) ! Israel was attacked 1948 after UN vote and Arab countries stayed officially at war All arguements that start after that are against the very existence of the State 2Historically all attempts to come to a peace treaty were refused except after a long while for Egypt and Jordan who elegantly disposed of their Palestinian populations(why?) 3Finally moderate Arab states have come round to the dangers of extremism(what took them so long?) 4Challenge the biased media coverage with the lack of real knowlege 5Acknowledge the problematics of the borders and refugees etc Be polite but firm Good luck
19. #6 Israel Israeli.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.29.09)
They don't have to take me - I do it anyway on a number of blogs & sites, primarily in Arab countries.

Sophie ,   Metar   (01.29.09)

28. What a joke.
The world   (01.29.09)
Yes, it's already clear some Israeli PR has showed itself already on BBC over the past week and other talkbackers are aware of it there. What does that change? What's its influence? It makes people think even more that Israelis behave shamelessly. In the end, these PR bloggers write in masses, but they are the only ones to read what they write, they are the only ones to believe what they write. Israel has completely lost hearts and minds campaign around the world with the latest Gaza operation. Israel is creating its own circle and get itself jailed in it by closing itself to critism and believing unquestionably that they are always right.
29. Try "the Shapira list"
Dana Kalinksky ,   London, UK   (01.29.09)
During the Gaza war the foreign ministry worked very effectively through "the Shapira list" - many of my friends joined it. I don't know if it's a formal activity, but I registered by emailing yairshapira1@gmail.com and received daily emails.
30. Send them to the Guardian one of the worst anti-israeli site
IloatheTheGuardian ,   Israel Jerusalem   (01.29.09)
A brilliant idea,what took you so long.Send them to the Guardian it is a nasty anti-Israeli site,Jews and Israelis are the worst offenders,they are the ones that write the nastiest articles about Israel.Good Luck.
