Before you write this off as another "Jews control the media" theory, hear me out. Our media is strongly in favor of Israel in the Middle-East conference and because of this, very few Americans know about the current pitiful condition of Palestinians... control the media and you control public opinion.

Some clever Israeli's have come up with an "instant alert" program which notifies its users about articles, polls, and web entries about the Middle-East conflict so that they can swamp the websites with pro-Israeli comments. The program has been widely distributed (nearly 30,000 downloads) and its efficacy is staggering.

Check out their website at http://www.giyus. org (I put a space before the .org so that it won't be linked directly to this site). Its also known as the "Israeli megaphone."

So my question is, are there any similar programs around developed for the Palestinian cause? If not, does anybody know of any skilled programmers who would be willing to work on such a project? If we can create a similar program and distribute it globally so that users can effectively relate the Palestinian story in an intelligent and non-inflammatory fashion to major internet media outlets, perhaps we can start changing public opinion. Insha'Allah.

Any thoughts?

Now thats sad.

I was wondering how the isrealis flew in flocks to debates...Its like the come out of nowhere...

Edit: Even the rhetoric is the same...

Thank you for the link brother On their forums they have a "talking points" section...

so this is where all the comments are copied and pasted from...

awesome...I say we use it against them...

I've noticed that any time you google any Islamic terms, the first few hits are always anti-Islamic sites. It can't be coincidence. Maybe these anti-Islamic sites are heavily funded and they can pay google to move up in the ranks? Anyone know>? Is there a way to pay your way to the top?
