<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong></strong> According to <em>Haaretz</em>, the team will consist of Israelis who speak a second language &#8212; English, French, Spanish or German &#8212; to represent Israel in &#8220;anti-Zionist blogs&#8221;. </span></p>
<p>The aggression against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the Hamas resistance movement left at least 1,300 people dead, and thousands others wounded.</p>
<p>According to the Gaza-based Palestinian center for human rights, only 95 resistance fighters were among the casualties of the 23-day war.</p>
<p>The massive number of civilian casualties in the densely-populated coastal sliver sparked worldwide condemnation.     A fierce controversy was also provoked over the alleged use of white phosphorus, also known by the military as WP or Willie Pete, by the Israeli army in Gaza.</p>
<p>According to the Israeli Immigrant Absorption Ministry, Tel Aviv has sought to negate the bad publicity of its actions in Gaza with the help of an online team.</p>
<p>&#8220;We turned to this enormous reservoir of more than a million people with a second mother tongue&#8221; to contribute to this campaign, the ministry&#8217;s director general, Erez Halfon, said.</p>

Israel’s Government has thrown its weight behind efforts by supporters to counter what it believes to be negative bias and a tide of pro-Arab propaganda.

<p>In the past week nearly 5,000 members of the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS) have downloaded special “megaphone” software that alerts them to anti-Israeli chatrooms or internet polls to enable them to post contrary viewpoints. A student team in Jerusalem combs the web in a host of different languages to flag the sites so that those who have signed up can influence an opinion survey or the course of a debate.</p>
<p>Jonny Cline, of the international student group, said that Jewish students and youth groups with their understanding of the web environment were ideally placed to present another side to the debate.</p>
<p>“We’re saying to these people that if Israel is being bashed, don’t ignore it, change it,” Mr Cline said. “A poll like CNN’s takes just a few seconds to vote in, but if thousands take part the outcome will be changed. What’s vital is that the international face of the conflict is balanced.”</p>
<p>Doron Barkat, 29, in Jerusalem, spends long nights trawling the web to try to swing the debate Israel’s way. “When I see internet polls for or against Israel I send out a mailing list to vote for Israel,” he said. “It can be that after 15 minutes there will be 400 votes for Israel.</p>

<p>I would like to revisit some history I brought up in my post on <a title="Alternative Conservative Movie Review of Constantines Sword" href="http://alternativeconservative.com/2009/01/19/constantines-sword" target="_blank">Constantine&#8217;s Sword</a>, and the statements of Rabbi&#8217;s against Zionism.  Rabbi Weiss has stated Zionism is an expression of nationalism to create a Jewish state.  Judaism is the religion belief held by the Jews.   Rabbi Weiss claims true Jews of the Jewish faith do not support Zionism.</p>
<p>Rabbi Weiss has also stated Zionism was started by Jewish Atheists from areas of Europe like the Soviet Union.  It would appear to be true based on the history below.  Zionism was a movement, not an expression of Jewish faith.</p>

<blockquote><p>The Palestine  problem became an international issue  towards the end of the First      World War with the disintegration of the Turkish Ottoman Empire.  Palestine was among      the several former Ottoman Arab territories which were placed  under the      administration of Great Britain  under the Mandates System adopted by the League of      Nations pursuant to the League&#8217;s Covenant <a href="http://domino.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/85255e950050831085255e95004fa9c3/5e339e9d923e9f72802564b5003eead8?OpenDocument">(Article      22) .</a></p>
<p align="justify">All but one of these Mandated Territories became fully independent States, as      anticipated. The exception was Palestine where, instead of being limited to &#8220;the      rendering of administrative assistance and advice&#8221; the Mandate had as a primary      objective the implementation of the &#8220;Balfour Declaration&#8221;      issued by the British Government in 1917,  expressing support for &#8220;the      establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people&#8221;.</p>
<p>During the  years of the Palestine       Mandate, from 1922 to 1947, large-scale Jewish immigration from abroad,       mainly from Eastern Europe took place, the numbers swelling in the 1930s       with the notorious Nazi persecution of Jewish populations. Palestinian       demands for independence and resistance to Jewish immigration led to a       rebellion in 1937, followed by continuing terrorism and violence from both       sides during and immediately after World War II. Great Britain tried to       implement various formulas to bring independence to a land ravaged by       violence. In 1947, Great Britain  turned the problem over to the      United Nations.</p>

<p>Many of the people in the Bush administration are considered to be Zionists.  People like Richard Perle, and Douglas Feith.  These men helped craft the Iraq War. The Bush administration was waging a holy war, but the target was Muslim’s in the Middle East.  Perhaps this is simply something Carroll neglected to point out.</p>
<p>William Kristol could be considered to be a Zionist, and was a friend to the Bush administration.  Kristol is the Chairman of the <a title=" American leadership is good both for America and for the world; and that such leadership requires military strength, diplomatic energy and commitment to moral principle" href="http://tinyurl.com/pfnac" target="_blank">Project for a New American Century</a>.  An organization dedicated to US world military dominance.  You can watch an interview with William Kristol and Douglas Feith in John Pilgers <a title="Pilger interviews Ray McGovern a former CIA operative who gave the U.S. President his daily CIA intelligence report for 30 years.

<blockquote><p>So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.</p>

<p>Religulous is a movie that&#8217;s funny at times, but Bill Maher has a way of insulting people who don&#8217;t share the correct view&#8211;his view.  It would be good to see the full footage on many of these interviews to see what the people actually had to say who fell victim to this documentary.</p>
<p>I do believe Bill Maher makes some good points, but you can&#8217;t ever get people to listen to you by insulting them.  What Bill does is get people who already agree with him to laugh at the torment they would like to inflict, while driving yet another wedge between Secularists and the Christians.</p>
<p>Even though Bill Maher is an Atheist, he&#8217;s a Zionist.  That strikes me as pretty strange.  Bill Interviews Rabi Weiss, but doesn&#8217;t let the poor guy get a word in edgewise.</p>
<p>I would like to share what Rabi Wiess actually has to say.  I believe Bill Maher slandered the man because he speaks out against Zionism and Atheism.  I find Rabi Wiess&#8217; claim that Zionists are Atheists a bit odd, but man is preaching for peace.</p>

<p>Bill Maher condemns Rabi Weiss for meeting with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad  The problem is we have been lied to about what Mahmoud Ahmadinejad actually has to say.</p>

<p>Aijaz Ahmad courtesy of <a href="http://therealnews.com" title="The Real News is completely funded by public donations - No Government donations - No Corporate donations" target="_blank">TheRealNews.com</a>At the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Israel_Public_Affairs_Committee" title="AIPAC - Pro-Israel Lobby in America" target="_blank">AIPAC</a> conference Barack Obama demonstrates  he&#8217;s trying to outdo McCain and Bush on foreign policy.As stated in this video, who needs Neocons, when we have Liberals like this.Obama told AIPAC he will promote tough sanctions against Iran, whether the U.N. approves of them or not.  Ahmad points out Bill Clinton implemented such sanctions as well, but he only pursued sanctions approved by the U.N. Security Council.</p>
<h3>Pepe Escobar from the Real News</h3>
<p>Barack Obama has the same advisors Bill Clinton had when he implemented the &#8220;Oil For Food&#8221; program.</p>

<p>Were the U.N. sanctions such a great thing?  They didn&#8217;t do much to Saddam, but they did kill half a million Iraqi children.  The U.N. sanctions denied basic necessities like medical equipment, antibiotics, vaccines, cancer  medication, and morphine for dying cancer patients.</p>
<p>Iraq has a lot of cancer patients because the U.S. and Brittan used shells coated with depleted uranium while bombing Iraq, and they did it for years.</p>
