Remember, in the Jan 2009 Gaza onslaught in which Israel used chemical weapons on an unarmed population, there was a similar disinformation program launched on popular sites like Facebook and YouTube to present a white-washed account of Operation Cast Lead.
"Thought-police is here"
"The Foreign Ministry unveiled a new plan this week: Paying talkbackers to post pro-Israel responses on websites worldwide. A total of NIS 600,000 (roughly $150,000) will be earmarked to the establishment of an “Internet warfare” squad.
The Foreign Ministry intends to hire young people who speak at least one language and who study communication, political science, or law – or alternately, Israelis with military experience gained at units dealing with information analysis.
The sad truth is that had Israeli citizens believed that their State is doing the right thing, they would have made sure to explain it out of their own accord. Without being paid. "

I'm surprised this article is even on Current TV's website. Current TV has the most biased, un-journalistic content when it comes to reporting on Israel. There has never been a documentary (at least that I can remember) that highlighted how Israel's 'anti-terror' programs are not only missing 'terrorists' but actually punishing innocent Palestinians and is starting to look like a tool for a passive genocide against Palestinians. Current TV is very pro-Israel and their programming illustrates that to a T. That is one of the major reasons I stopped watching Current. They try to pride themselves on bringing 'non-mainstream' news but, when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they are not better than CNN, FOX News, MSNBC or the rest.

This is because Israel cannot and will not stand for thousands to voice their dissent against what it has done.
In fact, it has become the ENEMY, perpetrating crimes very similar to what was done to its own people for centuries.
Israel is out of control. Now they want to be the Thought-Police???? Plllllease!
