Students offered grants if they tweet pro-Israeli propaganda - Polidicks

[quote] In a campaign to improve its image abroad, the Israeli government plans to provide scholarships to hundreds of students at its seven universities in exchange for their making pro-Israel Facebook posts and tweets to foreign audiences. The students making the posts will not reveal online that they are funded by the Israeli government, according to correspondence about the plan revealed in the Haaretz newspaper. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, which will oversee the programme, confirmed its launch and wrote that its aim was to “strengthen Israeli public diplomacy and make it fit the changes in the means of information consumption”.

This will just ruin things for people who are actually pro-Israel, as everyone will assume they're just being paid under this programme.

they really are shooting high with grants though tbh, they could have people doing this for peanuts [editline]14th August 2013[/editline] if you pay peanuts you get monkeys, if you pay grants you get media studies students. i dont know which id prefer to have in charge of my propaganda

[QUOTE=Turing;41839583]was /pol/ really right this time jidf could be anywhere it could be any one of us shills... shills everywhere[/QUOTE] It's nonsensical to think there are shills for Israel lurking around every corner. Israel doesn't need shills to spread the word, thousands of satisfied visitors do it themselves without financial compensation. Israel is a vibrant country with sights to see and things to do for men and women of all ages.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;41840305]Which ended up with us talking with them and not knowing anything about it. JIDF is more a post comment, mindlessly defended, and screw up polls kind of thing. I think they had a desktop program notifying you to vote on polls and what not.[/QUOTE] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaphone_desktop_tool[/url] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4f/Megaphone_screenshot.jpg[/img] They really have an array of propaganda tools.

I'm going to get sooooo many grants. [editline]14th August 2013[/editline] [sp] if only it was offered in the US :c [/sp]

[QUOTE=Turing;41839583]was /pol/ really right this time jidf could be anywhere it could be any one of us shills... shills everywhere[/QUOTE] JIDF is on facepunch too, believe it or not.

I'd love it if humanity could just view one another as human beings instead of whites or blacks or jews or whatever the fuck. There are obviously differences, yes you can categorize people, but its not hard to just get over it and avoid potentially damaging behavior.

Damn, through away morals to become a shill for money? Tempting.

JIDF is mostly a single guy on twitter.

i'd tweet anything i'm told if it would get me in a good university [editline]15th August 2013[/editline] but then again i'm a selfish moral-less scumbag so yeah

[QUOTE=Chaplin;41842508]Would you tweet that you're eating dirt[/QUOTE] yes

i'm just that edgy [editline]15th August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=RichyZ;41842511]would you tweet that you would you know what the you know who of the you know whats?[/QUOTE] maybe

[QUOTE=Comcastic;41840657]JIDF is on facepunch too, believe it or not.[/QUOTE] I think we should support Israel.

[QUOTE=Turing;41839583]was /pol/ really right this time jidf could be anywhere it could be any one of us shills... shills everywhere[/QUOTE] Wasn't JIDF revealed to be just one guy?

[QUOTE=Rageblood;41842530]I think we should support Israel.[/QUOTE] Same here, there's too much of an unwarranted anti-Israel sentiment on Facepunch.
