Israel Preparing For a Twitter War
May 25, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
[The Israeli] Foreign Ministry [is] bracing for a flood of pro-Palestinian tweets ahead of the UN session on a Palestinian state. […] Preparation involves constantly monitoring the blogs, tweets and insofar as possible, Facebook entries too..
So how are they going to combat this? Here’s the foreign minister’s spokesman:
We have formulated some arguments that are relevant to what’s going to happen in September, even if we don’t know exactly what it will be. We began disseminating these arguments and statements, backed by links to documents and articles, among the relevant bloggers and social media members.
Yeah, good luck with that..
