The following letter was sent by Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to a variety of pro-Israel organisations, so-called 'hasbara'-groups and other supporters of Israel.

Dear friends,

Many of us recognize the importance of the Internet as the new battleground for Israel's image. It's time to do it better, and coordinate our on-line efforts on behalf of Israel. An Israeli software company have developed a free, safe and useful tool for us - the Internet Megaphone.

Please go to www.giyus.org, download the Megaphone, and you will receive daily updates with instant links to important internet polls, problematic articles that require a talk back, etc.

We need 100,000 Megaphone users to make a difference. So, please distribute this mail to all Israel's supporters.

Do it now. For Israel.

Amir Gissin

Director Public Affairs (Hasbara) Department
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jerusalem

Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs understands that today's conflicts are won by public opinion. They mobilize pro-Israel activists to be active and voice "Israel's side to the world." The Megaphone desktop tool, built by Giyus, which means "mobilization", sends desktop alerts on key articles on Israel and surveys, online polls where activists could click on the button to support Israel and click alerts to easily voice pro-Israel opinions.

The tool tracks down online articles and polls that members should act upon. After installing the tool, members receive alerts on those articles. With this tool Israel's Foreign Ministry obviously thought it would help Israel's fight in cyberspace. However, having used this tool, for others, it is quit useful as well. There is also a weblog and a forum.

To get all the online links, go to the original article here.

What we all need to do is visit there online alerts site here: http://ws.giyus.org/points/list and visit the polls, etc and vote our way.

We really need to start getting organised and combat this propaganda.

This should be our Jihad - a cyber online jihad - that we can conduct with our keyboards.

Hi,

I want to invite you to join Giyus.org and help Israel lose the public opinion front on the Internet.

Here's how it works:

1. Download and install Megaphone desktop tool
2. Receive desktop alerts about key articles and surveys that haven't been biased enough towards Israel
3. Click alerts to easily voice your opinion.

You can help even more by reporting relevant articles or surveys you find to Giyus.org.

The service is completely free and anonymous. Yeah, right.

To join just click the link below (or alternatively copy it to your browser).

This is wrong, that's all I am going to say because I absolutely hate country's that use their population as a dirty tactic in war. It is disgusting.

Do they have an RSS feed, because to be honest, I wouldn't trust installing software on my computer that was designed by the Israeli Military (that and the fact that there's no Mac version).

“One of the greatest tribulations Allah can afflict a servant with is to preoccupy him with the faults of others, and blind him to his own faults.” — Quoted by Imam Zaid Shakir

“If you see an injustice, ACT ON IT, and if you can't do that, then SPEAK ON IT, and if you can't do that, then FEEL IT IN YOUR HEART, it's the weakest form of faith but at least that's a start.” — "Act On It" by The Brothahood
