Israel's new army: Will Jewschool bloggers be recruited?
“Israel recruits ‘army of bloggers’ to combat anti-Zionist Web sites,” Ha’aretz reports:
The Immigrant Absorption Ministry announced on Sunday it was setting up an “army of bloggers,” to be made up of Israelis who speak a second language, to represent Israel in “anti-Zionist blogs” in English, French, Spanish and German.
The program’s first volunteer was Sandrine Pitousi, 31, from Kfar Maimon, situated five kilometers from Gaza. “I heard about the project over the radio and decided to join because I’m living in the middle of the conflict,” she said.

“During the war, we looked for a way to contribute to the effort,” the ministry’s director general, Erez Halfon, told Haaretz. “We turned to this enormous reservoir of more than a million people with a second mother tongue.” Other languages in which bloggers are sought include Russian and Portuguese.

How will we know if Jewschool is targeted? Will we see a list? Or will the “pro-Israel” comments become more literate?
Jewschool will be recruited
If they were smart they’d draft J-Street and you guys
This sounds quite totalitarian, to be honest.

What does, public relations?
censorship.
i tried, as boaz, in your poll to vote that jewschool will be recruited but apparently i did it wrong and it did not count my vote.
Personally I think you should go for both, then you can target yourselves :o)
