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.
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.

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 download Megaphone Desktop Tool click here [*.exe file for Windows].
For non Windows users and others who would like to to track the alerts
being posted via RSS or the Web, visit this page.
