Israel is one of the smartest nations on Earth when it comes to media and population interaction.

They do the simple things right, they look at what common folk enjoy and relate to and then stick to that means.

This system being discussed here is nothing but analasis of Facebook, Google + etc. They realised people like status, people like ratings... this just feeds that!

Also, I noticed on the TV that Israel uses Female Army Officers to discuss its military aspects on TV. What a brilliant move.

A female is always warmer, more appealing to the people, more trust worthy and softer to look at it.

I remember the last war Israel had, they would phone up people in apartment complexes a few minutes before they strike and tell them to get out or find cover.

I do not like Israel for a number of reasons but I like the way they conduct themselves in these matters!

Its called Mind-f***ing 101...Israel are the masters of mind-f***ing...

They are intentionally using techniques that garner support not because of legitimate information but because of the IGNORANCE of the viewer/observer....

A female relaying info is no more or less accurate than a man doing so, but we perceive one (out of ignorance) to be more honest...they are using this against people and leading them along to the next level of mind-f*** which is to believe that so long as they warn you they are blowing up your house...that is an acceptable way to "conduct themselves"...forget the fact they blew up your house in the first place...you accept and respect that they "warned" you about it lol...THAT takes some serious mental rearranging to become comfortable with...

The gaming side of their propaganda is utilizing mind-f***ology to the lowest degree....badges, icons, glits and glamor, status, rankings, competition all of it involving primitive psychology to shut of that critically thinking part of your brain.

They are taking what is ultimately a very serious situation of life and death and minimizing it to garner zombified support...

They know that for some people choosing sides is a toss up...and icons, badges, and ranking systems that award support and participation will probably be enough to sway the toss ups to their side...

The genius of this is, people who aren't necessarily interested or passionate about who they are "for" once they pick a side they instantaneously become rabidly passionate about their side...not because they truly agree with it but because they are now defending their ego's need to be right. Add to that the above mentioned primitive factors of competition and and you just created a very ignorant passionate zombie army out of think air...

An army of people who support your cause and world view because of shiny pixels that tell them they are an "elite commander bad-ass"...

Its amazing how peoples principalities and morals instantaneously vaporize once you give them a position of perceived authority...

Absolutely no way to re-rout the argument on this one...this gaming is propaganda at its finest and most obvious...and I believe if one has to use deceit and propaganda that plays on ignorance....one must not truly have a leg to stand on morally or ethically...propaganda is a tool of desperation imho.

Next thing they will do is launch a KICKSTARTER campaign !

Pledge 1000$ or more : write your own message on a bomb !
Pledge 5000$ or more : kill your own Palestinian !

No...they don't have any dignity or shame. Or basic human decency either.

That's the whole problem.
