JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel wants to pay university students to post pro-Israel messages on social media networks, and officials say they won't need to identify themselves as government -linked. The Israeli prime minister's office said in a statement Wednesday that students would receive scholarships to engage international audiences online to combat anti-Semitism and calls to boycott Israel. It said students' messages would parallel statements by government spokespeople. An Israeli official said Wednesday that scholarship recipients wouldn't need to identify themselves as part of the program, which would begin within months. He spoke anonymously because the project is still under development. The Israeli daily Haaretz identified the official heading the project as Danny Seaman, a spokesman who has written Facebook posts criticized by the media as being incendiary and anti-Muslim. Seaman declined comment.

USA today is behind on the news Israel has been doing this for over a year now. This is something Israel must do now that the world is starting to see what kind of nation Israel really is.
The officials said the students would stress Israeli democratic values, freedom of religion and pluralism.

However its going to be a tough battle for them on this site, with all the anti West / anti US / anti Israel / pro ignorance groups that have been entrenched on this site for years.

Nobody will take that bait. Because we have enough brains to know that disliking and being critical of the repeated actions of a country has nothing to do with the religion practiced by said country.

I don't need to look at those threads, as I've participated in most of them. And you're wrong. Slapping an anti-semitic label on people critical of Israel is just the same old song and dance. What happened during the holocaust IN NO WAY gives Israel impunity to do whatever the hell they please without criticism. Sure, they get away with whatever they please because they've got the US in their back pocket. But if you think people are just going to shutup while they hold up a sad poster showing holocaust atrocities with one hand while exterminating the Palestinians with the other hand I've got some Ocean Front property to sell you in Iowa.
