WHILE Israel fights Hezbollah with tanks and aircraft, its supporters are campaigning on the internet.
Israel’s Government has thrown its weight behind efforts by supporters to counter what it believes to be negative bias and a tide [...]
So, it’s been almost a week since I published the photos that pissed off many, shamed other, blessed little and stormed others.
More than 4 million hits in 5 days came to this page. Some visitors left comments, other trackback/pingback, etc… Most important is that I left that post open to all good guys as well [...]
