Israel’s cyber-psy-ops

The following comment came from one of the blog’s readers on the posting I put earlier on the Israeli psy-ops:

To all.
I would like to inform you that your message board has been hijacked by giyus.org. This is a Zionist internet computer system designed by the Israeli government to attack any criticism to Israel and its madness. On this website they have a program which I downloaded and installed that gives to the user any updates on conversations, online polls, newspaper clips or blogs in which Israel is being discuss especially in a critical way. Then they urge you to respond. This creates a perception that more people than in reality agree with Zionism and Israel in general. This is how I got to this blog. Please download the program yourself and let everyone know that Israel has hijacked their legitimate discussion to create “false� public opinion.
GIYUS.ORG = Zionist propoganda

  1. Yes but the troll commenters I’m getting are so moronic that they inspire wonderful responses.

    I don’t want them on my site, naturally, but they aren’t much of an argument for the merits of the IDF side.

  2. Leila is right, the geniuses that these tools seem to be directing to Arab-oriented blogs usually just spout elaborate conspiracy theories for how Hezbollah is using civilians as human shields and preventing them from leaving or say things like “Muslims are terrorists and deserve to die.” Ignore them and they’ll go away.

    Martin Kramer must be so excited about that new GIYUS software.

  3. It is more difficult to defend the Israeli position on the day of a massacre like Qana, but this is just to let you know that I for one was not sent here to defend the Israeli position. Rather, I am an Arabist who enjoys reading the Arabist blog, and simply have a different take on the course of the events.

    I don’t intend to go away, though…

  4. […] Also, I followed up on an item posted on Arabist, and found GIYUS an alarming but extremely effective tool. I wonder why Arab developers haven’t coded something similar. I’m sure we have the talent, and hell, Arabs love this stuff. Instead of exchanging emails I mean. […]
