Israel’s biggest bully, The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, just visited the UN to speak at the General Assembly. How lovely. Thankfully, there are activists all over the web who are voicing their outrage and speaking their mind. For those of you still throwing staplers and keyboards at your screens, it might be time to roll up your sleeves and become an online Israel activist.

Honest Reporting and Stand with Us just put together a 24 page guide to Pro-Israel activism on the internet. The guide is especially helpful for beginners, who are trying to sort out how to read the mountains of Israel-related news on the web, and then decide what action to take – commenting, blogging, digging, stumbling, etc. You can read the activism guide PDF here. Also, check out israelplug’s How to get a pro-Israel article on the front page of digg.com

Hopefully they’ll be more resources like this, like a top 10 list of pro-Israel activists to follow on Twitter, Stumbleupon, Digg, etc. so people can connect and create teams with immediate impact.

Apparently advocacy efforts for the other team aren’t going so well, as Al-Qaida expreienced some glitches in their web presence – Al-Qaida’s Propaganda Sites, Smacked Down

The huge, free, varied blog called Newsvine.com- which is owned by MSNBC- isn’t very forceful in enforcing its new (unpublished) policy to fight anti-semitism there, where such posters can actually get paid to post anti-semitic material there. Please help by joining the free blog, Newsvine.com, and help fight back against the likes of Newsvine.com poster self-identified as Keld Bach, and his list of friends there. You may also be paid for your postings in the process. If the anti-semities can be paid by MSNBC to post there, we should be able to as well, defendinmg Jews and Israel there.

A good way to start making an impact is by blogging! Keep up the good work.

@Karin – thanks Karin. We try, but we don’t blog as much as we’d like to. Oh well.
