The bombs on Gaza may have stopped falling, but a fierce cyber battle continues, with bloggers on both sides of the fence mobilising their troops to ‘obliterate' the presence of the other - at least online.
Last month, Haaretz reported that Israel is recruiting an “army of bloggers” to combat anti-Zionist websites. The move was announced by the Israeli Immigrant Absorption Ministry which said it was recruiting Israelis who speak a second language, to represent Israel in “anti-Zionist blogs” in English, French, Spanish and German.
On cue, Nawara Negm, a young Egyptian blogger who has an unprecedented online presence, has decided to combat this initiative head on. She too has taken it up upon herself to recruit multilingual bloggers to mobilise their forces to combat what she describes as the “Sons of Zion” in this online war.
