Twitter is a fast-growing social networking service, and the consulate’s intiative is the first time that a government is holding such a conference via the service
“We are constantly getting questions from the public regarding the situation in Israel and Gaza,” David Saranga, Consul for Media and Public Affairs, said. “We are answering the public’s call and holding a Citizen Press Conference on the social networking site, Twitter, to answer these questions directly.”
Twitter users can take part in the Citizen “Press” Conference by going to: http://www.twitter.com/IsraelConsulate and directing their messages to @israelconsulate and including the tag #AskIsrael.
Questions will be answered on Twitter, with a link to IsraelPolitik if the answer exceeds Twitter’s maximum length of 140 characters.
Oy, the pix of the little boy is putting me to tears. Please Hashem, save us!!!!
I once heard a saying “you are not doing something right unless you have someone criticizing you for it “. Whatever Israel decides to do they will be criticized for it. It is the worlds job as haters of Israel and Jews to find ways to be critical. That is what makes running the state a challenge to be able to stand up to the whole world to protect lives. (This is unlike writing comments here that one can remain anonymous and still get their message across.)If the politicians cannot stand up to this pressure they should resign .
why dont they put this pic.all over the news.
Ummmm, this photo looks eerily like the one several years ago of the palestinian and his son WHICH WAS STAGED AND ULTIMATELY FALSE because the boy didn’t die. Since this one is real, why not send it to all the news outlets.
Why does it say Akiras Yishuvim in the background? Does that mean destroy the settlements?!?
its such a tearful picture
