Parliament committees are the best; They are a gathering of experts in their field, coming to help the legislator to deal with issues they are not acquainted with. That’s why when i came yesterday to the special parliamentary committee, i was certain that i will not fall on deaf ears, and i might have a way to persuade them that peace is the way, and that the internet is discourse. Although i did my best, the committee was eager to hear about how Israel is dealing with “Hasbara” (a word why literally translates to “Explination” but is closer to “Information”, “Public Relations” and “Propaganda”) on the web. They mostly wanted to hear how are we winning in surveys on major websites and why everyone, besides the United States, hates us.

I came to talk about what are the Lebanese doing and what can be gained from cooperation with them, they wanted to hear about literal violence. Even Nir Ofir from Tapuz, which offered Lebanese (hebrew link) to Blog on their website, didn’t have the chance to explain about their actions, but only to hear again and again questions phrased like “We are the ones who hold technology, how come we aren’t winning the war on the net?” (hebrew link).

I don’t think we should “Win” the war on the net, but we should end it. Even the Israeli Hasbara couldn’t explain why UN officials were killed  in lebanon without any cause, and rumours are that the UN notified Israel about their location and requested them not to bomb.
I’m getting sick of this war, soon i’ll start protesting against it, and not only think that we should end it by disarming Hizbullah.
