Is Pornography The Answer To This Era's Wars
07 ינו' 09
In the last 2 weeks I've proudly been a part of a group, a social media task force, which goal is to fight a war on the social web, a war on the world's public opinion.
In the last 2 weeks I've found myself watching hundreds of videos, reading reports, columns, blog posts, tracking comments, everything social media you can think about.
If you're asking yourself what does that have to do with my post's title- It's this- Pornography is winning the public opinion of this war. War has nothing to do with logic, has nothing to do with reason, has nothing to do with facts. In today's wars, the side who uses more pornography wins.
When this is the case, and when I'm standing on Israel's side, Israel is losing the world's public opinion because WE use less pornography while the other side is a pornography manufacturer, and you know how people like watching pornography. What do I mean when I say pornography? I just deleted a comment from a spammer that linked to an Aljazeera page, showing dead children, leaving no room for anything but sadness. This is the link, this is what I mean when I say pornography, war pornography.
It's only when I came across some pro Israeli videos, that I realized I'm watching pornography and that WE don't make use of it.
For years, Israel has been suffering from Terror attacks. We lived in fear from people who raise their children to want to die while killing Jews. We are bitter when the world comes to us, blaming us vicious blood sucking Jews, that "innocent women and children" die when we go fight terror. When we tell the world Hamas is using the population as Human Shilds, it's not enough, I don't know why, maybe it's the Jew filter the world has, or maybe… maybe it's that we're not using pornography.
Should we use war pornography? Will this help the world see something else other than being totally blind to what Israel is saying?
Let's see if we can make good pornography. The Next 2 videos are very hard to watch, but they do the trick. Don't watch them if you're sensitive. The last video I'll call soft porn. It works great on subtle Europeans and post post traumatic Americans and also do the trick.

So what have we been doing so far?
Fighting the "First Social War" made us realize we are fighting a multi-platform, multi-language, cross-cultural, cross-technology battle. Two days ago(Tuesday) I took part in building the Jerusalem Social Media Situation Room for the recent Israel Hamas conflict. Yesterday I've joined forces (along with other friends) with the second situation room in the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya which generously hosts us and let us use its facilities, personnel and connections.
I proudly present the social media tools we've launched in the last 48 hours thanks to many volunteers who helped from home or came to Jerusalem and the IDC headquarters and spent hours from their time and gave their brains, hands and used their personal social graphs to help us in this first ever organized social media war effort. War brings something else out of people, I've learned this in the Second Lebanon War the first time, now I realize it the second time. It's a fascinating human phenomenon to look at, generouciry at its peak.
This is what we've got so far:
1- A blog: Help Us Win. The center of attention.
2- A multi language Status Report center that can show you (currently in English and French) what's going on all over the social web, divided to tabs for the different subjects and languages.
3- A Recruiting System – please register if you wanna help.
4- a Twitter account.
5- Two Facebook groups, in English and French.
6- A Press Releases Blog for government and IDF press releases. They should be more available anyway.
These are the social tools we've used so far:
1- Gmail
2- Google Docs
3- Wordpress
4- Tumblr
5- Picasa Web
6- Netvibes
7- Twitter
8- Facebook
9- Youtube
10- Wufoo Forms
Few last things:
1- I want to thank all the amazing people who've joined us in this adventure.
2- The Jerusalem and IDC situation rooms are open every day and help is always needed.
3- If you have time to come help us- do that- just come…bring a laptop if you got one.
4- I want to thank all of you who support us and support Israel on the social web.
5- Any videos, posts or photos you think worth promoting- send to helpuswinisrael@gmail.com
6- You can follow my Twitter as well, I tweet a lot.
6- More is yet to come.
Special personal thanks to Kfir Pravda, for his part creative thinking part coaching he's been giving me in the last few days.

Hey guys,
In the past 48 hours we've been working on creating a social media initiative for what's going on in South Israel.
I don't have time to share all the details now, but from what i've seen so far, there a few things we need as soon as possible.
This post is probably one of many i'll write in the near future, each of these will be as short as possible and will ask for your help in different ways. I'll probably post this on my blog as well (www.nivcalderon.com) to give people the ability to share it, so please share it as much as you can (the Facebook note and the blog post)
Things we need right now:
1- We're building our personnel lists now so we need a list of people you know who are willing to donate their time and passion for this cause. we need the list with these columns filled up: full name, phone, email, twitter, facebook, blog, field of specialty, languages.
Please send all lists (please use excel for this) to my email: nivcalderon at gmail.com.
Please share this as much as you can.
If you have any questions, please use the comments
i'll keep you posted,
