Follow Up

I wanted to follow up on the video that I posted previously. This video was made by a source that was looking to show how Israeli defense forces had brutally attacked this group of protesters (not sure if they were protesting or not). In response, the Israeli government tried to mark up the video to make it look like it was necessary to use force at the time.

For our case study we are studying Israel and I plan on using this video to demonstrate the penetration of digital social media into the Israeli society. It is fascinating that the government is now using YouTube channels to relay messages that help to save Israel's reputation. I am very curious to see if any other classmates who are studying different countries have found something similar to this? Have other Middle Eastern countries been using YouTube or Twitter to relay messages to their people and the outside public?
