Standing with Israel

From Brooks News:

StandWithUs, the international Israel education organization has mobilized a team of multi-lingual, web-savvy student volunteers around the globe to take Israel's case to the world, just as they organized a successful Internet response during Israel's Operation Cast Lead in December 2008.

....

The goal is to fight the web war against Israel by blogging and using social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, and posting talkbacks on a range of media sites. The volunteer teams are identifying and sharing videos, images, and relevant messages with their social networks.

SWU was founded in 2001 in response to the public's need and desire for more information about the Arab-Israeli conflict. The organisation runs several websites with relevant information:

The main website

www.standwithuscampus.com
is a resource for students on campus.
www.emersonfellowship.com details SWU Emerson Fellowship program on 39 U.S. and Canadian campuses.
www.standwithus.co.il is based in Jerusalem and details international operations.
www.LearnIsrael.org provides material for librarians, teachers and a free downloadable curriculum for high school teachers.
www.stand4facts.org is a password-protected site containing a database of information on anti-Israel speakers.
www.united4freedom.org is a speakers' bureau
