Paying students to agree with Israeli policies
    #7769644 - 12/17/07 01:27 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Sell your mind for a 1000$?

Not worth it!

A pro-Israeli lobby group, has begun a program to pay Canadian and American university and college students to agree with Israeli policy and to voice pro-Israeli sentiment in classroom discussion, and in grassroots organization with other campus groups.

A pro-Israeli lobby group, has begun a program to pay Canadian and American university and college students to agree with Israeli policy and to voice pro-Israeli sentiment in classroom discussion, and in grassroots organization with other campus groups.

The program, organized by the pro-Israel lobby group Stand With Us Campus, offers $1000 per year to pro-Israeli students or to students who may be enticed to go along in order to receive the prize of $1000 (source). In exchange for this money, students are to, in Stand With Us Campus’s own words, ”build relationships with their campus groups and individuals” to influence discourse in favour of Israel and then (again, in their words) ”report back to SWU campus staff to evaluate program effectiveness and network among themselves to ensure consistency.” (source)

So the next time you hear an undergraduate student in class claiming that Israel is only defending itself when the Palestinian/Israeli death toll is more than 14-to-1 in Israel’s favour, just think: he or she might actually be getting paid to say (and believe) such arguments.

According to Stand With Us Campus’s literature, so far, the following Canadian and American universities and colleges have a student or students (or “Fellows”, as they call them) who are being paid to advocate Israeli policy in their discussions and in their extra-curricular campus activity.

I clicked your link. Several times. It linked to your post. Every time. Why am I not surprised? If you can get $1,000 for your mind I suggest you take it. Now. You'll never get a a better offer.

If anyone goes along with this, I will point at them and give them a disapproving look.

Then blast them with lasers.

I actually have gotten different results from the same action on a computer. Generally has to do with the status of my internet connection.

This happens to me all the time! Whenever my status is "disconnected", I get a screen informing me that the page cant be opened. Whenever my status is "connected", the link I click on comes up!

Eh, they're just following the example set by the US on its moral low-road.

--

WASHINGTON, May 23 — A Defense Department investigation of Pentagon-financed propaganda efforts in Iraq warns that paying Iraqi journalists to produce positive stories could damage American credibility and calls for an end to military payments to a group of Iraqi journalists in Baghdad, according to a summary of the investigation.

The review, by Rear Adm. Scott Van Buskirk, was ordered after the disclosure last November that the military had paid the Lincoln Group, a Washington-based Pentagon contractor, to plant articles written by American soldiers in Iraqi publications, without disclosing the source of the articles. The contractor's work also included paying Iraqi journalists for favorable treatment.

The rest of the article here: nytimes.com

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.
