Israeli Army sees Facebook as a threat

who that in your head, seeing what you see then

I have to laugh at the advice some official sources on 'internet safety' give out here - there's a whole dualism between their advice and what people have been using the internet for all along.

I've actually had people say to me things like 'don't give out your details online to anyplace public'....now I'm not one to have a myspace or the like, but I can't help but notice the millions of everyday folks who do have their personal details all over publically accessible networking sites. And they don't seem to be getting stalked by psychos or having their identities stolen.

Someone should tell them, how families etc have all along used the internet to publically display themselves on.

There's a big difference between advertising your passwords and bank details for example, and being open about yourself on a webspace.

What I'm saying is - can't have people thinking that anyone deserves or is in some way encouraging bad attention to themselves, because they use the internet for networking or just happen to have a personal page up online.

Especially when the electoral register etc has all your private details, like your address, available to anyone that can access it (literally thousands of people you don't know, including spam-phonecall companies etc) and knows just one part of your address or name.

What's next? You can't put adverts up in shop windows anymore, with a phone and name on; cause oh then you're just asking for crank calls.....get f-ing real. If you're in authority it's your job to get rid of psychos, not to encourage bogeymen stories.

Solve the problem from the root...

Why don't they ask themselves how the cameras entered to those military "entrance forbidden" places?
mmmmm....

israeli military service

Those unwilling to serve in the Israeli military are free, of course, to stand in front of a checkpoint into "Palestinian" areas and shout insults across the checkpoint. At risk to their life, of course.

Dimwitted Western liberals don't understand when you are virtually surrounded by people hell-bent on comitting genocide on you and your neighbors, it's a relative no-brainer to decide to serve in your country's military. Either that or be killed.

I wonder how quickly people who degrade the military would whinge for protection if their useless parasitical lives were really threatened and not some crack-infused fantasy of government taking away your so-called "rights" by "forcing" you to serve the societal defense. Rights don't exist if you aren't willing to defend them.
