Not the Full Picture: Israel’s Media Censorship
Interviewer: Jenka Soderberg
Free Speech Radio News, August 15th, 2006

Israel's war with Lebanon, and its ongoing invasion of Palestine, have been fought not only on the ground and air with weapons, but also on the airwaves and the internet - as supporters of Israel engage in new types of 'cyber-warfare' online, and the Israeli government engages in unprecedented censorship of media and use of cell phone messaging to inform potential targets to evacuate.

"There's been a war going on for Palestine at some level for the last 100 years and as technology changed from telephone and faxes to email and the Internet, ... those have been appropriated into the battle for public opinion. Because in the end, this is not going to be decided by who the superpower is or how many weapons Israel has and the balance of power in the region. It will be decided by public opinion, as was South Africa."

EI co-founder Nigel Parry spoke with Free Speech Radio News on August 15th about how communications technology plays a role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Jenka Soderberg reports.
