As many of you know, ROICommunity has a Twitter profile (as do many ROIers). And of course, anyone with a cause is all over Facebook these days. So when the war in Gaza broke out, netizens of Twitter and Facebook began to show their support at each of those sites.
On Twitter, newest kid on the block is HelpUsWin, which was designed to be an aid in the PR battle for Israel and is posting links to news items as they happen. There's also StandWithUs, and IsraelConsulate (the NY one, new to Twitter), has announced they'll be holding a press conference via Twitter tomorrow (TUESDAY), 1-3 PM Eastern (NY) time.
For liveblogs of war coverage, check out IsraellyCool and Jameel@Muqata.
On Facebook, HelpUsWin has also started a group.
We'll continue to bring you reports from Leah Stern and other ROIers with observations on the conflict as we receive them. Feel free to submit your reports - and your favorite sources for news about the conflict - to us via the comments section, using the "contact us" form or via email at esther.kustanowitz at gmail.com. And here's to wishing that such reports soon become unnecessary.
