Title: A New Pro-Israel Social Network
Post by: Lisa on May 31, 2011, 08:59:33 PM

Someone forwarded me an email from Pierre Rehov, a journalist who makes documentaries combatting fakestinian propaganda against Israel.  Here's some background information on the man:

Anyway, his latest project is an alternative to Facebook called Forbidden Territories.  The address is www.forbiddenterritories.com.  He says it includes a social network, a free blog, and RSS feeds.  So let's all sign up.  It could be a good addition to YouTube, Flix and Facebook. 

Here's what Pierre wrote:

Dear Friends,
Many of us got frustrated with Facebook way of being " fair and balanced ". It took Muslims only a few days to announce and almost lounch another intifada (virtual this time) and it took a lot of pressures, from all of us, to have facebook ban their " intifada page ".Most of you have had amazing initiatives, and have created wonderful systems of informations : sites, blogs, newsletters, local networks, organizations etc... Only one little thing was missing : they didn't have the purpose to becoming VIRAL." Viral " is what made FB, Youtube and other spontaneous networks so powerful. You ask your friends to join, who ask their friends to join, who ask... etc... Soon, it becomes out of control. That is the reason why I created, www.ForbiddenTerritories.com  and asked you to join :  Forbidden Territories is a social network, a free blog, fed with RSS feeds, videos and more as it will come. 10 of you signing up and inviting 10 who invite 10 is already 1000 in less than a day ! Muslims consider Judea Samaria as " Occupied Territories ". Regarding the law, and according to Israel, they are "Disputed Territories". But for most media, who are supposed to report honestly, and actually risk they life would they do their job properly, they are "Forbidden Territories".So, please, help my little initiative. Let it be viral. I did it for Israel, the West, Freedom, Democracy, our way of life, our ethics. You will be able to upload your opinion, advertise for your own blogs, make it know.
Welcome to : www.ForbiddenTerritories.com
May you be one million within a year !
Warm regards,
Pierre Rehov

Sounds like an excellent initiative to me.
I watched one of his documentaries a few years ago, it was very good at exposing the lies of the Arab propaganda.

I joined too. We'll see. They have a forum. It could be an opportunity to publicize JTF if this initiative attracts a lot of people.

Rehov's work is so strong, so unique, so hard to argue against.  Much respect for him.
