Author Topic: Lately several Israeli politicians have added me as a facebook friend (Read 1330 times)

I wonder why. Any thoughts?

Usually people add the politicians, not the other way around. For instance, in the past I have added Moshe Feiglin, Michael Ben Ari, a few others. I did this to generate interest in my posts about JTF.

Suddenly a Kadima politician (one who is lovingly embracing Shimon Perez in her facebook photo), and a "Michael Kleiner" - not sure if he's still in politics - have added me in the past few days.

Kadima ? What an honour, I envy you

Make sure you don't get Tzipora Schpitzer's picture on your wall

Seriously, the number of your "friends" is a measure of how popular and "connected" you are on Facebook. So I guess this idiot automatically adds you as a friend without even checking if your opinions are the least bit consistent with Kadima.

My profile picture is a portrait of Rabbi Kahane though, that's why it is interesting to me.

Ouch... I am sorry that I didn't contribute to the discussion. I will think next time before I post...

BTW, I should say that you should be careful in what you share with these politicians.

Quote

See; Pirkei Avot 2:3
3. Be careful with the government, for they befriend a person only for their own needs. They appear to be friends when it is beneficial to them, but they do not stand by a person at the time of his distress.

I deleted pigang a long time ago. Even though I wish I could still spy on his FB account.

muman613 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 05, 2011, 06:00:37 PM »

I also forgot Pirkie Avot 1:10

Quote

10. Shmaayah and Avtalyon received from them. Shmaayah would say: Love work, loath mastery over others, and avoid intimacy with the government.

With that said, maybe there can be something good which will come from it. Let us hope that will be the case.

LOL, trust me I don't think of a kadima politician as a friend. (Nor likud, or any members of AMALEK - Avoda, Meretz, Likud, Kadima). I accept them as friends on facebook for my own purposes.

Yes, twitter is in the news this week. Ask Weiner...

Well, since Anthony Weiner did something evil using a social medium, then it must be that we must cut ourselves off from millions of people and never look at social media again. But in that case, we should never look at a newspaper, drive in a car, or go pretty much anywhere because of how many people have done evil with those things.

That is not what I was saying. But it is an interesting example of how twitter can get people in trouble. I have a feeling we may hear more about people saying things on these social media sites.

I only use those which relate directly to my occupation, such as LinkedIn... But I really don't even use it... I have found some old acquaintances through that site.

You know, you have to be careful if they are who they say they really are. They could be spies to child chaim or haymin hamiti responsible for a statement that is made. I would personally remove the leftists from your page.

WOW

In what fantasy world do you imagine that I would ever be INTIMATE with the Oslo Suicide Traitor nazis? Like I said, I accepted the requests for my own purposes, not to buddy up to them.

What does Chaim have to hide?

Trust me, it is really the kadima politician. (I mean, it could be one of her aides, but it's clearly her or someone who has photographs of her daily work that no regular citizen could possibly get no matter how much they stalked her).
