Sudan newspaper warns of dangers of becoming friends with Israelis on Facebook

One day, Israel and Sudan might not be enemies!

Sudanese newspaper Al Nilin warns of the dangers of unsuspecting Arab youth becoming friends with Israelis on social media.

Arab experts note that Israel puts effort into fighting delegitimization efforts online, but from their perspective it means that Israel is trying to change the minds of susceptible Arab youth about Israel.

This is, we are told, a new war that Israel is waging - social media is a fifth generation weapon against the Arab world as it tries to weaken the resolve of Arab youth to unconditionally hate Israel.

The article describes how advanced Israel is in Internet technologies, both by having major research centers for Google and Yahoo but also with its Unit 8200 in the IDF. All of these are being used in order to insidiously become friends with unsuspecting Arab youth.

The author is not warning that Israel is using the Internet to spy on these youth. He is warning that youth might change their minds about Israel.

The author concludes, "Since we in Sudan are suffering from a massive explosion in dealing with this new media that has invaded our lives, there is no doubt that our families and our lives and our attitudes and our thoughts and our policies and management of political and economic affairs are vulnerable, and we must act with caution..!"

It takes a special kind of hate that considers any threat to the hate itself to be a danger.
