I'm not claiming Yahoo! Answers is actively seeking anti-Israeli questioners... I'm asking if the Anti-Israeli movement are coordinated in using this program to spread their propaganda like Al Jazeera spreads the terrorist's message.
Does anyone else see the wheels of the propaganda machine rolling?

Greg brought up a good point... Is this movement coordinated or is it a case of ignorant people posting ignorant comments?

The people who are answering questions on here are decidedly left wing, and decidedly uninformed. They think Israel is the bad one here, but don't even know who Hezbollah are. Look at half of the questions, they go something like this: "Why is Bush Dumb"? They can't even come up with a good argument, but they are prepared to call the President of the United States stupid. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Yahoo answers is open to anyone, so if the majority of the questions are anti-Israel, or pro Red Sox, or about fluffy kittens then that is because the majority of users want to discuss such things.
You are just as free and able to post a pro-Israeli question as some posting an anti-Israeli question.
If Turkey had attacked Lebanon instead of Israel doing it then I would expect to see many anti-Turkish questions.
But it is Israel who are attacking Lebanon, and the US who are in Iraq, and hence that is the way the questions go.

Can I stop you there. GOVERNMENT'S spread propaganda. It's a tool to keep people like you thinking what they want you to think.
Yahoo Answers is a forum for free speech. You take it or leave it. It's hardly an international TV station, but it's people's opinions based on what they want to base it on. Unfortunately, a lot of people on here are uninformed yes, but it's actually by choice, and it's predominantly the pro-Israeli side who seem to have trouble keeping informed. Ultimatley, people see what they want to see.
I think the difference is the anti-Israeli movement argue using facts and figures while the pro-Israeli movement argue in excuses and by yelling "propaganda!"

Thank God those people have a place to express their thoughts! Man, are you blind? 1000 civilians are dead in Lebanon until now, do you want the world to stay calm for this?
Israel has the media of the most powerful countries in the world on their side. And you are talking about Yahoo Answers? What a dictator!

Greg I'll help you. Hezbollah is the result of Jewish occupation of Lebanon for nearly 20 years, where they attacked, ill treated and murdered Palestinian peoples. The Hezbollah, decided that they will never make it so easy for Israel to step on their lands again. If you people really do believe in Democracy you will know this, Hezbollah never attacks outside of their region or country. Census shows that 80% of muslims support Hezbollah, 83% of Christians support Hezbollah, nearly 100% of Shiites support Hezbollah. They are the result of the people of Lebanon. Now maybe countries should start bombing us because some of you support GWB. Pathetic

what about the propaganda that says Lebanese people are terrorists and they deserve to die this way because Israel is protecting its people.
what about the propaganda saying that all Muslims are terrorists and most die like...
what about telling lies and want all the world to believe that Israel is the victim here...
what about all these children dying and no one is wondering why...
what about my babies frightened and asking about their friends dying because if we point the finger to Israel and say stop killing us we become anti-Israeli movement or terrorist mothers maybe...

on the grounds that may no longer a actual question, you're purely attempting to make an fact after which you place a question mark after it, that's against Yahoo coverage. to boot, I even have ALL my professional Israel questions deleted. and that i will respond to your question with Israel does no longer commit terrorism. yet why do Palestinian supporters turn an blind eye to Palestinian terrorism?
