Note
The UN is using its twitter account to push the Palestinian agenda, a new report reveals. A UN meeting on Monday will take up the Secretary-General's latest report on "Activities of the Department of Public Information: strategic communications services." The report says that the UN twitter account at the end of December had "1.2 million followers" and the "Twitter account is particularly popular on the following topics: human rights, combating racism, ending violence against women, access to water, the work of the Security Council, the crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic and the question of Palestine." Interest is directly related to the amount of information the UN is conveying on a particular subject; evidently, UN obsession with "Palestine" and the distribution of a steady stream of information demonizing Israel is paying off in the social media world.
