Israel wants to pay university students to post pro-Israel messages on social media networks, and officials say they won’t need to identify themselves as government -linked.
The Israeli prime minister’s office said in a statement Wednesday that students would receive scholarships to engage international audiences online to combat anti-Semitism and calls to boycott Israel. It said students’ messages would parallel statements by government spokespeople.
An Israeli official said Wednesday that scholarship recipients wouldn’t need to identify themselves as part of the program, which would begin within months. He spoke anonymously because the project is still under development.
The Israeli daily Haaretz identified the official heading the project as Danny Seaman, a spokesman who has written Facebook posts criticized by the media as being incendiary and anti-Muslim. Seaman declined comment.

Do you even grammar?
Why only university students? Are they the only individuals that can write and express themselves well?
Noone is stopping you from helping Klal yisroel and also combatting virulent, anti semitic and hate filled messages but people doing university particularly writing can be expected to write well
