Probably it was Elina who advised her Prime Minster, Benjamin Netanyahu, to establish this programme:
Israel
Offers Students Grants If They Tweet Favorable Propaganda. See this:
In
a campaign to improve its image abroad, the Israeli government plans to provide
scholarships to hundreds of students at its seven universities in exchange for
their making pro-Israel Facebook posts and tweets to foreign audiences.
The
students making the posts will not
reveal online that they are funded by the Israeli government,
according to correspondence about the plan revealed in the Haaretz newspaper.
Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, which will oversee the programme, confirmed
its launch and wrote that its aim was to “strengthen Israeli public diplomacy
and make it fit the changes in the means of information consumption”.
Dear all,
Just to remind late joiners to the list, that Elina is named on her Linked-In page as an advisor to the Israeli prime minister.

Elina,
You can play the role of the victim as much as you want but won't be able to mislead us. You need to admit that Israel is occupying and looting Palestinian lands, destroying their homes, illegally blockading the Gaza Strip, unjustly put people in prison including children, targeting hospitals and disabled care homes, and unlawful implementing continuing and discriminate attacks. About 1300 civilians killed, 40% children, and thwarting any peace
efforts and many other criminal acts. What do you expect? You are very lucky to have a shelter to hide but but Palestinians don't have one. For several times, UN schools used as shelters have been targeted - including one today killing more than 20 people. Please don't give us any 'moral' lessons and only blame your illegal terrorist government.

Milly, this is really nice of you to write for the whole world... Especially about hundreds of dead terrorists whom you call children... (And yes, I am aware of civilian casualties, which is very sad indeed).
And my point regarding rockets is - even if something does't kill you, it does irreversible psychological damage. Just think about it - you are writing me this post from some nice office and I am replying from a very unpleasant bomb shelter. And since we have sirens again, I am sorry, but you will have to continue this important discussion without me.

Well, imagine then what it must have felt like for the hundreds of children who were blown apart by Israeli bombs; imagine the hundreds and hundreds of dead
adults; imagine the thousands of injured and maimed, with very little medical help; imagine the mothers who have had to hold their dead children; imagine fleeing to a UN school, because you have nowhere else to go, and still being blown apart by Israeli bombs.
Israel is finally losing its propaganda war. No one believes your lies any more, except you.
Subject: Re: Behind the News from Gaza
I just hope that you called my point of view a "Zionist provocation". It is really flattering, as I have never answered any of "anti-Zionist" posts or emails. This time I really decided that this very interesting and important community
has to hear the other voice. The voice of someone, who jumped out of bed once again during the night because of some HAMAS fanatic, who decided to send another rocket to her home town.
PS From personal experience - the siren is much more frightening than a rocket. You keep hearing a siren for 45 seconds and it takes only a few seconds for a rocket to explode.
The members of this list are to be congratulated for a discussion which, while different points of viewed were being aired, immediately rose to the Zionist provocation and transcended it
before the perpetrator was outed.
