About the movement

The movement cooperates with the Yesha Council in the fields of logistics and PR. As of September 2011 the movement's Hebrew Facebook page had over 62,000 subscribers and the English page over 26,000.^{[citation needed]}

In May 2011, the movement began opening branches throughout the country. In July, branches were opened in Haifa, Natanya, Ra'anana, Tiberias, El'ad, Beersheba, Giv'at Shmuel, Rishon LeZion and Kiryat Bialik.^{[citation needed]}

The movement deals with public relations across the internet and especially on social networks^{[citation needed]} and Wikipedia,^[2][3] but also arranges protests and demonstrations against alleged anti-Zionist activity in society and the media.^[3]

In 2010, My Israel started an organized campaign to insert "Zionist" editing onto Wikipedia in order to combat what it perceived as "anti-Israel entries."^[4] The group set-up workshops to show people how to edit.^[3]

On 29 July 2011, the movement expressed its support for the social justice protests but disapproved of the heads of the protest. My Israel defined the leaders as conscientious objectors and post-Zionist leftists who publicly speak against IDF soldiers. On August 3 the movements' activists participated in a demonstration near the protest encampment in Rothschild Avenue. They joined Im Tirtzu, Bnei Akiva, and other right wing activists, and called for lowering the costs of living while expressing their support for Prime Minister Netanyahu. On September 1, the movement published an online letter from 2002, which includes Daphni Leef's signature. The letter states that the signatories refuse to "serve the occupation."^{[citation needed]}
