from digital distribution to pigeon post.
"whoever publishes the photos first wins over the public opinion," senior IDF officer
Photos matter. And getting them out or preventing their distribution is a serious matter in our contemporary wars. Digital distribution makes their quick dispersal easier and quicker It also makes control easier. The use of jamming devices that can jam digital media and prevent the electronic broadcast of images is leading to inventive ways of countering that control. Ways that hark back to older systems of communication. Pigeon post, for example.
A shipload of medicine riled up the Israeli government enough. The discovery that the activists on board the Estelle included carrier pigeons, which were prepared to deliver photographic evidence of Israeli attacks on the passengers, has them downright livid.

Pro-Palestinian Israeli activist Yonatan Shapira, who was on board the ship, confirmed the IDF assessment, saying: "We tagged some of the carrier pigeons with digital memory cards containing photos showing IDF soldiers using taser guns.
