Revision as of 04:18, 17 August 2008
Template:Icu The Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF) is an online organization that seeks to remove content it regards as anti-Semitic and promoting "violence and Islamic terrorism." The group has focused its attention specifically on Facebook, YouTube, Google Earth, and Misplaced Pages.
Facebook campaigns
The JIDF created a Facebook group entitled, "FACEBOOK: Why do you aid and abet terrorist organizations?", where it mobilized its members to report to Facebook administrators the existence of groups which they accused of violating Facebook's terms of use. Over 100 of these groups were subsequently closed.
The JIDF have indicated that they began seizing control of a number of groups, most notably the Facebook group "Israel is not a country! Delist it from Facebook as a country" after Facebook administrators declined to delist them. According to the JIDF, Facebook's inaction came "despite thousands of user complaints over the course of eighteen months". JIDF has described "Israel is not a country! Delist it from Facebook as a country" as "one of the most vile, antisemitic, pro-terrorist sites on the internet" and "the most active hate group of all".
The JIDF are not the first to describe the "Israel is not a country! Delist it from Facebook as a country" group as a hate site.
A report from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and an article in the The Jewish Week had previously described the "Israel is not a country…" group as anti-semitic. The Coordination Forum for Countering Antisemitism has highlighted the issue by including a Telegraph article on the topic in its archive. The Anti Defamation League cite the group as an example of antisemitism on Facebook and describe it as "strongly anti-Israel and anti-Semitic" .
