They aid and abet our enemies. Ultimately all of you are on the same page - all the fragmentation is absurd. You have Daroff and his planning of a fake Pesach for Obama, you have the JTA and Sieradski pimping for J Street and "Peace Now" Oh, and what about Sieradski and the JTA's conflict of interest in editing their own Wikipedia articles?

Here's some of their recent tweets (twitter.com/jidf): @jtanews why are you regurgitating press releases for anti-Israel, @jstreetdotorg? (they provide platforms ppl blaming israel for 9/11!) @jtanews - why stop at @jstreetdotorg? why not start promoting Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Klan while you're at it? oh, and you too, @daroff (william daroff): http://is.gd/3cBJ3 - time for the jewish establishment to WAKE UP on J-STREET "fake "pro-Israel" orgs (@jstreetdotorg) that provide platforms to ppl blaming Israel for 9/11 should not be promoted by Jewish establishment" 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 For more information, please visit the Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=137996562951&ref=mf and the Facebook event for this campaign: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=245983090453 The following individuals and organizations are working in support of this project: The Gilad Shalit Army of Friends http://www.gilad.org Dr. Hagit Hadar The Gilad Shalit Committee in America http://www.habanim.org/en/index_en.html Soutien Francais à Guilad Shalit (French support for Gilad Shalit) http://www.soutienfrancais-a-guiladshalit.com David Saranga and the Israeli Consulate in New York http://www.israelfm.org/ Jewish Internet Defense Force http://www.thejidf.org Radical Commentary http://radicalcommentary.blogspot.com Chabad http://www.chabad.org Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters http://www.lubavitch.com AISH http://www.aish.com Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland https://zionist.org.uk HonestReporting http://www.honestreporting.com Zionism on the Web http://www.zionismontheweb.org Israpundit http://www.israpundit.com Z-Street http://ziostreet.wordpress.com Tweet Your Prayers http://www.tweetyourprayers.info Infidels Are Cool http://infidelsarecool.com Yuri Foreman http://www.yuriforeman.com JewNews http://jewnews.net Jewlicious http://www.jewlicious.com WeJew http://www.wejew.com Anti-Terrorism Coalition http://www.atcoalition.com Schtik! http://www.schtik.com International Civil Liberties Alliance http://www.libertiesalliance.org Are you an organization interested in being added to this list?

(Originally posted, 8.5.09) On August 28th, 2009, kidnapped Israeli Defense Force soldier Gilad Shalit will celebrate his 23rd birthday. But for the fourth year in a row, it appears he will most likely celebrate this important milestone far away from his home in Israel. Shalit was kidnapped by Hamas in the summer of 2006 and has remained in captivity since. Negotiations for his release are ongoing. ‘Tweet4Shalit’ is a virtual grassroots movement inspired by the struggle Gilad Shalit must endure daily as a prisoner of war and as a victim of Islamic extremism. ‘Tweet4Shalit’ is a 24 hour Twitter event in which thousands of supporters will sign onto Twitter to tweet the hashtag ‘#GiladShalit’ with the goal of making Gilad a top ten Twitter ‘Trending Topic’ two days before his birth (recognizing that his actual birthday occurs on Shabbos). ‘Tweet4Shalit’ is a single-issue campaign only to raise awareness and is not a political action group. Social networking is a way to inspire change and raise awareness and we plan to do just that. We invite everyone, everywhere to spread the word about ‘Tweet4Shalit’ and join us on Twitter, all day (and all night) on August 26th, 2009, using the hashtag '#GiladShalit' 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 Organizations supporting the aforementioned campaign: The Gilad Shalit Army of Friends Dr. Hagit Hadar The Gilad Shalit Committee in America David Saranga and the Israeli Consulate in New York Jewish Internet Defense Force Radical Commentary Chabad Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters AISH Israpundit Z-Street Jewlicious WeJew Anti-Terrorism Coalition Schtik!

Contact the JIDF: admin@thejidf.org 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 this is largely thanks to the Jewish Internet Defense Force's multiple campaigns against such content 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 Should have mentioned the Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF) since they started the campaign and are leading it: http://www.thejidf.org 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 more proof that "reform" judaism is merely a front for progressive liberalism and the typical anti-israel attitudes that permeate it.... why is a "religious" movement taking political stands on where Jews should and should not live in our Holy Land? the "reform" movement came about in germany -prior to the Holocaust when Jews were trying to fit in to German society - they included organ music to be like Christians, and the German language instead of Hebrew and stopped calling our place of prayer "synagogues" and "shuls" in some stupid attempt to reassure the world that we are not interested in fulfilling the BASIC TENET of Judaism of REBUILDING THE TEMPLE!. no, we do not go to "temple" we go to shuls/synogogues and will rebuild THE temple! we can see how well the "reform" movement worked in Germany - Jews were slaughtered there despite their desperate attempts to "fit in" - best not to fit in, folks- best to stand out and embrace who you are and daven in Hebrew, stop using the term "temple" - get rid of the organs in your "temples" stop buying into progressive liberalism which is packaged in "reform judaism" etc - it's because so many US Jews are "reform" that 78% of them voted for insanity i'm with gary - automatic settlement expansion and a DISPROPORTIONATE RESPONSE! 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 apparently too many idiot liberals read JTA who don't have a freagin' clue about Islam and how they overwhelmingly treat OUR Holy sites. 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 Does this article assume that there was a "prophet Muhammad."? Oh, and Moishgil, what do you have to say in light of this? http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=31559 Muslims Defile Machpelah During Holiday March 11, 2009 mh.jpgOn Monday, the Ma’aras HaMachpelah was closed to Jews to permit the Muslim worshippers full access to the entire complex in celebration of an Islamic holiday. When Jews arrived on Monday night to daven maariv and hear Megillas Esther they were pained to see that once again Muslims defiled siddurim and tehillim, which community spokesman Noam Arnon explained is not too unusual for them. Arnon explained on Monday morning that in the past, during Muslim holidays when Jews are barred from the holy site, mezuzos have been ripped out of the wall and other acts to defile that which is holy to Jews take place. Arnon expressed his hope that security officials will respond firmly and immediately to the desecration. Officials report security cameras in the Machpelah did not catch the perpetrators in the act. 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 Richard, you must be delusional. Which terrorist organization do you propose should govern this terrorist state---Hamas or Fatah? 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 I agree, Ethan - Jewish publications need to do more to help publicize these great sources of info. The JIDF is a big supporter of the majority sites you mentioned and that's how I learned of them - they have them on their site and are constantly featuring their articles in its newsfeed. The JIDF is active on Facebook, YouTube, Myspace, Twitter, Del.icio.us., Digg, Wordpress, and Blogspot - and they do everything they can to help support others who are doing good work. 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 It's unbelievable that you didn't mention the most effective online Jewish organization in this battle: the Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF) - they have been fighting antisemitism and Islamic terrorism online for a long time, as well as doing some amazing pro-Israel advocacy. Check them out: http://www.thejidf.org 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 Quick! Someone tell Abe Foxman or Mort Klein to put out a press release! 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 Great, maybe the ADL can stop defaming people like Rabbi Meir Kahane and stop supporting an independent Islamic terrorist state in the heart of Israel and the ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Jews from portions of Israel. Yes, this is what they advocate when the ADL, along with 13 other organizations under the JCPA officially endorse a two-state "solution" - what any of that has to do with "defamation" is beyond me. Thanks, Abe. A little late to the party on the Rubashkin case, as the whole thing was a giant smear campaign conducted by secular leftist Jews, labor unions, and the democratic party. Rubashkin will be vindicated. The whole thing went down because of antisemitisim, yet the ADL missed the boat on that one. What exactly do they do with the $80 million a year other than pretend to make a positive difference? They push a secular liberal agenda, is all. 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 If I had to choose, I like the Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF) far more for fighting antisemitism: http://www.thejidf.org 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 It gets so annoying that the left-wing ADL thinks it's the moral authority for everyone and has to release some stupid press release in order to express Abe's opinion every two minutes. The ADL has a budget of $80 million a year. They openly advocate for land concessions to our enemies, and they push a socialist agenda. Can anyone explain how they are considered a "Jewish" organization? Furthermore, they are actively involved in the DEFAMATION of Jews they don't like. 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00 Interestingly, Hezbollah linked to the JIDF yesterday, threatened them, and accused them of being Mossad. Within hours of this happening, Hezbullah.org was taken down!

Facebook has barely done anything about it. The only Jewish organization doing anything about it is the Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF) - Here's one of their recent posts about the problems on Facebook: http://www.thejidf.org/2008/12/facebooks-fan-page-for-al-sayed-hassan.html The JIDF is also active on YouTube, Digg, Ning, Twitter, etc. The JTA should talk more about the issues since this little story does not paint an accurate picture of what is happening there. Content goes up and comes down all the time and it requires hyper vigilance and funds by the Jewish community at large. Not even the ADL is doing anything on this front! Be sure to check out the JIDF's list of problematic groups (or the "JIDF Guide to Facebook Groups). This "story" doesn't accurately portray the depth or danger of the situation whatsoever. 2009-11-22T;16:45:00-05:00
