Jerusalem – Israelis, Jews and Christians from around the world are joining a Facebook community forum to express their support for the men and women of the Israel Defense Forces in their fight to counter terrorism against innocent civilians in Israel from Gaza.
The Facebook group is located at: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=69810300128
Facebook is the largest Web 2.0 social networking Website on the Net, ranking as the fifth largest Website in the world with over 140 million active users.
The pro-Israel, pro-democracy and anti-terrorism site named: “I Support the Israel Defense Forces In Preventing Terror Attacks From Gaza” was created by Internet journalist, marketing, PR and SEO pioneer Joel Leyden.
The site states: “Responding to unprovoked terror rocket attacks from Hamas terrorists in Gaza against Israeli civilian populations, the Israel Defense Forces has launched a massive counter attack. This Facebook forum supports the brave men and women in the Israel Defense Forces who by air, water and ground protect Israel’s democracy and sovereign borders.
The Hamas government leaders and operatives, which activate terror from within civilian population centers, are the sole bearers of responsibility for Israel’s military response. This response is crucial for preserving Israel’s security interests.
The IDF Spokesperson states that anyone sponsoring terror, hosting terror in his house, housing terror in his basement and sending his wives and children to serve as human shields – is considered a terrorist.
The IDF will continue its activity against terror activities according to operational assessments held by the Chief of the General Staff. The IDF is ready to widen and deepen its activity against all terror organizations in the Gaza Strip, as long as it is necessary.
In addition, the Israel IDF Homefront Command and emergency authorities, have taken all necessary measures for preparing the civilian population.
The group is open 24/7 as public opinion directly affects life on the ground. Please forward this Facebook room to your family, friends and the media. Let them know that Israel wants peace but will defend herself when attacked.”
