The Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF) is an organization that uses social media to mobilize support for campaigns against websites and Facebook groups that promote or praise what it describes as Islamic terrorism or antisemitism. The group's website describes the JIDF as a "private, independent, non-violent protest organization representing a collective of activists".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thejidf.org/2008/10/about-jidf.html )〕 The JIDF's work has been termed "hacktivism" by some media outlets. ==Organization and methods== According to the JIDF, the organization "formed as a grassroots effort in 2000, to mount mass e-mail campaigns, in response to the outbreak of the Second Intifada." The website is run by a person who identifies himself as "David Appletree."〔(Internet activist no friend of Facebook ) ''The Jewish Week''〕 According to a reporter from ''The Jewish Week'' in 2009 he "will not say if that is his true surname". In the same article Appletree accused Facebook administrators of antisemitism for closing down his account. A Facebook spokesperson replied that the account was terminated because the website did not believe he was using his real name, which is a breach of Facebook's "real name culture". Appletree went on to say that he maintains approximately 40 Facebook groups focused on combating terrorism and antisemitism.〔 The group says they "specifically target hateful material or material which blatantly promotes hatred or violence, no matter where it can be found."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thejidf.org/2008/08/current-response-to-wikipedia.html )〕 The "About" page of the website says "We believe in direct action both to eradicate the problems we face online and to create the publicity that will cause those with companies like Facebook and Google to take the needed action themselves."〔 The group focuses its attention on websites like Facebook,〔 〕 YouTube, Google Earth, and Wikipedia.〔 The JIDF has redirected anti-Israel Facebook groups to other pages it prefers and changed the names of Muslim members of such groups to "Mossad collaborator," among other actions.〔 A website spokesman told Haaretz that they don't break any laws and that the JIDF "prefers the terms 'seize control,' 'take over' or 'infiltrate' to 'hack.'"〔 In another article, Appletree maintained, "The main reason the JIDF exists is to promote Israel and fight Jew hatred as well as Islamic terrorist trends online," and stated, "we are a grassroots organization that reaches the hearts and the minds of normal, everyday Jews and Israel supporters who haven't been bamboozled into supporting the Jewish establishment that has completely failed Israel and the Jewish people in every way imaginable."〔http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/137769〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF) is an organization that uses social media to mobilize support for campaigns against websites and Facebook groups that promote or praise what it describes as Islamic terrorism or antisemitism.
