The Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF) is an online organization which seeks to remove hateful anti-Semitic and anti-Israel content from the web. The group has paid particular attention to what it deems to be anti-Israel propaganda on Facebook, YouTube, and Wikipedia. The organization started as the Facebook group "FACEBOOK: Why Do You Aid And Abet Terrorist Organizations?", which succeeded in removing over 28 Facebook groups with incendiary content by mobilizing its members to report the groups to Facebook for violating its terms of use.[1] When, according to the JIDF, Facebook stopped removing these groups, the JIDF took over the Facebook group "Israel is not a country! Delist it from Facebook as a country", described by the JIDF as "one of the most vile, most anti-Semitic, most pro-Jihad and most disgusting, and most importantly, most active hate groups on the Internet".[2][3]
