Facebook Group Supporting Israel Defense Forces

IDF Action Against Gaza Terrorism Gathers Over 1,000 Members

Jerusalem, Israel(RushPRnews)12/29/08--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."

Israel President Shimon Peres made a special statement today regarding IDF Operation Cast Lead (Israel's attack on the Hamas terror infrastructure in Gaza) and the ongoing Palestinian terror rocket fire on civilian areas in southern Israel:

"It is the first time in the history of Israel that we, the Israelis, cannot understand the motives or the purposes of the ones who are shooting at us. It is the most unreasonable war, done by the most unreasonable warriors.

The story is simple. Israel has left Gaza completely, out of our own free will, at a high cost. In Gaza there is no single Israeli civilian or soldier. They were evacuated from Gaza, our settlements, which called for a very expensive cost. We had to mobilize 45,000 policemen to take out our settlers from there. We spent $2.5 billion. The passages were open. Money was sent to Gaza. We suggested aid in many ways - economically, medically, and otherwise. We were very careful not to make the lives of the civilian people in Gaza difficult. Still I have not heard until now a single person who could explain to us reasonably: why are they firing rockets against Israel? What are the reasons? What is the purpose?"

Peres concluded: "As a nation, we feel united. As a nation, there is wholehearted support for the army, the way they handled it, their restraint, their discrimination, and their responsibility. The great winner can be reason, and reason will lead to peace. We are very serious, in a serious mood. Many of our children are still in the shelters, and we would like them, like the children of Gaza, to breathe fresh air again. This is the story, and whoever asks us to stop shooting - they have to change the address. Let them turn to Hamas and ask them to stop shooting, and there won't be shooting."
