Infiltration!

I joined Facebook at the urging of a friend and spend very little time on it. In one of the occasional bouts of activity at the direct urging of my friend, I joined a series of groups.

One of those groups was nothing I would find objectionable (amazingly rare) and so I joined it. I had better things to do for several months than spend time on Facebook (lying on the floor of my apartment motionless for hours on end is more enjoyable) but a return stimulated by curiosity about the JIDF brought me back.

For a slight diversion, the JIDF is the Jewish Internet Defense Force who took over a few pro-Islamic Terror Facebook groups. Relevant to this is that Jihadist or anti-Semitic activists hacked or took over various previously innocent groups.

Sadly, one of them was the one I was in but I never noticed it until today. The last change made was a week ago but I am still filled with shame at my lack of vigilance. Nonetheless, I have seen my bit of the online proxy war.
