The first time I heard of JTF was when a video of Chaim and Sarah bat Tzvi praising Rabin's elimination had reached the news in Israel. But I didn't know who were they and anyway I belonged to the other political camp.
Then in 2004 or 2005 in the months preceding the Expulsion I discovered JTF through a link page in a website opposing the Expulsion. At first I considered JTF to be extremist and racist. However from time to time I used to read the featured articles and some of them were really good I liked their style which was intelligent and humorous, especially the side pictures with subscript remarks.
In time I got used to the harsh language and it didn't bother me anymore and I have started listening to the weekly audios regularly since late 2005.
