Facebook 'Jews' Group Suddenly Praises Hitler
Thursday , March 26, 2009
Some unsuspecting Facebook users may have fallen prey to a shocking prank.
A group on the social-networking site calling itself "I Heart Jews" garnered more than 2,000 members — until the group's name was suddenly changed to "Hitler: Great Modern Man of History," New York's WNYW-TV reports.
"It's disgusting. It's despicable," said Facebook user Wendy Erdheim, who had been part of the group. "Like, who would ever do that?"
Other members of the group were similarly shocked.
"Is this a joke?" posted one. "Because if it is not I am absolutely appalled."
Mark Weitzman of the Simon Wiesenthal Center said the name change was no accident.
"One would have to say that it's premeditated and that the intent was there from the beginning," says Weitzman.
"We don't allow groups that are hateful or threatening, for example, and will remove these as quickly as possible when they're reported," a Facebook spokesman said via e-mail to FoxNews.com.
He confirmed that this specific group's name had indeed been changed to "Hitler: Great Modern Man of History," but was later changed again to "I Love Jews" and was still on the site.
Postings to one of the 10 different "I Love Jews" groups on Facebook clearly referred to the Hitler name change, which appears to have taken place on or around March 18. It seems the group was renamed again Tuesday.

Maybe it got hacked? Nazis may have hacked it...
-
Who knows. Anything is possible.
-
Yes, I was the member of an IDF group online and some muzzies hacked it and shut it down for awhile...urgh..

Sounds to me as if hackers were the ones who had a hand in this.
I hate stuff like this.
Muslims, Nazis, and Radical Extremists can have you tube accounts and websites with vile messages of hatred and anything else they want; but a Facebook account with a simple "We heart Jews" title gets messed with by some vile people or person.
But, no one does anything about all these other groups promoting jihad or terrorism against anyone and everyone.
Imagine if someone on jtf hacked into the imbecile Joseph Cohen's site and changed from all the negative Islamic cr@p he posts to beautiful posts of Jews and Israel.
Can you imagine how he would freak out and jtf would be on every media outlet portrayed as a group of Jewish racists fanatics.
Oh, the outrage we would incur; but the morons who did this to the Facebook site, no problem, they can do their thing and not a word is said or done about it.
I am sorry for the rant, but I am so over this!!!

I really think this was sabotaged from the beginning. I wouldn't be surprised if a Nazi/Muslims/etc had created the group, just to change its name halfway through.

Muman; there is a group that is 100% Pro-Israel. I will find it for you.

AsheDina,
thank you but don't spend a lot of time... I don't like facebook for the reasons several rabbis have explained to me. I dont think it is a place for a righteous Jew, or a righteous gentile, to spend time on...
