According to this article in the Toronto Star, Shin Bet claims that spies are being recruited via facebook by Hamas and other organizations.
"Arabs are trying to recruit spies on the popular social networking site", writes the Associated Press, "The Shin Bet security agency warned Israelis against answering unsolicited messages or sharing telephone numbers and other sensitive information over the Internet. It said there have been numerous incidents recently in which violent groups tried to recruit Israelis through Facebook and other networking sites."
The irony of this article isn't lost on me.
Shin Bet has long come under fire for continuing to torture captives in spite of having been ordered to stop by the Israeli Supreme Court, killing prisoners without trial (the Kav 300 affair), committing assassinations, and deporting peaceful speakers who criticize Israel's policies (Norman Finkelstein, for example).
Shin Bet has been using this slick website, complete with blog, to solicit talent worldwide since 2006.
Apparently it's okay for an organization with a long history of torture and violent assassinations to recruit via the internet, as long as it's an Israeli organization.
