Palestinian social media campaign celebrates kidnapping

(JNS.org) Palestinian activists have formed their own viral social media campaign to celebrate the June 12 kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers. Called “Three Shalits,” the Palestinian social media campaign references Gilad Shalit, the former Israeli soldier who was abducted by Hamas in 2006 and swapped for 1,027 Palestinian terrorist prisoners in 2011. The campaign’s logo is characterized by a three-finger salute in reference to the three recently kidnapped Israeli teens. Using the “Three Shalits” hashtag on Facebook and Twitter, there are hundreds of photographs of Palestinians and their supporters, including many young children, brandishing the three-finger salute in hopes that the Israeli teens will be used to free more Palestinian prisoners.
