Israeli “trolls” on Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

People should be aware that Wikipedia, Facebook and other places sometimes contain individuals who post items while misleading people about their identities.

Please keep in mind that facebook and other online forums are in many ways anonymous and, according to several articles in the israeli media and elsewhere, are infiltrated by IDF soldiers and students with false identities. See, for example https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/142374#.UHjVdRgYLuw and https://electronicintifada.net/content/ei-exclusive-pro-israel-groups-plan-rewrite-history-wikipedia/7472 and https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/israeli-students-get-2000-spread-state-propaganda-facebook

I expect that some of the posts critical of me originate with such “trolls,” as they are apparently called.
