A Facebook page created on Friday following the abduction of three Israeli teenagers by terrorists near Hebron had garnered close to 78,000 "likes" by Monday afternoon. The "Bring Back Our Boys" Facebook page, which aims to raise international awareness of the kidnapping, acquired more than 7,000 "likes" in its first four hours, and numerous viewers uploaded pictures of themselves holding signs reading "Bring Back Our Boys." The page is predicated on the international protest formula initiated by U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, who created a page called "Bring Back Our Girls" to campaign for the release of 200 Christian Nigerian girls kidnapped by the Muslim terrorist group Boko Haram. Viewers who arrive at the "Bring Back Our Boys" page are asked to share it with friends, with an emphasis on celebrities who can more effectively raise the page's profile by adding pictures of themselves with the slogan. Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky also uploaded a picture of himself with a sign reading: "While we pray for the safety of the three Israeli boys who were abducted by terrorists on Thursday, I am joining the employees of the Jewish Agency and Israeli representatives around the world in saying: Bring back our boys."
