Ori Kol, one of the administrators of a secret Facebook group called "Reinforcing the Left on the Web," addressed the group's members June 22 in an impassioned video uploaded under the heading "We have won!" Kol's declared victory was over a fundraising drive by the Nachala settlement movement to rehabilitate an illegal building in the West Bank outpost of Givat Gal near Kiryat Arba, demolished by the Israeli Civil Administration. The activity initiated by the leftist Facebook group included an unrelenting bombardment of the Facebook page of the Headstart crowdfunding website with harsh posts blasting the drive, eventually forcing the website to take it down.

"Congratulations to our friends who have been involved in the activities against the settlers. Well done!'' said Kol in the video. ''It's thanks to you that we have managed to torpedo the drive. We have been active on Facebook; we have sent emails; we have updated each other in the group; and we created a momentum that eventually forced Headstart to take it down."

In reaction, Headstart CEO Yossi Meiri told Al-Monitor, "We host on our website all sorts of ventures from all social classes and all political hues. There is no discrimination of any kind. As for the Kiryat Arba venture, we received complaints concerning its legality. We checked the complaints with the Civil Administration and subsequently removed the venture from the website, the way we would remove any venture that is deemed illegal by the state authorities."

Asked about the group's activity in an interview to TV Channel 10, right-wing activist Daniella Weiss was disdainful, stating, "They are a bunch of leftists who feel that their days at the helm are about to end soon. … In fact, their days are numbered." But in this particular case, at least, she was wrong. As noted, Headstart did remove the drive from its website, despite the online counterattacks led by Weiss.
