IS-Tube, hosted on a Google-owned IP block and registered to what appears to an address in Amsterdam, is associated with a specific Twitter handle, which directed users to the webpage as part of a new hashtag campaign launched on February 26. The country of origin search includes Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Algeria, the Afghanistan region, Saudi Arabia and the Sinai, demonstrating ISIS’s expansive claims of influence throughout the region. Videos can also be searched by country of origin. Visitors to the site can search for the videos they want to find via a search bar, or via drop-down menus that categorize videos by narrator - for example, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi or spokesman Abu Muhamed al Adnani – or by media group, including ISIS’s Al Hayat, Al Itisam, Furqan Media and Ajnad Media. The website features a large collection of propaganda videos created by official ISIS media outlets, including ISIS’s feature-length film Flames of War, which presents an apocalyptic struggle between the terrorist group and the West, and the recent video showing the murder of Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh, who was captured by ISIS and burned to death. It has since been removed.Ī website calling itself IS-Tube, providing access to an archive of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) propaganda videos, is the latest example of ISIS’ sophisticated social media communication and recruitment strategies, which have influenced a diverse group of people from around the world, including from the United States, throughout 2014. Update - 2/27/15: ADL contacted Google about the website this morning. Update - 3/3/15: ADL contacted Twitter about the associated handle.
