Facebook pulls anti-Israel page - after being exposed by NGO

Facebook has agreed to pull a page that incited against Israelis, but only after the Shurat Hadin-Israel Law Center NGO exposed its double standard in removing inciting pages.

As part of its investigation, Shurat Hadin launched two different pages, one entitled “Stop Palestinians” and one entitled “Stop Israelis”. It then proceeded to post almost identical content on both pages, with one inciting against Israelis and the other inciting against Palestinians.

But when members of the NGO complained to Facebook management about the contents of the pages, Facebook only took down the page that incited against Palestinians, while claiming that the page inciting against Israelis did not violate the social network’s “community standards”.

Shurat Hadin has indicated it plans to use the results of this investigation in its recently filed lawsuit against Facebook in a New York court, in which the organization alleges the social network allowed jihadists to openly recruit and train terrorists and plan terror attacks on its pages.

Since the investigation was made public, however, Facebook seems to have changed its tune, according to The Observer.

In an e-mail sent this past Wednesday and obtained exclusively by the website, Facebook rescinded its initial decision that the anti-Israel page met “community standards” and claimed it had “made a mistake” in its earlier decision.

Lousy, rotten, left-wing, Marxist scum.

But I repeat myself.

I hope the lawsuit proceeds.

someone should try this in america as well because I bet they also do the same with inciting violence in america. Leftist incitement is okay, but right wing speaking the truth is called hate speech

Food for thought:

If there is a shadow government (CIA?), then it controls social media. This would include Facebook, and Twitter and other major media companies.

Theres a secret government, inside the government, and I dont control it.

If the Clinton Crime Family couldn’t control it — that’s probably a good thing.

Try that with Black Lives Matter & White Lives Matter

But the page inciting against Israelis did not violate the social network’s “community standards”. Facebook is, like Obama, virulently anti-Jewish. It’s okay to hate the Jews on that social network, and far more okay in public than before these terrible Obama years.

Facebook, like all leftist organizations, has chosen the side of the hate-America crowd.
