Pro-Israel Arab Journalist's Page Whitewashed by Facebook
The Jewish Press ^ | January 16, 2012 | Lori Lowenthal Marcus

“Fatah couldn’t stop me, Hamas couldn’t stop me, not even Facebook will stop me from continuing my work,” is what Arab Israeli journalist Khaled abu Toameh told The Jewish Press Tuesday morning, January 15, in a lengthy interview about Facebook’s bizarre treatment of his Facebook page.

In the space of less than 24 hours, abu Toameh’s page was shut down, parts of it were scrubbed, and then it was back, without a word of explanation. For everyone who breathed a sigh of relief that this journalist hasn’t been censored, who hoped it had just been a glitch – the truth is that something very wrong has happened. Several articles dealing with corruption in the Palestinian Authority and in the Jordanian intelligence were scrubbed from abu Toameh’s page while his page was hidden from the public.

So, to whom did this happen, what does it mean, and who is behind it? The Jewish press can answer the first question, speculate about the second question, and share alarm about the third. Facebook isn’t talking.

This has happened to me on two different accounts, so I am shutting down my FB page and creating something just as good on my own.
