An experiment by the Israel Law Center sees the social network banning anti-Palestinian incitement, while anti-Israel hate remains online

An experiment designed and carried out by the Israel Law Center (Shurat HaDin) purports to show that in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict’s Facebook arena, the odds are stacked against Israel. In a simple test, the organization tracked down two existing Facebook pages – one pro-Israeli, and one pro-Palestinian – and uploaded content to each that was rife with incitement to violence and hate.


“Guess which page Facebook removed for violating rules against incitement,” said attorney Nitzana Darshan-Leitner, who heads the organization. “With over 30 Israelis killed in terror attacks since October – with many of the murderers receiving encouragement and motivation from social media – it is shocking that Facebook would continue to ignore instances of incitement against Israelis, while quickly fulfilling its obligation to remove other instances of incitement when it sees fit to do so, as we showed in this experiment,” she said....

...In one example from mid-October, Shurat HaDin said that a 19-year-old Palestinian, “Mohammed Halabi, published a post on his Facebook page stating that the Third Intifada had erupted and that the current war is for the al-Aqsa Mosque. One day later, Halabi stabbed and murdered Aharon Benita z”l and Rabbi Nehemia Lavi z”l." “There are many examples. In general, Facebook is being flooded with many messages in support of terrorists,” and the platform has consistently ignored requests to intervene and prevent posting of such messages, the organization claimed.

1. Knock off the apartheid and perhaps over time that will change.

2. Decent folks have a problem with incitement to murder Jews.

They don't say "godspeed" to Jew hating maniac terrorists either.

5. "Decent folks" don't force a population to live in squalor either.

6. Palestinians have had many opportunities for their own land....

....free of occupation, settlements. Opportunity to work with Israel, be successfull...

What's odd is that for someone who whines about Palestinians having no state, you're probably against every offer Palestinians have rejected for their own homeland. Which basically makes you and other rejectionists pro-occupation, settlements...

Heck, I bet you favor "Apartheid" over the Palestinians accepting the 2001 Clinton Parameters or Olmert's 2008 offer that Abbas rejected.

10. Squalor?

You kidding...
You really believe?
highest standards of living in any country of the ME...
No wonder you believe what you believe... You misinformed....

7. "Decent' being the keyword.

3. so will Shurat HaDin be suing Mark Zuckerberg?

[shira]

4. Do you agree with FB closing one page while keeping the other open? n/t

8. It's nothing new!

Facebook does it all the time...I reported a page because it contained nudity...guess what, Facebook found that it didn't violate their community standards!

Even though nudity is a violation of community standards!



FB isn't always consistent with their "community standards"!

9. Shurat HaDin (Israeli Law Center) is an extreme right-wing pro-Israel organization that uses lawfare

to make the lives of Palestinians miserable worldwide. They were the ones that tried to sue Jimmy Carter and failed, and now they'll sue Facebook...

They can't be trusted, and this is most probably a fake story. If they were serious, they wouldn't have to create fake Facebook profiles and fake hate posts.

Here's an article from NYT that details some of their batshittery:

Crusading for Israel in a Way Some Say Is Misguided
Source: The New York Times, JAN. 23, 2015

JERUSALEM — She is a crusading lawyer who serially sues rogue nations, terror groups and international banks to show, as she put it, “there is a price to Jewish blood.” She is a mother of six who, while seven months pregnant with triplets, astonished an Israeli court with a motion requesting that a hearing be moved to her home. (It was denied.).

Yet it took Nitsana Darshan-Leitner three years to figure out how to bake her own challah, the braided egg bread that is a staple of the Sabbath table.

“You take different recipes from different places, and you’re trying and you’re trying and you’re trying, and you say, ‘How come it doesn’t come out like the bakery?'” she recalled in a recent interview. “You can’t have a shortcut. You can’t let it rise for half an hour in the oven — no, hour and a half, two hours — and then you have to let them rise again after you knead them, after you braid them. If you want something perfect, you have to do it the hard way.”

There is a metaphor hidden somewhere in that challah dough for the relentless — and relentlessly publicized — but often fruitless campaign Ms. Darshan-Leitner, 40, has been waging for more than a decade to empty the pocketbooks of people who harm Israelis.

Her arguments are regularly rejected by courts. About 90 percent of the $1.6 billion in default judgments against no-show defendants including Iran, Syria, North Korea and the militant Palestinian group Hamas have not been paid. Attacks continue, and she continues to file complaints (and news bulletins).
