Outrage Ensues After Facebook Closes Multiple Activist Accounts

(MEE) Who decides what can or cannot be published on social media?

Earlier this month Facebook, it appears, decided that at least some of the responsibility should fall on the Israeli government.

In a controversial move, the Israeli government and Facebook reportedly agreed to work together to determine how to tackle incitement on social media, aimed primarily at Palestinians.

Not long after Facebook’s agreement, several Palestinian pages with millions of readers found themselves closed and administrators locked out, in a move believed to be directly connected to the agreement between Facebook and the Israeli government.

By last Friday, however, Palestinian journalists and activists said they had had enough and announced a temporary boycott of Facebook, protesting what they call Facebook’s complicity in Israeli censorship and putting up an upside down Facebook sign as their profile photo.
Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked is the main figure behind the controversy. Earlier this month, she boasted that the social network had been overwhelmingly happy to comply with Israeli demands.

“Over the past four months, Israel submitted 158 requests to Facebook” and Facebook had accepted 95 percent of those cases, said Shaked, who is best known outside Israel for her infamous comments against a Palestinian state. It is believed that over the years, Facebook and Twitter have deleted thousands of posts, pages and accounts in response to demands from the Israeli ministry of justice.

In a few hours, #FBcensorsPalestine had garnered over 300 million impressions, with users rejecting both the closure of pro-Palestine pages, and the latest collaboration between Facebook and the Israeli government.

Twitter users were quick to highlight the irony in Facebook choosing to work with Shaked, who had previously used Facebook as a platform to call for the killing of Palestinians and the double standards employed in silencing one narrative.

A day after the first call went out, and a whole day before the campaign was supposed to officially start on Sunday, Facebook apologised for disabling the Palestinian journalists’ accounts. A spokesperson told the Electronic Intifada: “The pages were removed in error and restored as soon as we were able to investigate.”

But campaigners would not be silenced. Following the apology, many reiterated their demands for Facebook to immediately withdraw from the agreement, to publish the agreement and its provisions publicly, to share the mechanisms of implementation required by the agreement, and more importantly, to highlight the conditions that allow Facebook to enter into dialogue with governments that seek to curtail expression.

The controversy comes after Facebook recently deleted posts sharing an iconic Vietnam war photo, featuring a naked girl running away from a napalm attack.

Waarom gooien Palestijnen altijd met stenen? Waarom doen niemand iets aan het Palestijns geweld?

After the controversial UNESCO vote approving a second resolution recognising only the significance to Muslims of Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Israel is reaping the result of its failure to stress the significance of the site to Judaism – just as it failed to emphasise the issue of Jewish refugees from Arab countries, argues Zvi Gabay. Amazingly enough, an Arabic version of his article, which first appeared in Maariv on 26 October 2016, was published in Al-Quds al Arabi, the London-based mouthpiece of the Palestinian cause. Here is an abridged version.

The UNESCO Resolution adopting the Palestinian initiative to ignore the link between the Jewish people and the Temple Mount (Haram al-Sharif) and the fact that this is the most sacred place of Judaism should sound a warning of what’s to come.

UNESCO’s decision, which ignored the link between Judaism and the Temple Mount, met with sharp condemnation from politicians from the right and left in Israel. However, it was us who underestimated the gravity of UNESCO’s decision and did not denounce it, giving the impression that our historic sites are not important.

If we neglect our national history, how can we ask others not to do so? How to prevent poisonous Palestinian propaganda that ignores what has even been written in Islamic holy books?

The issue of refugees is also neglected in modern history. The New York Times recently published an editorial titled “At the boiling point with Israel”. It called on pressure on Israel to agree a deal with the Arabs, which included solutions to issues such as security, Jerusalem, borders and Palestinian refugees. For some reason it ignored the issue of Jews who came from Arab countries empty-handed and arrived as refugees in Israel. The US Congress, in a decision in 2008, confirmed that the issue of refugees from the Middle East, including the Palestinian refugees, as well as Jewish refugees from Arab countries, should be on the table. So why no mention of Jews from Arab lands being given refuge?

Palestinian refugees are a central weapon in Palestinian propaganda against Israel. Why on the global agenda is the other side of the Middle Eastern refugees coin ignored – Israel ignored the Jews from Arab countries, just as it did not strongly emphasize the historical meaning of the Temple Mount for the people of Israel. The vacuum has been filled by Palestinian propaganda, which ignores the historical circumstances of the destruction of Jerusalem and the tragedy of Arab-born Jews who came to Israel as refugees. It is true that these Jews rebuilt themselves by their own strength and ceased to be refugees, but this is no reason to ignore the tragedy that befell them, robbing them of their rights and their property.

The state that ignores its history will find that the world also belittles its national heritage. It will continue to suffer from hostile treatment from the countries of the world in which Israel is considered guilty of occupying territory and the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian refugees. The sooner the situation is rectified, the better.

It must be stressed that seeking rights for Jewish refugees from Arab countries is
not only about compensation. It is an attempt to seek truth and justice; that the rich 2,500 year history of Jews in the region is not expunged from the history of the 20th century; that Arab governments take responsibility for their ill-treatment of their Jewish populations; and that the suffering of Jewish refugees be recognized and
redressed.
