Zuckerberg is a poo eating hypocrite. Walls are racist and exclude people. Puts big walls around all his property.

Im certain that insanely complicated decades old situation would utterly resolve itself if only Facebook got its together. Totally certain.

lol...gawker. While there is merit to the story behind the "article"...they definitely made sure to distort and turn it into complete silliness.

What was said(which is true) is that there is a lot of incitement going on these days on social networks, especially facebook. I've seen plenty of pages over the years calling for the murdering of jews and israelis that didn't get removed in a timely manner, or at all. Many of the Palestinians that committed acts in recent months wrote statuses on facebook about wanting to die as martyrs, saw/shared videos of others who died, etc. Nobody "blamed" facebook for it, but it definitely contributes to it. That's just an undisputable fact.

Here is something else you might find interesting:

Israel is not Turkey or Russia or China, it doesn't block youtube channels or facebook. Anything is shared, anything is seen. That's the way it is and the way it should and will remain.

Me? I personally don't care if Facebook is responsible or not. I believe in freedom of speech and expression but not in incitement. I think most things on Facebook have a place there but if they have their own guidelines they need to follow them, equally. Otherwise, let people write or share whatever they want.
