Facebook blocks Palestine Network for Dialogue’s page

Palestinian Information Center – November 18, 2016

cthx0pjxgaa7nyiGAZA – Facebook administration resumed its policy of targeting Palestinian media pages after blocking Palestine Network for Dialogue’s page for the third time Friday.

The Palestine Network for Dialogue, an online discussion board, was blocked without any prior notice although it has 70,000 followers.

Palestine Network for Dialogue specializes in publishing stories about the plight of Palestinians both in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip in addition to those living in 1948 occupied Palestine.

Last September, several pro-Palestinian Facebook pages and accounts were removed including accounts of seven editors of the Palestinian Information Center.

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.

  1. The relentless “squeeze” on the Palestinians continues. Maybe some of the $585,000,000 that the USA spent last year on “promoting Freedom and Democracy” around the World should have been spent on the Palestinians. NO?….No, I didn’t think so……..

  2. Why would Mark ZUCKERBERG be such an asshole? If someone blocked part of FAKEBOOK, he’d be screaming about freedom of the press.

    First they came for the Palestinian press, but I said nothing, as I am not a Palestinian.

    Then they shut down Syrian bloggers, but I said nothing, since I don’t live thee.

    Then they came for the alternative news blogs, but I said nothing, since I don’t have one.

    Then they came for me…
