Interesting why it's only a temporary ban, others have had permanent bans for infractions like that.

It's easy to get amped up on social media and say outrageous things. The problem is he really believes what he is saying. The world gets harder to live in when we have absolutists and ideologue running the show on both sides of the conflict. I think there will never be peace in that region, there is too much hate. Palestinians have their land stolen, Israel is not compensating victims and keeps building illegal settlements and enforces a brutal occupation. There is no end do that. We have to start holding leaders accountable. I applaud facebook for doing the right thing.

Which do I hate more, Facebook in an overly powerful privately held position "legally" restricting free speach, or the US' blind backing and funding of Israel and SA?

I'm having trouble picking a side in this one

Facebook sucks, but upon hearing this.....

Should be a full ban

Second chances for hate speech. Favoritism much.

As far as I'm concerned the Arabs have been occupying stolen land for 1400 years. That some of that stolen land now has been stolen from them is poetic justice.

Did Twitter or Facebook ban all the Dems who called for Trump or his family to be targeted?

Did that Asian lady get any kind of ban for saying cancel white people?

No? Ok, carry on.

People have been banned for less.

Him and his criminal family to go away and moderate voices to prevail.

I'll never understand why he lied about shooting people looting from the Superdome but either way I'm glad he's dead.

We've been down that road. The paleos always end up blowing it up, literally.

Lets face it, if the roles were reversed the arabs would do far worse, and have.

Historically the Arabs protected the Jews from Christian persocution and slaughter during the Crusades and other times in history.

He has a point here though.


"Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime have official pages on Facebook. There are also endless pages calling for the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews. Thousands of violent and extreme left-wing posts against me and my family, including threats of physical violence and immoral murder threats.

"All of these do not violate Facebook's community rules."
