1. So why does Y'Netnews use Facebook
Eliezer ,   Jerusalem   (07.29.11)
The use of Facebook in Israel should be banned immediately unless they change their attitude
2. does this mean we're all moving to google+?

3. #2 - excellent idea... google is much more
seadog1946 ,   Arthur Kill, NY   (07.29.11)
pliable when it comes to thought control... it's experience in Red China made it see the light.
4. Facebook is scum anyway
Devorah   (07.29.11)
If you don't log out, they track every move you make.
5. Prophets are also historical events
Jonny ,   Cape Town   (07.29.11)
Holocaust Denial most be one of the most virulent forms of hate speech. Given the amount of evidence from eye witnesses, visual, naratives and record keeping accounts, I wonder where free speech comes into it. If their policy is as stated, "which don't generally prohibit people from making statements about historical events," I wonder if they host sites which deny the legitimacy of various prophets, as these to are "Historical Events"
6. I deactivated my FB acc...
Adam ,   Golan Heights Israel   (07.29.11)
...about half a year ago. Aside from being a waste of time and a desperate popularity contest for millions of sad people, it really is an organisational platform for thousands of virulent hate and pro-terror groups. In addition, it is also eerily reminiscent of some ideas out of 1984, the Orwell novel. As Deborah said, they track your every move. It makes for a very convenient database for the world gov't, of billions of people online. I am just waiting for the day when it is made mandatory to have a FB profile before you can surf the web.
7. time to abandon Facebook
tiki ,   belgium   (07.29.11)
Holocaust denial is the most shamefull, synical and hatefull thing there is. For facebook, allowing it to be used freely under the 'lame excuse of 'free speech, is shamefull byond words and a 'slap in the face and total disrespect of, not only 6 million murdered Jews, but to the more than ""100 MILLION"" people who died (this is including the Germans) in this horrible war. If facebook believes that 'free speech has more value than remembering over 100 million dead people with respect, than Facebook doesn't have any values at all. It's just garbage, an enabler for war & incitement.......all for 'it's own profit.
8. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ANYBODY?
Ed G. ,   Philadelphia, USA   (07.29.11)
It would be not only revolutionary in scope but would perhaps also be educational for the millions of stupid ignorant (Ok, arab muslim) people around the world who live, breath and EAT Holocaust/Shoah denial 365 days a year, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day. Funny, it was one of their leaders who helped the nazis, the mufti haj husseini. Islam IS part responsible for the attrocities of the nazis, according to nazi war criminal Dieter Wisliceny who testified at the Nuremberg Trials after the war. Look him up, he was Shoah architect eichmann's secretary, no less: "According to testimony by Nazi war criminals, the Mufti's influence was critical to the German decision to annihilate the Jews of Europe. At the Nuremberg Trials in July 1946, Dieter Wisliceny testified: "The Mufti was one of the INITIATORS of the systematic extermination of European Jews & had been a collaborator & adviser of Eichmann & Himmler in the execution of this plan... He was one of Eichmann's best friends & had constantly incited him to ACCELERATE THE EXTERMINATION MEASURES. I heard him say, accompanied by Eichmann, that he had visited the gas chambers incognito."
9. facebook is the devil incarnate
yonatan silverman ,   tel aviv israel   (07.30.11)
Facebook, You Tube, Tweeter are pseudo media. They do not transmit human communication. But only serve their own self contained media stimulation purposes. But media is like a drug. Once people try it, the stimulation goes to the brain. They are falsely called social media. But they have no bearing on society. Only crazed media stimulation per se. Facebook media stimulation triggered the so-called Arab Spring. It has no philosophical or doctrinal foundation. No one wrote the Arab Spring Manifesto. Facebook. Its management cites free speech but turns its back on the Shoah. A sign they see themselves as a universe unto itself. The devil incarnate.
10. Judicial Fact
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (07.30.11)
The Holocaust isd Judicial Fact. Therefore, in the US, Holocaust denial is a crime. If facebook is incorporated here or has servers here, they can be forced to comply.
11. Lets deny all of history.
redbeard ,   usa   (07.30.11)
What would facebook do if other FACTS in history were denied? Would they say this is freedom of speech also???
12. Stay away from it
Ypip ,   Canada   (07.31.11)

ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.31.11)

14. Denial of Holocaust is not expression of
Vardina   (07.31.11)
