1. Hear hear!
keren tzafon ,   Tzafon Israel   (10.27.15)
While we 're at it we might stop youtube from publishing graphic beheadings and indeed the stop the news services themselves from posting CCTV video footage of attacks and "neutralizations". I long for the days when it was considered too shocking to publish even a photograph of a dead body. Now we can watch the death in technicolour. Definitely dehumanizing.
2. Support Shurat Hadin instead of the A.D.L.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.27.15)
Shurat Hadin sues terrorists, stops flotillas and is always on the front lines in the war for good and decency. The A.D.L., on the other hand, seems to exist mostly to slam Israel's best friends, such as Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Ben Carson. I wonder if the A.D.L. is a branch of the Democrat Party. Support worthy Shurah Hadin instead of the worthless A.D.L.
3. Another example of in your face hutzpah ,...
split   (10.27.15)
It's the reaction to your attitude and conduct stupid ... the decades long brutal occupation, the land grab, the settlers, a collective punishment, the demolitions and on, and on, and on ,...
4. Facebook is guilty
C   (10.27.15)
facebook is guilty of incitement and of support of terror and terror organisations. facebook does not follow its own community standards as published.
5. BSD Facebook
Avi L.   (10.28.15)
Facebook takes down breast feeding pages for "nudity/pornography" but condones calls for murder. Boycott Sanction and Divest Facebook at once!
6. Unlike
TC ,   AZ,USA   (10.28.15)
Israel and the countries in Europe, free speech is guaranteed by the US Constitution. There are very few legal restraints on speech; even the Pentagon Papers were allowed to be printed because there can be no prior restraint of free speech. Get over it, learn to live with it; adopt policies that don't deny others their human rights to self-determination. I think the attacks on Israeli citizens are horrible; I don't think they can be justified, though many commentators here justify the killings Palestinians all of the time, even invoking Nazi like expulsion platforms. there is free speech for that kind of incitement, I guess.
7. US Law Prevents this Suit
Jake ,   Haifa   (10.28.15)
US law gives immunity to a party which hosts content posted by others, for lawsuits arising out of that content . Facebook will say: this is not our content, we did not post it, therefore we are immune from suit and they will win.
8. Stab Facebook Managers?
Durk ,   San Diego   (10.28.15)
What would Facebook do about a Facebook page promoting stabbing Facebook management.

Facebook is for lazy inept social slugs.
13. # 8 Ask a Jew in Israel...
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (10.28.15)

14. Katherine Sierra @ FB ,...
split   (10.28.15)
Selective finger pointing - Obviously you haven't read all those hate mongering comments, the incitement to murder and expulsion of an entire nation from it's land by your homies or conveniently ignoring them ,...
15. #10 What's laughable is you don't read Hebrew
Benji ,   US   (10.28.15)
Perhaps you dreamed it. You're not the only Muslim embarrassed by the barbaric behavior of Palestinians.
16. How can one join?
nibor ,   israel   (10.28.15)
What about google and yahoo? They allow inciteful posts, and the ISIS internet site.
17. #12
Jake ,   Haifa   (10.29.15)
The US Congress has already decided. Look up CDA Section 230. A party hosting content cannot be held liable for that content in the US.
