Facebook has partnered with the Israeli government to censor Palestinian speech.



In October 2015, just as the Jerusalem Intifada erupted, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put forth this crude analysis, saying: “what has been going on is due to the combination of Internet and Islamist extremism.” “It has been Osama Bin Laden meets [Facebook founder] Mark Zuckerberg,” he added.
More recently, in July 2016, Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan charged that “some” of the blood of the Israelis harmed in Palestinian attacks “is on Zuckerberg’s hands” because “the dialogue, the incitement, the lies of the young Palestinian generation are happening on the Facebook platform.”
