It sad to see such an article in the top posts at HW... I wouldn't even bother to reply if not for good people getting the wrong picture on what's going on. Yes, Facebook does delete posts (Nothing new so far), though only ones which violate Facebook's rules. I live in Israel and not once I've been shown some horrible video of Palestinians attacking locals. I'm not here to blame, nor generalize. I'm saying that this case is nothing special, but rather any other case of posts violating Facebook's rules only in a larger scale and at a specific target, Israel. For what it's worth, the hatred being published about Israel does not go the other way around. I, and many others, do respect and have no hate for Palestinians. We do have some radicals though, but just like in any other society. The sad part of the story is we get casualties on a daily-basis. Almost every week you hear of a terror attack in any part of the country. Most of the attackers are of young age, some of them even take advantage of their youth for lighter punishments. Both sides are losing people, no doubt. But at the end of the day, what's happening is chaos in our streets being done by /any person/ from the other side who feels like it and go on a killing-spree and yet we get slandered over false accusations on the Internet which pictures a wrong description of the situation. I've yet to witness the same brutality being manifested against us the Israelis but to Palestinians on the streets. I wouldn't go talking about IDF besides saying you would laugh if you knew how many restrictions an IDF solider has in any situations /even if his life is in danger/.
TLDR; Do not believe /everything/ you read on the internet. Regardless of the publisher's reputation.
