What about the allegations that Facebook is suppressing informating regarding the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestine?

Is that an eye roll as well in your book or is it newsworthy?



I would personally put that in the eye roll category.

The problem is that pro-Palestine camp is a pretty active group of evangelists that inserts itself into every discussion and comments on unrelated posts. You have to moderate them to avoid alienating or fatiguing your normal users.

A funny example is LinkedIn of all places. Personally, I constantly see pro-Palestine propaganda liked or shared from connections. Most of that content is demagoguery or outright lies. Has no place on a work-related so I also report it.

I have no dog in this race but the content of the pro-Palestine crowd is simply low-quality.


It‘s good that they are preventing the spread of fake news and anti-Israel hate content.

Pro Palestine propaganda is already incredibly pervasive and annoying anywhere you look online.

There can be a news article about Dubai chocolate and Palestine brainwashed bots will comment „…ok but what about PALESTINE?“


How would Palestine be able to afford bots?


heard of Iran once? or Qatar? or Russian propaganda machine?

I hope my fellow leftist spam at least some factual information about israels atrocities. Since you might not find them on facebook.

And yes yes, i know what you want to reply: "but whatabout hamas". Do it :)


As a homosexual I am completely unable to emphasize with cultures and nationalities that kill my kind. Many of us think like that, but embedded in the „left and liberal“ groups we often are and the threat of violence from watermelons, we need to hide our real opinion.

Though Hamas as argument is good enough. With the support they enjoy among Palestinians, a distinction between civilian and hamas fighter is generally not possible.


It's justified for gays to support Israel on the grounds that Israel is socially liberal (or that Palestinian society is illiberal, which it is).

It's not so smart for gays to be cavalier about 'left and liberal' groups considering how recent and how tenuous any tolerance of homosexuality is within right-wing and conservative groups.

That might be a horribly obvious and boring thing to write, but it's the sad truth.


When you support Hamas, you already lost the argument.


Same way they afford rockets? UNRWA.


Facebook is filled with russian propaganda or elon posts. Seems like facebook dont care and its business as usual with no regards to any externalities they cause.
