Previously Facebook closed down Shehab News Agency's page for an extended period after complaints from a Zionist, who later openly bragged about it on Twitter.
Facebook is, of course, not alone in this. Last year one phone call from Israel's PM Netanyahu to France's 'president' Francois Hollande resulted in the latter ordering Eutelsat to drop satellite broadcasts for Palestinian Al-Aqsa TV.
Naturally this troubled none of the 'champions' of 'press freedom' in the so-called 'West', just like the closure of Palestinian TV and radio satellites on both sides of the Green Line have resulted with total silence from those in the 'West' who pretend to be champions of free speech and free press.
Freedom of the press is for the 'Western' friends of Apartheid Israel not a noble ideal, but something that can be discarded and trampled upon when needed - like when social media has offered a way for voices of occupied Palestine to reach the wider world bypassing the traditional media crewed by Israel's loyal henchmen.
Support the voices of Palestine in social media, don't let Israel build another illegal Wall in cyberspace to stop them from being heard.
