well, criticizing Israel is part of free speech. the page was calling for uprising against Israeli occupation. how different is this from calling to oust corrupt Mubarak? why is it ok not to have a venue to criticize israel while it is ok to insult the prophet of islam?
- GiraffeNecktie 16y agoAll valid points but it would only be a free speech issue if Facebook was a government or publicly-supported institution. Mosques have the right to block Christians from proselytizing on their premises (and vice versa). That's not preventing free speech (they're still totally free to stand on a streetcorner and vent), it's giving the guy who owns the private property the right to use it the way he wants. People often misinterpret free speech as meaning they get some kind of universal pass but free speech actually has very specific limits (and for good reason).
- ArabGeek 16y agodo not compare facebook to a church or a masjed, facebook is a social media platform where we all from different religions and background come together share news and opinions. blocking one voice against the occupier, favoring anti islam stuff while censoring anti -israeli occupation voices is a racists move
