Hamas slams FB for persistence in blocking Palestinian pages

Saturday 7-January-2017

The Hamas Movement has strongly denounced Facebook for blocking dozens of Palestinian pages describing the measure as “arbitrary” and “persistence in fulfilling Israel’s wishes.”

In a press release on Friday Hamas spokesman Husam Badran said that the subscribers of these removed “pages have the right to express their points of view and to say what they have in mind.”

Badran urged Palestinian activists and news outlets to seriously look for effective alternatives to Facebook stressing that this social networking site reached an advanced level in its antagonism towards the Palestinian people and their just cause.

The administration of Facebook on Friday launched a widespread suspension campaign against dozens of pages belonging to Hamas and Palestinian activists as part of its agreement with the Israeli regime to censure and remove anti-Israel accounts.
