Thousands of Israelis join lawsuit against Facebook over pages inciting violence
Fox News Judiciary ^ | October 27, 2015 | Malia Zimmerman

Thousands of Israeli Jews took legal action against Facebook in a New York court Monday, alleging it allowed jihadists to openly recruit and train terrorists and plan terror attacks on its pages.

Some 20,000 Israelis, organized by the Israel-based non-profit Shurat HaDin -The Israel Law Center - joined a civil lawsuit filed Monday in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, seeking an injunction against Facebook.

The law center wants to force Facebook not only to remove the terrorists' pages, but also to better monitor and block users who post videos glorifying and encouraging terrorist attacks, and publish messages with instructions on how to carry out an attack.

“The terrorists do not come on their own; they write posts and encourage their friends to kill Jews,” said Israeli attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, director of Shurat HaDin. “Facebook has been transformed into an anti-Semitic incubator for murder.”

Funny thing is, about 18,000 of these 20,000 Isrealis, will be voting for Hillary in 2016.

And the last 1,500 will be Republicans voting for Jeb Bush because he supports amnesty.

Good. I hope Israel sues FB back to the tin can and string era. They allow hate against decency but kick off anyone who disagrees with them.

"Thousands of Israeli Jews took legal action against Facebook"

Why can't they be just Israelis?  Am I too secular?

Under the Communications Decency Act, a website cannot be sued for content posted by commenters or subscribers. So this lawsuit may not go anywhere.

Like clockwork the blame the Jew BS starts. The fact is, that American Jews living in Israel were 85% Romney. Nothing but west Texas and parts of Oklahoma even come close.
