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.

Easy, have Israel ban Facebook. Thrill squirm at the loss of the market.
You’d think Zuckerberg wouldn’t be a traitor to his people.
You may be right; this is not my area of the law, so I can't say for sure one way or the other. OTOH, Shurat HaDin really knows what they are doing - they have successfully sued various terror organizations and the PA in US federal courts. I would suspect that there is more here than meets the eye in terms of FB's liability.
Oh, and I hope that they not only win, but that FB feels the burn of horrible publicity for enabling the attack, mutilation and murder of dozens, if not hundreds, of innocent people but the scum-sucking Paleoswinians.
Did see One America News a couple of times and it looked pretty good.
The constitution is quite clear in the 1st amendment. Why do we disregard freedom of speech if we hate what is said? Where does that end ? What if we advocate the death of ISIS members? Do we get sued? I am amazed at the lack of knowledge of the United States Constitution.
"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."
I agree with DesertRhino. First of all, not all of them are US citizens, so they won't be voting for anyone here. Of those that are American citizens, the percentage that would feel politically at home here on FR is VERY high - yes, on the order of 85%-90%, as DesertRhino says. Liberal American Jews generally don't move to Israel from the US, they don't have the religious fervor and don't want to give up the comforts of life here (among which is not getting drafted, or having your kids drafted, into the IDF and almost certainly being tossed into combat). Besides, given that Shrillary is a lighter-colored, female version of Obama, who has about a 4% approval rating in Israel, I don't think that any more than you can literally count on one hand will vote for Her Thighness.
Uzis are for girls.
Of course, my daughter was issued a Tavor. Now, THAT is a rifle.
(In seriousness, the UZI sucks in comparison to more modern weaponry. It has its place, but it is narrow.)
“I hope they put a little hurt on zuckerberg. Hes an extremist liberal.”
Fixed it for you:
I hope they put a little hurt on zuckerberg. Hes an Obuma fascist.
“Funny thing is, about 18,000 of these 20,000 Isrealis, will be voting for Hillary in 2016.”
You’re an idiot and misinformed.
Ex-pat or dual citizen Israelis vote overwhelmingly Republican.

Regarding Jeb, I’ve maxed out my contributions to Cruz and gave $5,000 to FreeRepublic. How are you doing?
There are Israeli citizens who are Christians or Muslims.
Aren't ALL Jews automatically dual citizens, or do they have to request it?
Having the same problem with google chrome. Getting lots of "malware" warnings. Not seeing any actual evidence of malware, but something is pissing off web browsers.
Liberals - can’t debate in the arena of ideas so they shut you down. I don’t like Google/Chrome and it’s not on my PC - U prefer FF but not my fav. I use Opera at times,
There are two types of Muslims. Those who want to murder you and those who encourage others to murder you.
Not a chance. The Israelis have finally awoken to the very real threat Iran poses to their existence and they have seen how Obama, Kerry, Rice, Clinton, Ernest and others have betrayed them to the enemy.
The election next November will see a historical shift by Jewish liberals away from the neo-Marxist Democrat Party, and some of us will be educating them in the ways of reality.
FB deliberately chooses savage towelheads over normal people.
saw this looking at another article about a sick 5 yr. old offered to choose Heaven or a hospital by her parents, in Oregon.
