Facebook turns Tel Aviv into 'Al Mas'Udiya'

Israelis who posted Facebook statuses in Tel Aviv during the weekend were surprised to find that according to Facebook, they were not in Tel Aviv - but rather in "Al Mas'Udiya."

The name refers to a town abandoned by Arab residents during the 1948 War of Independence, when the surrounding Arab nations tried and failed to destroy the nascent modern Jewish state.

The location of the village, which has not existed for around 68 years, currently would be between the streets of Ibn Gabirol and Arlozorov in Tel Aviv, right near Hameah Tower.

Facebook took things even further by listing several events due to take place in "Al Mas'Udiya" on the location's page - including the Samsung Tel Aviv Marathon and the Chocolate Festival, reports Yedioth Aharonoth on Sunday.

It goes without saying that Tel Aviv is well within the 1949 Armistice lines, which the UN fully recognizes as sovereign Israeli territory.

"So? What's the Problem?"

Israel needs to block internet access to the “palestinians” They are using Facebook and other social media to create havoc and spread their lies. It really is a matter of their national security.

Zuckerberg has to be some major kind of self-hating Jew to pull this stunt.

Enough to make a guy wonder;

Not that I have desire to visit there...as a tourist.

"I wonder if the Falkland Islanders have to live with the name Islas Malvinas on Facebook."

Not if B Hussein has anything to do with it, since he calls them the Maldives.

“which the UN fully recognizes as sovereign Israeli territory.”

Well, for now, anyway

Most of Israel was like that in 1947-1948. Lots of sand, swamp, ruined land, for which the Jews paid dearly, with all the duly signed and recorded paperwork necessary.

Much like the Cave of Machpelah and the Temple Mount, both of which were legal real-estate transactions in which the buyer, seller, price paid, and description of the property were meticulously recorded...in the Holy Bible!

God Bless America.
God Bless Israel.

Reasons 1001 why I don’t use facebook.

[1Old Pro]

Yep, Facebook needs some non PC competition.

[Eleutheria5]

I rather think that disgruntled people will find another social web site, and Facebook will lose business.

[Eleutheria5]

Do any of the first thousand have to do with constant instant messages from friends who will not ever leave you alone?

[Jewbacca]

Nah. Never started. I want the arab terrorist to have to work a little to take me out.

For me it's a matter of privacy, as much as we can actually have that. I don't want to have various social media sites I'm registered with....or any others for that matter. I post here on FR only. Though when an event occurs I will see what twitter is saying.....and you have to take that with a grain of salt for sure...... Actually you can tell when the propaganda begins to surface on twitter as the tempo and otherwise changes. Same with the photo pages I go to....you begin to see photos pulled off that do not go with the media's fabricated stories, that would prove them false otherwise.

That goes for candidates as well in this election......Trump probably has the most “workers” scrubbing photos because he's got a lot to cover up and he's ultra sensitive of how he is portrayed. BTW I even got rid of my cell phone and couldn't be happier not having one. "Leave a message" on my home phone works just fine. It's important to me to have control of my time....uninterrupted by texts and calls. So far so good in that respect....I love the freedom!

Let’s hear it for FREEDOM!

It's a good day when you're NOT hardwired to technology!

[SJackson]

You’re right, though that was 1908
