Facebook excludes Israel as country option, includes 'Palestine'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 2/4/18

Posted on 02/04/2018 2:40:14 PM PST by markomalley

New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) is calling on Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg to take immediate action on Facebook’s “shameful” exclusion of Israel. When creating a background profile on Facebook, users are given 50 nationality options. These options include Palestine, while Israel is conspicuously absent.

“Palestine is not even a country,” said Hikind. “How did it end up as an option? Well, we all know the answer to that. I suspect some racist programmer was able to slip that by while purposefully excluding Israel as an option. That’s insulting and Facebook should be held accountable."

I’m done with your politics Zuck....just deleted my account.

A Facebook account is like the Hotel California:

You can remove your public face from Facebook, but the contents are there forever.

Hasn't made Israel any less a popular tourist destination...
There was a time, long ago and far away when Baghdad and Tehran were popular and reasonably safe tourist spots. Until the ayatollahs and jihadis took over.

this deplorable step will NOT prevent the Muslim terrorists like PLO/PA/Hamas/Hezballah from torturing and murdering Mr. Z, if they ever get their Satanic hands on him

no amount of appeasement will protect or save any Christian Jew or American from the Muslim murder gangsters

in fact, while they want to kill us all... they respect genuine believers and patriots a whole lot more than the Quisling sell-out kind

I doubt zuck is an observant Jew....more likely self-loathing. His god is power and money.

By the way, there is no way to put in your profile that you are a Veteran either.

Thank you for deleting your account. Facebook is trash. I pray that many more will be doing the same.

Imagine a future that is being shaped now, when a sinister government wants to get you for being a person deemed ‘unacceptable’. Combing through facebook posts to find any details you thought you could hide. Like what you eat etc etc. Coupled with cash free and all transport monitored (smart roads, train and bus cards) it will be very hard to hide. And when that day inevitably arrives it will give meaning to Jesus seperating the sheep from the goats on the basis of assistance given to His brethren. The global Jew hating regime will find you easier than hitler minions ever could. God have mercy in those times. Shorten the global hunting of Jewish people. It is coming. Zuckerberg the sugar man. Sweetness masking the mail fist of a megalomaniac. He is a new Alexander. He wants to be worshipped. He won’t accept challenges to his fake messiahship. It will only be the stone cut out without human hands that will stop him.

I have a Facebook account, though I don’t really go there. Anyway, I went there and saw both Israel and Palestine as national identities one could choose.

Facebook excludes Israel as country option, includes 'Palestine'

Ten years ago or so, I joined facebook because it looked like a good way to keep in touch with family, and exchange photographs.

It took me less than a month to see the unpredictable negative effect it would have on my life by scam artists and crooks; beginning with "facebook" itself.

Quit and never looked back.
Email attachments work fine.

He is a new Alexander.

Though Alexander was pretty respectful of the Jews.

I’d bet they’re told to do that. There’s outrage and protests all over the place, which is free publicity, and then Facebook “apologizes” and puts Israel back in as an option, alongside Palestine, and looks good for ending the fight that it started.

I think the appropriate word & ethnicity for him would be EDOMITE!

If you don't know the depth of the evils behind that label then I suggest you spend the time to watch this very educational video here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iu2i3U00Ofg
