Israel to press Facebook over anti-occupation intifada

PIC reported:

The Israeli occupation government is considering mobilizing MKs to propose a bid to outlaw anti-Israel campaigns on Facebook, Israeli Channel Two reported Monday.

A meeting was convened overnight Sunday by the occupation ministers to that very end.

According to Channel Two, the Israeli government has been seeking initiatives to quell anti-Israel activism on social media networks.

Instructions were given by the Israeli Interior Defense Minister Gilad Erdan, with the support of Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, to discuss with other states, including Australia and the U.S., the possibility of activating the campaign overseas.

A lawsuit was filed against Facebook on behalf of some 20,000 Israeli signatories to stop anti-Israel activism. 

Observers said the move comes as part of Israeli intents to quell the ongoing Jerusalem Intifada and crack down on anti-occupation activists.
