I think Ivgeni Zarubinski and Shurat HaDin, The Israel Law Center, may have just broken Facebook with this experiment. Only one hour after posting, the video has over 1,400 shares.
Two identical pages were created with equally inciting posts with only one difference. One was anti-Israel, and one was anti-Palestinian. Only one of them was in violation of Facebook’s community standards. This short video shows us exactly what we have known all along. Facebook has a serious problem with its “Community Standards” and it’s time they fix it.
Here is the page, still going, with the incitement to kill Jews that is acceptable to Facebook’s “Community Standards”. Take a look at what Zuckerberg’s company thinks is fine while it’s still up. Stop Israelis.
This is a must share.

Update: Adding a YouTube version because the video seems to have trouble playing when the story is opened within the Facebook app on an iPhone. Strange.
Update 6th January: Obviously, once the video went viral on Facebook (oh the irony), Facebook noticed and took down the second of Shurat Ha’Din’s pages. But wait, there’s more, Brian has posted a new video today showing more problems with anti Jew hate on Facebook.
I think they ought to do something about it, but I do think that according to facebook, killing jews is perfectly acceptable, and ought to be encouraged. this does an excellent job of showing Community Standards
Facebook:: Guilty as charged.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Mark Zuckerberg declared that after Muslims killed 130 people in Paris, his main concern is to prevent anyone being mean to Muslims: “I want to add my voice in support of Muslims in our community and around the world.
After the Paris attacks and hate this week, I can only imagine the fear Muslims feel that they will be persecuted for the actions of others.” (Dec. 9, 2015)
I have reported a group called “Death to Israel and America”. I was told it didn’t violate community standards.
When has he ever publicly stated that it’s important to him that Jews, or any other religious group for that matter, feel safe on facebook? Apparently, he can only imagine the fears of Muslims.
Please. There’s been a hate page “Jewish Ritual Murder” (YES, THAT IS THE EXACT TITLE!!) that’s been up for YEARS! I can’t even get any of their individual articles taken down!!
Point proven, but the “Stop Israelis” page has been taken down by Facebook.
after the vid went viral
was up yesterday
want more evidence that fb discriminates? this vid, despite going viral, is not listed among trending topics on fb
Brilliant Op. Keep it up guys!
Since the invention of money its very easy to express thanks and to support those who deserve it.
Therefore, do not remain with sweet words but donate to Shurat HaDin, http://ilcblog.org/.
