Quick Action: Say NO to Settlements

Tell Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg--NO Adds for Illegal Settlements!

 

 

Learn more and sign the letter on Avaaz.org:

"We were shocked to see ads for illegal Israeli settlements on Facebook. The establishment and expansion of settlements is considered a war crime. Settlements are a main cause of violence and discrimination in the region. Facebook's advertising guidelines state that "Ads may not constitute, facilitate or promote illegal activity." We therefore call upon you to ban all advertisements for settlement homes or settlement based products from showing on Facebook."

Boycott for Peace on Pintrest!

As some of our readers already know, facebook has deleted all of Boycott for Peace's content once already.  Facebook recently had us on 'restriction,' while they 'investigated' us.  However, they never explained why we were on restriction, nor did they responded to our query about their 'norms' and how we may have abridged them. 

Before they deleted Boycott for Peace's content in the past, we found that certain features on the private group where the informal committee discusses and test drives our memes and our text information was having issues.  We were in the habit of developing threads on certain focus subjects, with many links in the comments to documentation.  Suddenly the search function quit working, we were no longer able to find our research.

Recently, facebook blocked several Boycott for Peace members from up-loading photos to the group.  Key members, as it turns out, preventing us from using that space to preview and discuss content. This development was concerning, as it may have lead to even more restrictive efforts on facebook's part, or even to them deleting all of our content again.

We are committed to speaking Truth to Peace and Peace to Truth.  Facebook may be able to censor content on its own platform, but they can't censor the entire Internet.  It was their first efforts at censorship that instigated our starting this blog. Their recent 'restriction' and 'investigation' prompted us to start a Pintrest page.
