Shurat HaDin Facebook experiment

(JNi.media) The NGO Shurat Hadin-The Israel Law Center on Monday reported on an experiment it ran which proves unequivocally that Facebook has different standards for Palestinian and Israeli hate.

The experiment began with two fictitious Facebook pages, one spewing anti-Israeli hatred, the other anti-Palestinian. Except that when they filed complaints with Facebook online, Facebook went ahead and closed down the anti-Palestinian page, while the anti-Israel, anti-Jewish page is still alive and well and spewing away. The video the organization put together uses the mirror images of the two pages to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that Facebook has an anti-Israeli, pro-Palestinian bias. Shurat Hadin is suing Facebook for just this kind of bias.

Shurat Hadin said in a statement that it plans to use the results of this entertaining experiment as part of the lawsuit it has filed against Facebook in a New York court, in which the organization accuses Facebook of allowing Islamist radicals to openly recruit and train terrorists and plan terror attacks on its pages.

Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, head of Shurat Hadin, said in a statement, “Facebook’s management is required to act immediately against the blatant incitement being waged for years against Jews and Israelis in the social network it owns and manages. The in-depth investigation we conducted proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that [Facebook’s] claims of equality in the face of its conduct against any individual or group of people are at best erroneous and false in the worst case.”

She added: “It cannot be that in 2015 a publicly traded commercial company will carry out a racist policy which so blatantly discriminates in favor of any party. The investigation we conducted proves that indeed there is bias in favor of one political party and against Israelis and Jews in particular. Jews and Israelis around the world should be very concerned over the results of the investigation and understand that the most famous social network in the world is working actively in favor of the Palestinians.”
