Palestine: Journalists say Facebook complicit in Israeli crimes

Dozens of Palestinian journalists protested social media giant Facebook on March 5, criticising its routine blocking of accounts from the Middle Eastern country.

The media workers gathered outside the United Nations office in Gaza City with banners that read “Facebook is complicit in [Israel’s] crimes”, and “Facebook favours the [Israeli] occupation”.

The protest was organised by Palestinian NGO Journalists Support Committee.
