We can always share this through their network, and make them look double stupid. Oh, let them do stuff like this. We can always share this through their network, and make them look double stupid.

Will the company provide any explanation about why the block was there in the first place? I doubt it.

I went to Facebook, joined the group "Palestinians" and responded to their request for expressions of support. If Facebook doesn't cease censorship of Palestinian issues we should start a group there for 'anonymous victims of censorship' and open it as a campaign. I found much the same, Paul.

"Palestinians" and "Palestine" are ok, and "Palestinian" is ok for a Facebook group. I suspect that on Monday morning a junior editor is going to be asked why he/she made Facebook look stupid -- again.
