An Arab organization concerned with the rights of journalists said that it had detected 220 violations of Palestinian content on social media during the current year 2021.
In a statement, the Journalists' Support Committee condemned the continued targeting, discrimination, and blocking of Palestinian content on social media.
She pointed out that "this comes as part of a war waged by Facebook against Palestinian content, by disabling and deleting Palestinian news accounts and websites in the West Bank and Gaza Strip."
The committee stated, "Journalists and activists were surprised by the closure of their Facebook pages and accounts without notifying them."
And she warned that "this behavior contributes greatly to covering up Israeli violations, obscuring the narrative of Palestinian victims, and flagrantly violating individuals' freedom of expression and publication."
And she called for the necessity of stopping the pursuit of Palestinian content, and reactivating the accounts that had been disabled.
She stressed that "Facebook does not have the right in any way to restrict freedom of opinion, expression and publication, as they are inherent rights guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and related international instruments."
The Journalists Support Committee (JSC) defines itself on its website as a non-governmental, non-profit professional and human rights organization, founded in 2016 by media professionals to defend the rights of media professionals and journalists.
