Facebook has closed down the account of journalist Khaled Abu Toemah, one of the few voices reporting the real truth of the Israel/Palestinian conflict. It appears to be in response to complaints from the Palestinians, yet the account of Hamas leader who calls for violence and hate remains open. It is not the role of Facebook to act as a censor of the truth so please sign to put pressure on to reopen this account if there is to be a chance for peace, stifling the truth and hiding the reality of corruption and incitement of hatred instead of promoting a peaceful solution is not the way

Typical Facebook - if they removed any of the hate sites geared towards Jews, that would have been a surprise. Now they are even trying to suppress any truth coming out of Palestine. Shame on them! Not surprised - Zuckerberg is a cowardly little freak!

Shame on shameless Facebook for doing this to one of the bravest, honest, and most principled journalists

How utterly morally and ethically risible to deactivate award winning journalist Khaled Abu Toameh's facebook account. Reinstate his account at once and issue a public apology. Either that or put your money where your minds are at and move all of Facebook's operations to Amman or Gaza City or Raqqa. Shame

Khalid Abu Toamah should have his Facebook account reinstated immediately. He's a a fair-minded journalist doing his job well. The accusations against him are made by blood thirsty terrorists wishing to silence him for speaking the truth about their financial and ethical corruption.

It is a shame for Facebook to ban Mr. Toameh, while abetting accounts of terrorist captains.

Facebook should not censor posts that highlight corruption in governments
