Facebook says page calling for death to Jews doesn’t violate “community standards”

Jul 28, 2014 7:06 pm By Robert Spencer

facebook-community-standards2Facebook did take down the page later, but this was its initial response. Meanwhile, opponents of jihad terror are routinely harassed and their pages removed on Facebook and elsewhere. The foes of truth and freedom can’t stand even a glimmer of it getting through, anytime, anywhere.

“Facebook says page calling for death to Jews doesn’t violate ‘community standards,'” by Philip Klein, Washington Examiner, July 28, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

A Facebook page calling for the death of Israeli Jews does not violate the social network’s “community standards,” according to multiple messages sent by Facebook in response to user complaints.

The page in question, is named, “Death to zionst baby killer israeli jews.” The page, which spells “Zionist” incorrectly, features an Image of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a vampire with blood dripping down his chin as he feasts on a child. It was started on July 25.

Individuals complaining about the page were greeted with the following message…:

We reviewed your report of Death to zionst baby killer israeli jews. Thank you for taking the time to report something that you feel may violate our Community Standards. Reports like yours are an important part of making Facebook a safe and welcoming environment. We reviewed the Page you reported for containing hate speech or symbols and found it doesn’t violate our Community Standards.

Last Thursday, a mob of more than a dozen men assaulted a Jew in his suburban Paris home who had been identified through a French Facebook page that listed the faces and identities of Jews to be attacked. The social network declined to remove the page until after the assault had taken place.

UPDATE: Facebook has since removed the page.

    Because Muslims are apparently a protected class. They can murder Christians and Jews (or call for their murder) , and get away with it.

    No matter what a Muslim does, be it rape, kill or enslave, they will always blame someone else

      But—but–but Richie these are just good Muslims practicing their religion !!!!!
      Surely, Muslims have the right to practice their faith by raping little girls, murder infidels and rape their wives, loot, burn and steal anything they like.????
      Its a gross violation of their “human rights” and clearly Islmophobic to think otherwise.

    What are the odds the initial moderator was a Muslim?

      Actually, probably pretty slim, Joe. I don’t imagine there are a lot of Muslim employees at Facebook.

      Instead, this is likely the insanity of PC/MC, where violent Mohammedans are considered a protected class, but Jews are ‘honorary white colonialists’ about whom the most vile, homicidal things can be said.

    I’ve lost track the number of times I reported YT comments calling for death to jews and/or non-mulsims in general as “promoting hatred or violence” and they were considered to be OK and not breaking any rules.

    • Angemon says

      Jul 28, 2014 at 7:27 pm

      Oh, and there were at least three times where the user in question willingly removed his comments and posted others claiming he was not anti-semite or that he admired jews a lot.

    • Huck Folder says

      A test might be to post: “Death to islamist baby killer gaza moslems.”, with a suitable cartoon. If that were taken down, the fun could begin. I guess there’s nothing like the Press Council, feeble as it is, to police the glaring bias.

      Would there be any basis for a lawsuit, particularly for the assaulted French Jew?

      Is it possible to identify the moderators, and what they moderated?

    It is truly strange that one gets kicked out of FB’s wonderful community for being too conservative, but one can publish true hate speech and not have it questioned. Wasn’t there something in the US about hate crimes and hate speech? Where does the publisher live? Is this low life in the US or our somewhere else?

    This is why I don’t do FB. It’s a menace. It should be boycotted.

    This was able to happen due to FB:

    “Last Thursday, a mob of more than a dozen men assaulted a Jew in his suburban Paris home who had been identified through a French Facebook page that listed the faces and identities of Jews to be attacked. The social network declined to remove the page until after the assault had taken place.”

    Facebook says page calling for death to Jews doesn’t violate “community standards”
    ……………………………..

    What sort of “community” is Facebook building? It sounds a lot like the genocidal *Ummah*.

    • John Haller says

      I counted 29 Death to Israel FB pages just a few months ago. I complained about one in particular and, you guessed it…Nothing was done.

  7. SKevin says

    I’ve seen this in other contexts. I think Facebook’s initial response is automated. It takes a number of complaints before a page is taken down.

    About a decade ago, when I was a college student (but not a moronic liberal like most of my fellow students), in the wake of the global Islamist outrage over the Mohammed cartoons, I made a Facebook page called simply, “Cartoons of Mohammed,” featuring the cartoons. I gained over a hundred members in no time flat–mostly supporters, but eventually a few screeching Muslims as well, who leveled the predictable death threats.

    The page was taken down by Facebook within a week.

    Facebook is run by leftist loons and is an enemy of free speech.

      Anyone who isn’t a leftist at eighteen has no heart. Anyone who is still at leftist at twenty five has no brain.

    It has nothing to do with whether or not a page does or doesn’t violate community standards. Facebook staff do NOT actually look at the pages in question. It is an automated response which is triggered by a report.
    To get a page taken down you simply need to circulate the link amongst a group of like-minded people & get them all to report it. Once it reaches a certain number of reports it is removed automatically.

    On the other hand Facebook recently closed the repellent MPACUK’s page without giving them a reason.

    Please take note of what Skevin says: this happens always when a (horrible) page is reported. The first answers (10, 100, 1000?) are answered automatically. Only when the number of report rise above that level a person looks into it.
    I have seen several examples of it.
