PLO official in UK complains Facebook blocks posts praising arch-terrorists, he gave Facebook “official condemnation from Palestine”
PLO Ambassador to the UK Husam Zomlot: “We have noticed that the new or alternative media, in other words the social media, has begun where the traditional media left off… If you publish a post - we monitored [this] in Britain - the international relations and general policy department of these [social media] outlets, Facebook, and Facebook has Twitter and WhatsApp and many others, and Instagram. It controls 3 billion accounts, this is huge. We have noticed and monitored that if you put the word “resistance” in a Palestinian post – you are blocked. The word “Aqsa”! “Aqsa!”
TV host: The word “Martyr”.
Husam Zomlot: “Martyr” – you are blocked… “Abu Jihad” and “Abu Iyad” – you are blocked” …
TV host: “This is intentional.”
Husam Zomlot: “Intentional! Not intentional, it’s a bias… and we told them. I asked for a meeting. I invited them, and I conveyed to them official condemnation from the State of Palestine.”
