Can we get a reference on how a page detailing an Israeli request for the removal of a Facebook page is antisemitic?

You might agree with that request. Feel free to tell us why.

But by calling post itself antisemitic, are you not saying that letting people know what the Israeli government is doing is, in itself, antisemitic??

Seems rather problematic...

The problem is the claim that this page suggests no acts of violence toward the Israeli people. In fact, I'd imagine the israeli government would be quite alright with what it believed to be a peaceful palestinian rally. I don't believe they would speak up to the CEO of facebook over something they believe to be benign. This post has nothing to do with technology, and in essence encourages the encouragement of the encouragement of violence, which should not be mistaken as something purely informative. This does not follow HN guidelines, Arabgeek, as is encourages political discussion rather than technology discussion. Please do not post politically charged links again.

This post is a tech post. Facebook is a web social network, a free speech platform. not my problem if ISraeli government is political by it self. you trust the ISraeli government so much how can you be sure that it is right their is call for violence in that page? did you browse the page? it calls for peaceful protests

well said :)
