20,000 Israelis have sued the internet giant Facebook in New York state court alleging that the social media platform is intentionally disregarding the widespread incitement and calls for murder of Jews being posted on its web pages by Palestinians, Israeli NGO Shurat Hadin announced on Monday.
The civil complaint, seeking an injunction but no damages, was filed late Sunday US time, but only announced Monday.
A 76 page list of plaintiffs contend that “Facebook's refusal to remove the flood of extremist videos, statements and cartoons being posted by Palestinians is encouraging imminent violence and fanning the flames of the terrorist attacks that have overwhelmed Israel in the past month. “
