Despite the closure of several Facebook pages promoting the campaign for the Third Palestinian Intifada, set for May 15, 2011, hundreds of Facebook pages promoting the same aim still exist.[1] Many of these pages feature statements in praise of martyrdom, jihad, and the killing of Jews.
Below are descriptions of two Facebook pages featuring such calls:
Page Called "The People Want the Official Page of the Third Palestinian Intifada Restored"
Facebook page called "The People Want the Official Third Intifada Page Restored"[2] currently has some 16,000 members. The page states: "This is a message to the Facebook administration: We ask that you restore the official page of the Third Palestinian Intifada." Another message reads: "Facebook has become the only means of communication among the Arab peoples, and a means for mass dissemination of [information about] the scandals of the Arab rulers, and the only reason for the liberation of most of the Arab countries from oppression and corrupt rule – yet when the time comes to liberate Palestine, Facebook's administration stands against the people's desire for freedom."
The page's administrators wrote: "After the two [Third Intifada] pages have been shut down, we remain here, with all our might. We will not give up. We ask everyone to dissseminate this so that we can make our voices heard."
