Facebook has blocked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son Yair for 24 hours after he wrote a post criticizing the social media platform as “thought police” and sharing previously banned content.
Yair Netanyahu blasted the website on Sunday for removing an earlier post in which he called for “avenging the deaths” of two Israeli soldiers killed last week by Palestinian gunmen and calling for the expulsion of Palestinians. He shared a screenshot of the earlier post in violation of Facebook’s community rules.
Facebook deleted a post by Netanyahu last week in which he said he would “prefer” if “All the Muslims leave the land of Israel.”
“There will not be peace here until:
1. All the Jews leave the land of Israel.
2. All the Muslims leave the land of Israel.
“I prefer the second option,” he posted.
“Do you know where there are no terror attacks In Iceland and Japan? Coincidentally there’s also no Muslim population there,” Yair also wrote in response to backlash.
Facebook had no immediate comment.
Netanyahu’s son has drawn media criticism for crude social media posts and a life of excess at public expense.

Happy Facebook is tanking
What he said may be stupid but is it worse than all the Palestinians and other radical muslims who are free to post as they wish? Double standard?
Clearly Yair Natanyahu is the Gilgul of Meir Kahane HY’D, and they are both so on the ball, both exuding such wisdom.
freedom of speech exists as long as you are Politically Correct, but if you say what you feel, freedom of speech does not exist for you…..
You joined many others who constantly protest the blatant, antisemitic/anti-Israel rhetoric, including open threats to kill Jews, that that menuvel & apikorus Zuckerberg and his minions allow on FB.
Don’t feel bad. You’re in good company and in this issue, you have more backbone than your father.
Wow, pretty harsh. This is the same Facebook that allows ISIS to spread their propaganda, the same Facebook that allows Muslim animals all over the world to spew their hate. This is Facebook that takes no action against mass murderers when they post alarming statements. And yet, when Ysir Netanyahu says these animals should leave Israel, he gets banned. Wow, stupid left wing self hating Jew Zuckerberg is.
He should take US citizenship and work towards the Presidency! As we have a two-term limit on Presidents, we need upcoming individuals not afraid to continue the current POTUS and tell it as it is.
Aha so he’s banned for saying that people that literally drive by a bus stop, shoot a pregnant woman and kill her baby should be kicked out of their country? Aha I see.
Btw does Facebook kick ban people who call for the expulsion of Israelis from Israel?
Except that he’s right.
Well…let the ignorant boy know there had been terrorist attacks in Japan committed by none Muslims. They had the gonads that his father lacks and perpetrators even after years were executed. They stamped out evil like it says in the Torah. Furthermore, israel should hold Facebook immediately to keep same standards against Isis, hezbollah and hamas accounts. But of course bibi wont. Not even to safe his son face.
