Israeli non-governmental organization Shurat HaDin, which made headlines in 2011 for suing former President Jimmy Carter and publisher Simon and Schuster over his book calling for a two-state solution, has turned its attentions to a company with much deeper pockets, Facebook.
Shurat HaDin has announced its intentions to sue Facebook for violation of US Department of the Treasury sanctions against Iran, on the grounds that 15 Iranian government ministers created free accounts there.
Iran’s new government has been seen carrying out significant reforms of past governments restrictions on Internet access, and has allowed Iranian civilians access to Facebook and Twitter.
That’s a positive sign from Iran, but it won’t happen if Shurat HaDin gets its way, arguing that Facebook is violating US law by allowing the Iranians to sign up for accounts, saying that even “seemingly innocuous material support” could lead to criminal liability for supporting Iran.
Facebook has yet to comment on the matter.
Number one Danger to the world peace , according to EU poll as of about 3-4 years ago.
Beacon of democracy, they prevent the truth coming out, deprive milions of their right to freedom and land…….
Hmmm, looks like someone really is upset they couldn't get a new war started.
I am NO fan of Facebook—but FU IS RA HELL FU…
When is this crap going to end? I am truly disgusted with these rabid Israel supporters.
Wow! Adherents of Zionism are kvetching and aiming to make some money off the American sheeple! Never thought I'd live to see THAT happen! </sarcasm>
Every pro Israeli group should be deported from the United States unless they take an oath to abide by the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. I would favor deportation since these criminal groups do NOTHING to better America, plus they endanger the American people with their unbridled immoral support of the Zionist regime.
LOL. Deported to where? Are they "illegal immigrants?"
Being a traitor is worse than being an illegal immigrant.
I think the Iranians are kicking their collective asses on Facebook and exposing their continuous lying. Go F yourselves Zionist megaphones. Then why the heck are they called NGO's? They are propaganda outlets for the Zionist government of the chi**y little state.
well th this 'NGO' got one thing right- the one state option is the only way to go with all the illegal settlements, one state with equal rights for all and return of the palestinian refugees [ as is their right under the UN i gather] It is the only solution…..justice/compensation for palestinians, gradual return stolen lands…
those who don't like this can return to europe or where ever their second passports allows.
