In other words, if they want to call for a third Intifada, they can (and do) do so on their own websites, but they cannot piggyback on Facebook or through Apple to do so. They agreed to these terms when signing up for both services, so tough.
Its theirs what would the arabs do with it anyway - what have the done with any of the land except graze goats - they are just like the nazis in fact nobody mentions the muslim legions that fought with the nazis during world war II.
They are as bad as Hitlers nazis the muslims want rid of the jews non stop no wonder after 1000 of years of persecution the jews are finally standing up for themselves.
Get a reality check the arabs are just jeaous what the jews have built and accoomplished.
Most of the new technology we enjoy has been developed in Israel or by jews so stop complaining and see who the real eneny of the west is and its not Israel.
