Palestinian digital rights activists called out Facebook and other social media platforms for censoring content that criticised Israel, as per a report by Reuters.
The activists said that the social media giant is bowing down under the Israeli government's pressure and sought to halt the ongoing practices of removing and demoting the content.
Nadim Nashif, the founder of a digital rights organisation said that Facebook's stance can be seen as a war on the Palestinian narrative and an attempt to silence them from speaking about their oppression and suffering.
On the other hand, Palestinian activist and writer Mohammed El-Kurd said that he noticed the view of his posts on Instagram where he has close to 7.5 lakh followers being decreased dramatically during the protests in Sheikh Jarrah followed by war in May this year.The Israeli government is clearly threatened by Palestinian voices, he added.
Another user claimed that her posts especially the ones tagged with #SaveSheikhJarrah had been removed from Facebook and Instagram citing violation of community guidelines.
Meanwhile, Facebook referred to the work of its Independent Oversight Board and said that it would implement the recommendations of the board.

Israeli security forces on Monday have launched a massive search operation in northern&nbsp;Israel&nbsp;and the occupied West Bank after six Palestinian prisoners escaped from one of the country&rsquo;s most secure prisons using a rusty spoon in an unprecedented jailbreak.
The country's security forces mounted a search in northern Israel after farmers tipped off police about suspicious figures seen in their fields in the early morning hours. Police then alerted officials at Gilboa prison, who discovered that the men had gone.
The workers were seen passing through holes in the separation fence after being checked by Israeli security members.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's office said he had spoken with Israel's internal security minister and "emphasised that this is a grave incident that requires an across-the-board effort by the security forces" to find the escapees.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Palestinians consider prisoners held by Israel to be heroes of their national cause, and many celebrated the escape on social media.
Efforts to capture the escapees will likely draw attention to the Palestinian Authority's security coordination with Israel, which is deeply unpopular among Palestinians.

The Palestinian Authority has cancelled a deal under which Israel was to give it at least one million Covid vaccines. The authority said the Pfizer jabs were "about to expire." Israel earlier said, it didn't need an ageing stock of vaccines and they could be used to speed up the Palestinian vaccination programme.In return, the Palestinians were to give Israel a similar number of vaccines they are expecting from Pfizer later in the year. However, when the first batch of jabs from Israel arrived, Palestinian officials said they were even nearer their expiry date than expected.About 55% of eligible Israelis have been given both doses as part of a mass vaccination campaign. Some 30% of eligible Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza have received at least one vaccine dose, according to Palestinian officials.

Israel will provide around one million doses of Covid-19 vaccine to the Palestinian Authority ahead of their expiry, the Israeli prime minister's office said on Friday.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's office in a joint statement with the defence and health ministries said, the vaccines are being sent under a sharing deal with Palestine, to boost the vaccination campaign in the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
Under the terms of the deal, Israel will receive in return a reciprocal number of doses of the Pfizer vaccine from the Palestinian Authority, later this year.
Around 55% of eligible Israelis are fully vaccinated - a turnout largely unchanged by this month's expansion of eligibility to include 12- to 15-year-olds.
Some 30% of eligible Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza have received at least one vaccine dose, according to Palestinian officials.
The Palestinians have received vaccine doses from Israel, Russia, China, the United Arab Emirates and the global COVAX vaccine-sharing initiative.

The Israeli air force launched air strikes on the Gaza Strip early on Wednesday after protesters in the Palestinian territory sent incendiary balloons into southern Israel. This is the first flare-up between the two sides since a major conflict killed hundreds last month.
Palestinian protesters brought helium gas cylinders, inflated the balloons, attached small pieces of burning rugs to the bright balloons and sent them across the frontier. Israeli authorities said they put out at least seven fires on Tuesday.
The balloons were fired ahead of planned march by Jewish ultranationalists through east Jerusalem. &nbsp;Hamas has called on Palestinians, who consider the march to be a provocation to &ldquo;resist&rdquo; the parade.
The Gaza strikes were the first under the new coalition government headed by Naftali Bennett, who took over on Sunday after ousting longtime prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel and Hamas announced a cease-fire on Thursday. The truce ended a bloody 11-day war that caused widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip and brought life in much of Israel to a standstill.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Israel accepted the Egyptian proposal after a late-night meeting of his Security Cabinet. Hamas quickly followed suit and said it would honor the deal.
Israel launched hundreds of airstrikes during the operation, targeting what it said was Hamas' military infrastructure. It flattened several multi-storeyed buidlings housing media and other offices. In retaliation, Hamas fired over 4,000 rockets at Israeli cities.
At least 230 Palestinians were killed, including 65 children and 39 women, with 1,710 people wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not break the numbers down into fighters and civilians.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday vowed to press ahead with a fierce military offensive in the Gaza Strip. Israel is pushing back against calls from the United States to wind down the operation that has left hundreds dead.
Netanyahu's tough comments marked the first public rift between the two close allies since the fighting began last week and could complicate international efforts to reach a cease-fire.
Israel continued to pound targets in Gaza with airstrikes, while Hamas fighters rained rockets on Israel throughout Wednesday. In another sign of potential escalation, militants in Lebanon fired a rocket barrage into northern Israel.
Netanyahu said he appreciated &ldquo;the support of the American president,&rdquo; but Israel would push ahead with the strikes.
He said he was &ldquo;determined to continue this operation until its aim is met.&rdquo; He spoke shortly after US President Joe Biden told Netanyahu that he expected "a significant de-escalation today on the path to a cease-fire".

India and Palestine: A history of solidarity

As Israel's bombardment of Gaza invited sharp criticism from the global community, the Indian Rightwing Twitter-verse has erupted in solidarity with Israel. Hashtags such as #ISupportIsrael, #IndiaWithIsrael, #IndiaStandsWithIsrael and #IsrealUnderFire have trended on Indian social media over the past week. While Indian govt has supported the "just cause of Palestine and a two-state solution" at the UN, its support base back home is rooting for the Israeli airstrikes. Here we look at the real Indian govt position on the Israel-Palestine conflict over decades.

 Israeli air strikes have till now killed over 200 Palestinians, injured 1000s and flattened many building...
 At least 10 Israelis have also been killed in rockets fired by Hamas fighters from Gaza...
 While Indian govt has supported the "just cause of Palestine and a two-state solution" at the UN, its support base back home is rooting for the Israeli airstrikes... openly calling for annihilation of Palestinians...
 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday tweeted the national flags of 25 countries, from the United States to Albania, that he said were &ldquo;resolutely standing with Israel and supporting our right to self defence&rdquo;. Indian flag was not among them. In absence of an overt govt support, many of the regime's supporters pledge their support to the Israeli military action on twitter...
 Byte: TS Tirumurti, Indian envoy to UN: I reiterate India&rsquo;s strong support to the just Palestinian cause and its unwavering commitment to the two-state solution...

 ((GFX)) Father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi had this to say about Palestine in 1938: &ldquo;Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French.&rdquo;
 India was the first non-Arab country to recognise the Palestine Liberation Organization
 A PLO office was set up in New Delhi in 1975
 Though India recognised Israel in 1950, it established diplomatic relations only in 1992
 In 2004, a high profile Indian govt delegation attended the funeral of Yasser Arafat. The delegation was led by the then External Affairs Minister K Natwar Singh, Lalu Prasad, Ghulam Nabi Azad and CPM's Sitaram Yechury.
 Till 2017, India clearly supported a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its Capital
 Indian position has evolved since then, and in 2017, New Delhi dropped the reference to East Jerusalem when Palestinian Authority President visited Delhi

 India is currently Israel&rsquo;s biggest defence buyer, accounting for 46 percent of Israel&rsquo;s arms exports

 But despite deepening of ties with Israel, India has still maintained its support to the Palestinian cause and a two-state solution... which was once again reiterated at the UN this week...
