Netanyahu's son blocked from Facebook for posts promoting 'hate speech'

Facebook blocked Yair Netanyahu, the eldest son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for sharing what the social media giant called "hate speech" about Muslims and Palestinians.

The social media site suspended Yair Netanyahu's account for 24 hours on Sunday after he shared a series of posts that many online complained were violating the platform's community standards.

In one post, he reportedly said he was hopeful that the deaths of two Israeli soldiers who were killed by a Palestinian gunman would be "avenged," saying: "There will never be peace with the monsters in human form known since 1964 as 'Palestinians.' "

He also said in another post that he would prefer to live in an Israel where there weren't any Muslims and added that no attacks occurred "in Iceland and Japan where coincidentally there are no Muslims."
