May be distasteful to you...

Just a matter of taste.

Yeah.

For the record: I do not at all suggest that Facebook should start prohibiting and censoring anti-Semitic posts and pictures. I would not see it as an improvement over the current situation if they start doing so, not at all. If anything, my suggestion would be the opposite: to stop prohibiting and censoring (what may be deemed as) Arabophobic, Islamophobic, Russophobic, etc. posts and pictures.

But my aim in posting these links is not even to attempt achieving anything like that. My aim is more modest: to preserve some details of this particular instance of glaring double standards in the postmodernist Political Correctness, as a way of exposing it for the farce that it is.

Good. It is difficult or impossible to make two incitements "identical", so they might have made their experiment even more convincing by deliberately making the incitement level against the Israelis noticeably higher than against the Palestinians. The Facebook administration would still shut up the latter and not the former, of course.
