With social media technologies uniting the global community many held hope for the resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict via Facebook. Sadly, the day that Israel added Palestine on Facebook has been black-marked by the abuse that followed.
Last Friday, the Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu agreed to add Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Facebook, but the leader then proceeded to scrawl profanities across Mr Abbas’ wall. Israeli President Shimon Peres later logged onto update his Facebook status with “Nuffin 2 do wit me : ( “.
The exchange has only served to inflame current tensions with Haaretz calling the social networking snafu a “proper tits up effort”. Mr Netanyahu appears to have undone any ground that may have been made through painstaking negotiations, particularly with the crude cock and balls drawing which he scribbled via Mr Abbas’ Graffiti app. Several private Facebook albums of Mr Abbas’ have also been sabotaged with several of his family members tagged as “Bearded Ladyman”, “Titty Fuckwits” and “Gaylord Teabagger”.
News of the furore has even awakened the notoriously private Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg who commented from his underpants at his ranch in Palo Alto: “Gee…I mean, I never wanted a Facebook wall to be the new Gaza Strip. Can’t they just go a few rounds of Bejeweled Blitz and see who’s the top scorer?”
