Facebook: Ban settlement ads
To Mark Zuckerberg, Chairman and CEO of Facebook, Inc:
We were shocked to see ads for illegal Israeli settlements on Facebook. The establishment and expansion of settlements is considered a war crime. Settlements are a main cause of violence and discrimination in the region. Facebook's advertising guidelines state that "Ads may not constitute, facilitate or promote illegal activity." We therefore call upon you to ban all advertisements for settlement homes or settlement based products from showing on Facebook.

Thousands of Israelis and Palestinians have received similar Facebook ads offering homes in settlements, which are located on land stolen from Palestinian families like mine. Settlements are illegal under international law, and they're symbols of deep segregation. Palestinians are prohibited from living in them. The social network giant’s terms of service say that advertising illegal goods is prohibited and the company has a history of pulling ads that get negative feedback. Let's hold them to their word and call them out for running these shameful ads.
Sign the petition asking Facebook to prohibit ads for illegal settlements. When we get enough signatures to show how outraged the public is, we'll create a media storm Facebook’s executives can’t ignore. Sign now.
