I reported the Facebook Page Fuck Israel to Facebook. Yes. you read that correctly. That is the name of the Facebook page. The page with the photo of a Jew (soldier) knifing an Arab child. I reported the image as well.
Here is their response and my reply
Thanks for your feedback
Today
Thanks for letting us know about this. We looked over the photo, and though it doesn’t go against one of our specific Community Standards, you did the right thing by letting us know about it. We understand that it may still be offensive or distasteful to you, so we want to help you see less of things like it in the future.
From the list above, you can block Fuck Israel directly, or you may be able to unfriend or unfollow them. We also recommend visiting the Help Center to learn more about how to control what you see in your News Feed. If you find that a person, group or Page consistently posts things you don’t want to see, you may want to limit how often you see their posts or remove them from your Facebook experience.
We know these options may not apply to every situation, so please let us know if you see something else you think we should take a look at.
They gave me the opportunity to answer these two questions.
What went wrong? How could it be better?
My response:
How is it possible for FB who looks at hate speech now say that Fuck Israel is acceptable? How is it possible for FB to look to look at that photo and not say it is graphic violence condoning the attacks on Jews? How does this fit FB community standards. I’d like a reply as I truly do not understand.
I also reported them for or graphic violence.
“You anonymously reported Fuck Israel for promoting graphic violence.”
Their answer was the same. Didn’t offend community standards. Here is what I wrote:
How do you accept the picture of someone murdering another person in the FB community? Does it matter who is doing the killing and who is being killed? What are your standards if these photos and FB pages are acceptable? How can I trust anything you say? How can I trust you when you remove my posts-and no one is being killed and I don’t call for the murder of anyone?
Post Script. I received a response to my requests for a review of their responses.
They gave me the same response:
Thanks for your report – you did the right thing by letting us know about this. We looked over the Page you reported, and though it doesn’t go against one of our specific Community Standards, we understand that the Page or something shared on it may still be offensive to you.

MR. ZUCKERBERG, DOES CONGRESS KNOW THAT THIS FITS YOUR COMMUNITY STANDARDS?
From the Ethics of the Fathers: “Rabbi Tarfon used to say, it is not incumbent upon you to complete the task, but you are not exempt from undertaking it.”
