Yair Netanyahu, the son of the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, says he is fuming after Facebook removed a post of his calling for avenging terror attacks and exiling all Palestinians.
“The thought police of the progressive extremists at Facebook have reached me as well,” he writes on the social networking site, sharing a screenshot of his verboten post and accusing them of trying to silence him.

The post had expressed hopes for avenging a terror attack and referred to Palestinian as “monsters disguised as people.”
“We need to encourage deporting them out of our land and to the 22 lands of their brothers,” he had written.
Last week, Netanyahu junior posted that “There will not be peace here until:
1. All the Jews leave the land of Israel.
2. All the Muslims leave the land of Israel.
I prefer the second option.”
That post has also since been taken down.
