Facebook is running advertisements selling settlement homes located on land stolen from our brothers and sisters in Palestine


Facebook is running advertisements selling settlement homes located on land stolen from our 
brothers and sisters in Palestine. But if we take action now, we can stop it.


Thousands of Israelis and supporters of the occupation have seen ads on Facebook - the world’s largest social network - offering them to buy homes in settlements like Modi’in and Ariel. These settlements are symbols of discrimination and violence that we’re all struggling to put an end to. Facebook’s terms of service say it’s prohibited to run ads offering illegal products. Settlements are not just illegal, building them is considered a war crime by the international community.

We can make Facebook remove these ads and prevent similar ads from showing up on their page: If 100,000 of us sign this petition, Avaaz will create a media storm that will reach millions of Facebook users, increasing the pressure on Facebook’s executives. Similar campaigns have succeeded in getting Facebook to remove ads for illegal and offensive products, and it will work for Palestine if enough of us join this campaign. We need all your voices to win.

Sign the petition below calling on Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, to ban all ads offering  settlement homes, so that these ads stop showing up on the social network.
