International debate:

‘Israeli-Palestine-Facebook’

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an ongoing dispute between the State of Israel and Arab Palestinians. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is part of the wider Arab-Israeli conflict. The conflict can be traced to the late 19th century, when Zionist Jews expressed their desire to create a modern state in the ancient land of the Israelites, which they considered to be their rightful homeland. To further that objective, the World Zionist Organization encouraged immigration to the land and purchasing land, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire.

Histories, and different perceptions of history, are perhaps the most important factors in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Accounts of history, interpreting history in different ways, are used to justify claims and to negate claims, to vilify the enemy and to glorify “our own” side

“No two historians ever agree on what happened, and the damn thing is they both think they’re telling the truth.”

Harry S. Truman.

Here’s another example of Never Never thinking: ‘You want to get rid of Hamas in Gaza? Make Gazans miserable, then they’ll overthrow them.’The West Bank, Checkpoints block economic development. An example shows us the process in detail, as we visit a factory that produces Soap for Sindyanna.

Is this called the humanity?

Now Facebook ,

Before October 2006, Palestine was a part of the geographic identification of Facebook. Facebook mysteriously outraged the members of the “Palestine” network after October 2006.

How can you do this to a country and its people, now what network these people will be joining, since Palestine was no longer an option? It is it extremely offensive that Facebook does not acknowledge Palestine as a nation. Clearly, such acts are anti-Palestinian.

After so much of the hatred, many suggestions, finally, responding to pressure from Palestinian petitions and letters, Facebook re-added Palestine to the list of countries in early 2007. No press release was ever issued by Facebook regarding either the elimination or the reinstatement of Palestine - an a typical decision by Zuckerberg and his team, who post roughly once a week on their blog of happenings and additions to the site, regularly update the site’s “What’s new” section and give public access to all press releases about Facebook.

Despite repeated efforts to uncover why the site originally removed Palestine from the list, Facebook did not respond by press time.

Creator Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook in February 2004 as a small networking site among Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia and Yale universities; he never would have thought that his site will face such controversies.

Joshua at Facebook Observer has touched an interesting issue on Facebook going social. He says that Facebook and Yahoo are giving free advertising space to a children’s charity in UK called as NSPCC.

This is great news as it clearly shows the focus of Facebook is not purely commercial but instead it is also vouching for the social causes and is trying to fight against child abuse in UK by providing free support to the charity organization.

Hats off to Facebook for this effort. For more on the story follow Joshua at Facebook Observer

Via Mashable  It is a blind copy on the cards as Tagged seems to be emulating Facebook platform. Like Mashable.com says Tagged is looking to blindly copy what Facebook has done, no innovation at all. t. Tagged wants to just copy Facebook’s exactly so developers can bring their applications over with little to no work.

We know that Facebook is gaining the fame day by day, few days back we heard about the deal with Microsoft. It’s still the hot topic among the users and IT professionals. So to remain stable at a high position like this, it is tough to maintain the facilities provided by Facebook will remain same then it will soon loose its effect and impact. Hence they have to keep changing the formats and keep innovating new ideas. We know its tough but they have to do that. For this Facebook is going to expand its empire globally.

So it is going to prepare sites in non-english languages. That they have to think which languages they have to start with. Facebook wants to go in the same way as the myspace did. To prove its influence and reign it has to start non-english sites.

Did Facebook think of registering its trademark outside the US? Ouriel Ohayon from TechCrunch FR pointsus to the Ning-driven social network currently on Facebook.fr. Although the website is in Dutch, the domain name was registered on the 29th of December 2006 by a man with a German address called Michel K., a domain name snatcher with a track record who goes by the nickname ‘Lucky Luke‘.

The excuse for a social network site he has running on the domain name is powered by PHPFoXand evidently has Google Ads. Of course, no word in the disclaimer about the ‘real’ Facebook. Like someone else acquired the French domain name, since as of today the redirection points to another social network called “FaceBook Paris”.

The whois registry does not reveal much of the identity of the owner (registered as anonymous ). The provocation goes a bit further since the social network which seems active is hosted on Ning , a service that allows you to create your own social network and that can be considered a competitor to Facebook.
