KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 — Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today denounced Facebook’s parent company Meta for removing his tribute to the late Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, calling the company’s actions disrespectful to the Palestinian struggle for freedom.
“Meta has once again acted disgracefully and has insulted the struggle of the Palestinian people by removing the video and condolence post criticising the assassination of the late Ismail Haniyeh,” he posted on Facebook this morning.
“It is unreasonable that a tribute honouring a fighter who strives to liberate his homeland from tyranny and suffering is deemed dangerous,” he added.
Similar messages were posted on all the prime minister’s social media platforms.
Anwar emphasised the need for social media platforms to recognise the significance of honouring those who fight for justice.
“Let this serve as a clear and unequivocal message to Meta: Cease this display of cowardice and stop acting as instruments of the oppressive Zionist Israeli regime!”
Anwar’s remarks highlight ongoing worldwide tensions regarding the portrayal of the Palestinian struggle on global platforms, urging greater sensitivity and support for those advocating for justice and freedom.
In a statement posted on his social media platforms last night, Anwar expressed his sorrow at Ismail’s death and concerns at how the latter’s murder would affect Palestinians, saying it was a move designed to derail peace talks amid a protracted crisis there.
Anwar met Ismail last May in Qatar during a three-day visit to the Middle Eastern nation, and described the latter as a “friend”.

Ismail Haniyeh was a proscribed terrorist under US Law, liable to arrest anytime he stepped on to US jurisdiction , and Hamas is a listed terrorist organisation under US law.
ReplyDeleteMental, as an American corporation subject to American law , was legally obliged not to allow posts glorifying Ismail Haniyeh or Hamas.
Anwar Ibrahim is welcome to boycott Facebook.
Yaloh, Yankee law applies throughout the whole world, under it's legal definition of rights!
DeleteUS companies SHOULDN'T operate in area where it's jurisdictions DON'T apply.
The management and employees of Malaysian incorporated companies operating internationally are also subject to obeying Malaysian laws - even when operating overseas.
DeleteSo stop kerbauing your anti-US propaganda
Wow… yr know-nothing international trading convention!
DeleteI am also well aware that Tencent-WeChat, ByteDance-TikTok and Huawei are all subject to obey CCP Laws.
DeleteWhich is why I NEVER use Wechat, TikTok and Huawei.
Malaysian Telcos all use Huawei , I cannot help that, but I never ever consider Huawei for my personal purchases.
So despite the KNOWN & PROVEN facts of iPhone eardrops, Google backdoors etc etc yr farts r still lingering on an unproven Huawei!
DeleteMfer, it's yr mfering choice. Don't force it on others.
