The son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended a controversial Facebook post in which he implied that all Muslims should leave the Jewish state. The initial post prompted backlash on social media.

"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 hope it's the second," Yair Netanyahu wrote on Facebook on Thursday.

He went on to state that Iceland and Japan don't have terror attacks because "there is no Muslim population there."

The 27-year-old defended his thoughts on Saturday, asking why the same people who have been calling to "evacuate the settlers and establish a Palestinian state free of Jews" were angered by his words.

Many on social media were indeed unimpressed with the younger Netanyahu's Facebook posts, with one person instead stating that he should be the one to leave Israel.

Ben White, author of the book 'Cracks in the Wall: Beyond Apartheid in Palestine/Israel', questioned who "radicalized" the prime minister's son.

And another person referred to him as the "third Trump brother."

Yair Netanyahu is no stranger to the spotlight, or to controversy. In May, he came under fire for posting "F*** Turkey" on Instagram amid a diplomatic row between Israel and Ankara.

In January, recordings were released which included Netanyahu, then 25, and his friends talking about spending thousands of shekels for private dances from strippers. He also appeared to offer his friends sexual favors from a woman he was in an intimate relationship with in exchange for money. Some Israeli media outlets have implied that those comments were made in jest while inebriated.

The same tapes, recorded by Netanyahu's then-driver, also revealed Netanyahu asking his friend to "spot him" some money because the elder Netanyahu had secured an "awesome" gas deal that would benefit the friend's father.

In 2017, Yair posted a meme which was deemed anti-Semitic on his Facebook page, which he eventually deleted following backlash. However, the meme did get the support of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, and can still be seen on the controversial figure's Twitter feed.

Oh, dear!  What's the world coming to?

Facebook has briefly blocked the page of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair, after he shared previously banned content calling for "all Muslims [to] leave" Israel.

In a message posted Thursday on his Facebook page, after the latest flare-up in violence saw at least five Palestinians and three Israelis, including two soldiers, killed in recent days, Yair Netanyahu had called for the expulsion of Palestinians.

"Do you know where there are no attacks? In Iceland and in Japan where coincidentally there are no Muslims," the prime minister's son wrote.

In another post, he wrote that there were only two possible solutions for peace, either "all Jews leave [Israel] or all Muslims leave".

"I prefer the second option," added the 27-year-old, who has faced criticism of being a grown man living in the prime minister's residence despite having no official role and benefitting from a bodyguard, a driver and other perks.

Facebook deleted Yair Netanyahu's posts, in which he called for "avenging the deaths" of the two Israeli soldiers.

Yair Netanyahu, who shared a screenshot of the earlier post in violation of Facebook's community rules, took to Twitter to criticise the social networking giant, calling it a "dictatorship of thought".

Facebook blocked his account for 24 hours.

Double standards
Palestinian journalists and activists have long accused social media platforms such as Facebook of double standards regarding the enforcement of their policies, as well as an imbalance in how they deal with censorship in the Israeli-Palestinian context.

Last year, a damning report by The Intercept said that Facebook is deleting content and blocking users at the orders of the Israeli and the US governments.

Palestinians fight Facebook, YouTube censorship
In March, dozens of Palestinian journalists rallied outside the United Nations office in Gaza City to protest against the website's practice of blocking Palestinian Facebook accounts, denouncing it as "a major violator of freedom of opinion and expression.

"Facebook blocked roughly 200 Palestinian accounts last year - and 100 more since the start of 2018 - on phony pretexts," Salama Maarouf, a spokesperson for Hamas, the group that administers the besieged Gaza Strip, said at the time.

He also said that some 20 percent of Israeli Facebook accounts "openly incite violence against Palestinians" without facing any threat of closure.

In April, a report by 7amleh, the Arab Centre for Social Media Advancement, said that the cyber unit of the Israeli government officially stated that Facebook accepted 85 percent of the government's requests to delete content, accounts and pages of Palestinians in 2017.

"This kind of Israeli monitoring and control of Palestinian digital content on social media has become a tool for mass arrests and gross human rights and digital rights violations," the report said.
