The Syrians are making sure their kids don’t get Jew cooties. They’re blocking Facebook.
Syrian authorities have blocked Facebook, the popular Internet hangout, over what seems to be fears of Israeli “infiltration” of Syrian social networks on the Net, according to residents and media reports.
Residents of Damascus said that they have not been able to enter Facebook for more than two weeks. An Associated Press reporter got a blank page when he tried to open Facebook’s home page Friday from the Syrian capital.
Syrian officials were not available for comment Friday because of the Muslim weekend, but some reports have suggested that the ban was intended to prevent Israeli users from infiltrating Syrian social networks.
Lebanon’s daily As-Safir reported that Facebook was blocked on Nov. 18. It said the authorities took the step because Israelis have been entering Syria-based groups.
Ohmigod, no! They’re not—writing Facebook comments to each other! Ew! Jew Cooties! Ew!
Heaven forfend the Syrians should find out that Israelis aren’t really the devils that Baby Assad’s spin machine makes them out to be. Score one more for the Dorktator.
The Alawite-Ba’ath controlled government of Syria is hardly democratic. It controls the Syrian masses, by promoting conflict with Israel. Appearantly Syrian teens have been networking with Israeli teens of Facebook, a big no no, for a simi-dictatership, that uses hate for Israel as a political tool.
Yes, and I didn’t say the government of Syria is democratic. That would be why I used the word “dorktator” when describing Assad.
That’s Yourish-speak for dictator.
In fact a dictator who looks like a dork. It’s a Meryl-neologism.
In Napoleon’s time the French had a saying: To lie like a bulletin. The Russians distrusted whatever the government put out (there’s no truth in Izvestia and no news in Pravda), assuming the Commies were lying to them all the time. I expect the Syrians take a similar view in their own Arab socialist paradise.
Heck, Syrian teens networking with Syrian teens is a no-no but the simi-dictator is in Iran, Assad is just a dorktator.
Dam Jew cooties.
You know the normal medicated shampoo doesn’t work for them, right?
You’ve got to constantly hit your head against a brick wall. Only after you’ve knocked yourself out will they be gone.
Ahh…..
Sorry, been up about 20 hours……
Long Rifle,
Naughty, you’ve been observing how Arabs actually behave.
Well….
Yeah…
I just thought there HAS to be a reason why they do it…
It couldn’t just be because they’re idiots…..
