One week after Temple activist Yehuda Glick was shot in an assassination attempt, his Hebrew Facebook page has been taken down.
According to the Elder of Zion blog, “Israel-haters have been complaining to Facebook” about Glick’s page. “Of course, they just told Facebook that Glick’s (Hebrew!) page was offensive. And Facebook drones assumed it must be true – because so many complained!”
Glick – who founded and heads the LIBA Initiative for Jewish Freedom on the Temple Mount – was shot in the chest on Wednesday night outside the Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem, after the shooter pulled up in a motorcycle or scooter, and confirmed Glick’s identity before shooting.
He had been speaking, minutes before being shot, at an event for Jewish rights on the Temple Mount that had hosted leading religious figures and MKs.
Prior to the attack he had been repeatedly targeted in an online hate campaign, which has since threatened other Temple Mount activists.
According to an update by Jerusalem’s Shaare Tzedek Hospital Tuesday, there has been another slight improvement in the condition of Glick. In the coming days the doctors hope to be able to take Glick, who is still in an induced coma, off of the respirator, and to wake him up.
