Meta, the company that owns the Instagram platform, restored the account of an Israeli player, days after it was suspended, against the backdrop of posts in which he promoted the Israeli occupation’s narrative about the war in the Gaza Strip, which sparked interaction on social media platforms.
Since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the battle of narratives and narratives has been raging on digital platforms between the Palestinian resistance and its supporters and the Israeli occupation and its supporters, as Palestinian content is subjected to fierce blackout, tracking and blocking campaigns, while the doors are opened to the Israeli narrative.
The Israeli player Manor Solomon, who plays in the midfield for Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League, was injured in his leg, so he stopped playing. Then, after the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, he asked his club to travel to Israel, and there he became an activist on social media promoting the novel. Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
Two days after the launch of the military operation in Gaza, he published a long post on the Instagram Stories feature, saying, “My country, my family, my friends, and my beloved people are living in hell. Hamas is not doing anything for the benefit of the Palestinian people. Hamas is a terrorist organization with only one mission, which is to wipe out Jews from the planet.
Last October 12, Solomon published another post on his Instagram page saying, “The match between Israel and Switzerland has been postponed due to Hamas’ barbaric massacre of innocent Israelis. Our stadium is completely sad tonight,” and he attached it with a picture of the Israeli flag in support of his country as well. He says.
The suspension did not take long
Then Solomon was surprised that his account on “Instagram” had been suspended, which did not last long, as the Israeli Football Association quickly intervened by declaring solidarity with the player, and tweeted on the “X” website a picture of Solomon with tape on his mouth, along with a call to boycott “Instagram.” “The whole truth and nothing but the truth… God help you,” he wrote.
In today’s episode of November 9, the Shabakat program monitored some of the interaction of Arab tweeters with the suspension of Solomon’s Instagram account, including what Abdullah wrote: “It is a normal Zionist player to say this, but what is not normal is the silence of stars.” Muslims in Europe about the massacres committed.
Abdel Qader wrote, “As for Tottenham and the English Association, they did not object as they did to the players who support Palestine.” And Yara said, “We must boycott Tottenham. We do not attend matches, nor do we buy shirts, hoodies, or anything.”
As for Baraa, he tweeted, “Since the genocide began, they have been calling for the erasure of Gaza from the face of the earth, and Instagram has not deleted any of these accounts, and now they are playing the apparently agreed-upon game to improve their reputation.”
This is something that Ali agreed with, who wrote, “Old movements from Instagram to shine his image… and it no longer passes (and will not pass) on us… of course they will apologize to him, and say, ‘Oh shame on the shame, by God, you have the right against us. We thought you were insulting Israel.’”
Ali’s suspicions were correct, as Meta later denied that Solomon’s account had been suspended due to any of his pro-Israel posts, and justified that what happened was a mistake, after which Solomon regained his account and resumed his activity on Instagram.
