Twitter Calls Restriction Of Palestinian American Writer Covering Tensions A 'Mistake'
HuffPost
Israelis and Palestinians are in the midst of an intensifying conflict following the worst exchange of airstrikes since 2014.
Twitter temporarily restricted the account of a Palestinian American writer covering the growing conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians on Tuesday before reversing its decision. Mariam Barghouti, a writer and researcher based in the West Bank city of Ramallah, was temporarily barred from posting on the social media network as she was tweeting from the scene of a protest. Twitter replaced her missives, saying she had violated the company’s media policy shortly after she wrote that she felt as if she were in a “war zone,” saying Israeli police had fired “hundreds of tear gas canisters” at Palestinian protesters near Beit El, a Jewish settlement north of Jerusalem. The company said later it was a mistake.
