    Facebook: "Intifada Nonviolent"

    Facebook announced it is monitoring an Arabic social networking page calling for a "third intifada" against israel, but site's decision makers say they don't believe it has crossed into incitement and will not remove it. The site has 330,000 members and advocates a mass march into Israeli terrirtory by residents of neighboring countries. The page's administrators posted a quotation of a Hadith (Islamic tradition) that is popular with radical groups, which reads, "The hour [of redemption] does not come until the Muslim fight the Jews and even the stones and trees say, 'O Muslim, a Jew is behind me, so kill him.'"
