Israel's Prime Minister Deletes Controversial Tweet That Twitter Appeared To Censor

The tweet included an image from a very graphic video of an alleged ISIS fighter beheading an American. Soon after, the account deleted the tweet.


The office account of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released this tweet on Thursday equating Hamas and ISIS. The tweet included an image from a video released Tuesday of an alleged ISIS fighter beheading American journalist James Foley.

ISIS stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. The Obama administration uses a different acronym for the group, ISIL, or Islamic State of Iraq and Levant.

A few hours after publishing the tweet, the Prime Minister's account was still up — but it seemed a graphic warning had been assigned. The warning is similar to those that the social network puts up for those who frequently tweet NSFW and adult content.
