Facebook is run by a selfhating jew.

It said nationality. I wonder if it had Jewish as a nationality. Jewish is a better choice than Israeli because all Jews are Jewish but Israeli means Israeli citizens. They meant it as an ancestry like people in the US say they are whatever European nationality (like Irish or Italian) even if they never lived in Europe. Of course Palestinian is not an ancestry. Before 1948, only Jews called themselves Palestinian Jews in English but Arabs did not use that name which is a European invention. The British revived the Roman name for the Land of Israel. The Arabs called it Southern Syria which Muslim Nazi Syria continues to do.

The fact that they would include a fake nation as a nationality, and exclude a real nation... tells you everything.

But I do understand what you are saying about lack of Jewish identity when only using nationality.  When I was a kid... I had to use bring a flag of the 'Soviet Union' when we did our 'cultural background' assignment, even though almost everyone in my family hated Russia... and never felt part of Russia... yet that was all I could choose.  So I looked like an idiot bringing a flag of the hammer and sickle to school to share my heritage.

This is all very odd. I put in Jerusalem in Facebook, and it come up Jerusalem, Israel. Perhaps it's been changed since the complaint?!
