New York: Renowned world social network Facebook has removed an intifada page calling for a new Palestinian uprising against Israel after more than 350,000 people signed up to it.
The page which appeared on the social networking site was called Third Palestinian Intifada after two previous uprisings against Israeli occupation.
A company spokesman said it was removed for featuring calls for violence.
Israel had raised concerns about the page. Facebook has helped spread calls for protests in Arab states.
The Third Palestinian Intifada page had called for an uprising after Muslim prayers on Friday May 15.
According media reports, three new copycat pages have appeared, with more than 7,000 Palestinians signing up to them.
