Hi again!
Facebook thinks I live in "Palestine". According to a recent email I received, "Facebook seems to have decided that Yehuda and the Shomron don't exist- it's no longer possible to list any yishuv in Yesha as your hometown!". When I checked, indeed my "hometown" had been removed. When I tried to change it to Maaleh Adummim, the country "Palestine" was displayed, not "Israel". Never mind that there is not, in fact, any such country; never mind, that 99.8% of the residents of M"A are Jewish (the remaining 0.2% are Christians); never mind that we all pay taxes to Israel, speak Hebrew, etc. etc... "Farcebook" knows better than we do. Maybe this explains their slow spiral of death?
