In yet another show of how social media guidelines can be abused when it comes to social justice, Israeli model, actress and pro-Israel advocate Noa Tishby's Instagram post, in which she stated that Sharia law, and by definition the Taliban and Hamas, was oppressive to women, got removed by the networking giant, claiming the post went "against their Community Guidelines," Walla News reported Thursday.

Tishby took to social media to call out the Taliban, a notoriously misogynistic group, for vowing to protect women's rights while adhering to Sharia law that diametrically opposed them.

"Just so we're clear, Sharia law states that a woman is her husband's possession, she can't leave the house unaccompanied by her husband or father," she began. "It says that if a woman is raped, she has to produce four male witnesses in order to validate her claim or she is considered a cheater and can be stoned to death. But the rapist can be redeemed if he does the right thing and marries his victim, as one of his multiple wives, of course.

"It also states that if a woman is disobedient to her husband, he can beat her up. That is Sharia law."

Tishby also criticized celebrities and leaders who missed no opportunity to attack Israel during the latest conflict with Hamas but turned a blind eye when the Taliban, "an extreme Sunni Islamist organization," took over an entire country.

"Do you know who else is an extreme Sunni Islamist organization who's committed to Sharia law and a holy war to the death?" she continued. "Hamas, the terrorist organization, which took over Gaza and is at war with Israel, is essentially the Taliban. Yet, when Hamas launches rockets into Israel and Israel tries to defend itself against these monsters, celebrities and social justice warriors explode with righteous rage against Israel, a western democracy. And when the Taliban takes over an entire country, crickets from them. 

"Hamas is the Taliban. It's the same ideology. Same commitment to death. Same human rights abuse. Same obsession with 72 virgins that are promised to you should you become a shahid."

After Instagram banned her post, Tishby uploaded another one in which she lambasted the company for removing her video and expressed confusion as to why it found speaking up about the rights of Afghani women offensive. 

Instagram reinstated the post shortly after removing it. "The video was removed accidentally and was restored as soon as we learned of its removal," it said in a statement.

After most of the population in southern and central Israel spent Tuesday night running to and from shelters due to massive rocket salvos fired from the Gaza Strip, model Bar Refaeli took to Instagram to highlight the reality her compatriots were experiencing.

Using the hashtag #IsraelUnderAttack, Refaeli posted a story recording the "1,000+ rockets" that had been fired from Gaza into Israel at the time of her post. By Wednesday that number had reached 1,100 rockets, with five Israeli casualties and dozens wounded.

She also posted a photograph of fathers at a hospital, holding their newborn babies in a fortified corridor during one of the attacks.

Refaeli wasn't the only Israeli celebrity who opted to use social media to share the reality of life under rocket fire.

Actress and writer Noa Tishby wrote on Instagram: "Terrorist organization Hamas is flaming the fire in Jerusalem … Hamas is using this conflict to gain political points at the expense of Palestinian lives."
