Singapore makes Israeli embassy to remove FB post about Palestine, Quran

An “insensitive” post by the Embassy of Israel here that tried to make a political point citing the holy Quran has been taken down after the intervention by the government of Singapore.The post on the Facebook page was made on Sunday.

Minister for Law and Home Affairs K Shanmugam called it an “astonishing attempt to rewrite history,” and said the post was “insensitive,” “inappropriate” and “completely unacceptable” as it carried the risk of undermining safety, security and harmony in Singapore.

“I was very upset when I was told about it,” he told reporters at a doorstop on Monday.
