"The horror continues as always for the Palestinian people. She is Leila Khaled. For those who do not know her, this is not a bad time to approach her story, which is also the story of a resistance," wrote Florencia Kirchner.
Later, the daughter of the Vice President proposed to her followers: "Look, if your starting point was not a luck, a privilege. They are horrible in their private worlds." And to close, she wrote #PalestinaLibre.

The complete complaint
Message from Florencia Kirchner.
All super democratic. They deleted a post I made about Palestine.
Welcome to the world where it is only well seen to be uneducated without any determination about anything. The publication was considered "violent". I wish they considered violent what happens there, the lives of thousands of children would be different.
Absolutely all networks censor at some point publications related to the topic, Why will it be ?.
Violence is that they don't let us speak. My post had no insults, no discrimination, no talk of terrorist organizations. It alluded to the plan for the annexation of territories that made headlines in the last two days and highlighted a historical figure of the resistance. Every day they propose a new burial in the language of submission.
Leila Khaled and her fight for Palestine
Khaled (76) began to military actively in favor of the liberation of Palestine in 1967, when he entered the Palestinian political-military organization called Fatah.
But he became an internationally known figure after participating in armed operations with which he managed to hijack a plane in 1969 and unsuccessfully attempted to repeat the maneuver in 1970.
Khaled currently continues to advocate for the liberation of Palestine, but acknowledged that the hijacking of planes does not represent a legitimate form of protest.
For her, the Arab-Israeli peace process "is not a peace process" but "it is a political process where the balance of forces is for the Israelis and not for us."
