A First: US Jerusalem Consulate Facebook Hebrew Post

After years of following the Facebook page of the United States Consulate Facebook page and noting that despite perhaps 1,000,000 Hebrew readers in the area over which it supervises it does not appear in Hebrew, only English and Arabic.

I now see that one post, only one post, has appeared also in Hebrew:





Maybe Jason Greenblatt's presence was a help?

The next days' posts reverted to the Hebrew-exclusion policy.

Three hours later they posted about

an introductory course on the TOEFL test at America House Ramallah. This will be a 5 - week class and will prepare you for ALL four areas of the TOEFL testing reading, writing, listening and speaking! The deadline for application is Sunday 19th.

The next day they posted about
Calling all 14-16 year olds! Are you interested to learning about robotics and new technology? If so, join our Tech Club! 


And a few hours after that, a post on:

Deputy Consul General Dorothy shared her experience as a female leader with our English Access Microscholarship Program - Headquarters class in Ramallah

An aberration?
