A post denouncing political commentary on Facebook. Hala Abdel Nour decided that she will no longer engage in political debate on the social media website, saying: "I believe that it is in the best interest of a powerful few for the majority of us to live in fear and hate each other. We then hand over all our rights to those with already too much power to control our lives. I believe we are all ONE race (human) and as humans we are connected as ONE with all living beings. That's it". We asked Hala why she took this decision given the power of social media to connect people around the globe.
