Abstract
This article discusses four types of silencing used by ordinary citizens against Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu in comments on his Facebook posts: general silencing in this communication channel aimed at preventing his writing on Facebook; thematic silencing intended to prevent him from speaking on certain issues; metalinguistic silencing aimed at preventing Netanyahu from speaking in certain ways; and meta-pragmatic silencing designed to prevent him from speaking in order to fulfill certain communicational functions.
