Many young Palestinians incite against Israelis on Facebook and the social network fails to take down such posts, public security minister Gilad Erdan said. There were also Palestinian stabbing attacks, rocket fire at Israel by Gaza Strip militants and retaliatory Israeli airstrikes. The group, representing the US, European Union, Russia and United Nations, also called on the Palestinian Authority to take steps to reduce incitement to violence. Education minister Naftali Bennett, a former high-tech entrepreneur, told Israel Radio on Sunday that by using a simple algorithm, Facebook could block videos inciting to murder from being posted. Facebook also sabotages police efforts and turns down requests for collaboration, he said.
