MINISTER: FACEBOOK, MARK ZUCKERBERG HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS: Israel's Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan has launched a scathing attack on social media giant Facebook, saying the company and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg have blood on their hands and bear some responsibility for last week’s shocking murder of a 13-year-old Israeli girl. Hallel-Yaffa Ariel was stabbed to death as she slept in her bed in Kiryat Arba by a 17-year-old Palestinian terrorist, who had repeatedly incited violence and told of his desire to die killing Israelis on Facebook. A video of his mother praising his actions and calling for more attacks circulated on Facebook soon after and, shockingly, still has not been taken down. Erdan said that "part of the blood of those murdered are on the hands of Facebook," lamenting Facebook's notoriously liberal approach to deleting anti-Israel incitement. "The young generation's entire discourse is happening on the social media networks, all the incitement and lies occur on that platform," he added, and suggested Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg should engage in "some introspection."
