Israeli Minister: Facebook, Google Are Part Of The Problem In Fighting Terror
by Deborah Danan23 May 2016
“Social media companies are happy to use the data they collect on all of us to make money, but unfortunately not to help stop terror,” Erdan said.
The minister, who was addressing the Jerusalem Post‘s annual conference in New York, also said that Israel has developed a system for identifying “lone wolf attackers” – the term used for Palestinian terrorists who commit acts of violence of their own accord – via their social media feeds.
Erdan delineated the challenges in dealing with anti-Israel incitement on the internet, but said that Palestinian society has always used whatever tools it has at its disposal to spread hatred.
“For many years we have seen that this incitement is also widespread in Palestinian schools, universities, and official media channels,” he said.
“This incitement glorifies terror and encourages violence, even teaching children as young as kindergarten to stab Jews.”
“As a human being and a father of four, I am sickened at the thought of children being taught violence, not peace; to hate, not to love,” he added.
The minister blamed social media for fueling the recent upsurge in Palestinian violence.
