Richard Lakin, a retired school principal, used his Facebook
page to show an image of Israeli and Arab kids hugging under the word “coexist.”
Nonetheless, he recently sued Facebook for inciting violence when he saw that Facebook
published Palestinian postings of caricatures and videos that demonized Israelis,
as well as instructions on “how to stab a Jew.” Two weeks ago, Lakin was riding
on a bus in Israel when a Palestinian shot him in the head and then stabbed
multiple times— just as the Facebook videos instructed. On October 25th
Mr. Lakin died from his wounds. His family—and his lawsuit— survive him. For details, read here.
