A rabbi who used Facebook to recount the hateful speech directed at him by a follower of National of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan found that his post was censored by Facebook, which later called its action an error.

On Thursday, Rabbi Avram Mlotek posted about an encounter he had with individuals who said they were Farrakhan supporters while riding on a New York City subway. Although the post was taken down, others posted the contents on Facebook and Twitter.

“My friend since grade school, Rabbi Avram Mlotek, was verbally harassed on the subway last night. He shared his tale on FB, which was removed for hate speech (or offensive language) earlier today. Facebook, you can’t silence us,” poster Ely Winkler commented Friday.
