Pro-Israel Internet Censorship

Israel's Internet Censorship War - If Americans Knew

Wikipedia has been systematically targetted by pro-Isreal groups for over a decade.

 

Google/Youtube censorship operates at the corporate level. In recent years the ACLU and ADL teamed up with Google to "combat hate speech". [link]

  Youtube censorship in favour of the Israeli narrative has gotten out of hand. Videos are being removed dispite having no hint of racism or "hatespeech" whatsoever, with no reason given in most cases, just that the video breached Youtube's terms & guidelines.

  Facebook's censorship is less transparent & has a lot of problems. It heavily censors pro-Palestine content leading to up to 95% of complaints about pro-Palesine content leading to censorship.

Bitch I hate censorship no matter which group is being targeted.  It is satisfying to see the left being bitten by the censorship police for fucking once.  Maybe if enough leftist have their Jew hating videos censored they can begin to understand why censorship of political opinions is a bad thing no matter which site of the argument is targeted.  Then again, when has the left ever been able self-reflect.

Whether or not this is true, I can't say but I would not be surprised at all if it is.

I have to say, after listening to what the video is accusing Israel of doing, it would appear that what they are doing is not really any different than what the BDS organizers have been doing.

I didn't take you as a pro-censorship type of person.

I think this "BDS does it too" argument has serious flaws. The most obvious flaw being that it's not true.

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+BDS+movement+censors+the+internet

 

The only censorship I've seen the BDS movement engaged in is of their own FB page. Can you even show that they've attempted to censor the internet at large?

I'm not pro-censorship.  I think you missed my point entirely.  First, I wasn't addressing censorship part in that post, I addressed that in response to Ninjizz3.0.  I was talking about the effective use of social media and other Internet forums to defend itself from the Jew haters who made the video are minging about.

 

I'm especially tickled by the bitching about editing Wikipedia.  As if the Jew hating left don't do that shit on a regular basis.  It's Wikipedia, it's open to be edited by the public, not just the leftist Jew haters.  Of course Israel is going to combat the misleading information being posted there.  In the video they cite some guy calling it "tampering".  It's a completely open forum, it's not tampering.  Is it also tampering when the Jew haters edit Wikipedia?  I'm going to guess the answer would be no.  Weird how that works.  A Jew hater edits a page, that's normal.  A Jew edits the page to add information about Israel, that's fucking tampering!!

 

ACT.IL must be pretty effective if the Jew haters are complaining.  It's not like ACT.IL is trying to hide it's existance.  They state pretty plainly why they exist and what they're doing.  They exist because the BDS movement exists and what they do is counter the lies of the BDS movement.

 

Here's what this boils down to.  Whoever made this video does not appreciate the fact that Isreal is using the freedom of the Internet to wage an effective information compaign.  This video author seems to confuse "refutation" with "censorship".  I didn't see anything in the video where it says Israel is kicking people offline for spreading Jew hatred.  If they were then one would think this very video you are posting would have been erased by now, but here it is.

 

The video claims that YouTube CEO came to some agreement to censor Jew hating anti-Israel videos.  OK, YouTube says a lot of shit to placate people.  Show me a fucking contract where YouTube says they are partnering with Israel to remove anything Israel demands and you might have something.  If YouTube is just deleting video of people calling for attacks on Israel then that's legit.

 

I just spotted a very dishonest edit in the video.  At the 11:13 minute mark the video begins to address the ADL.  The narrator says that the ADL considers critisism of Israel to be anti-semitism.  THAT IS A LIE.

State-backed manipulation of Wikipedia is okay with you?

FYI - the person who started the group behind the video (ifamericansknew) is a Jewish American, as are a lot of the staff, so I'm not sure how you justify calling the producers "Jew haters".

I don't know what you mean by "effective use of social media and other Internet forums" - this video mostly deals with censorship, including censorship of social media.

 ADL has created a reputation for itself, as a criticizer of highly respected human rights workers, scholars and political figures. The ADL even went after Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the esteemed South African anti-apartheid campaigner, when he was appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council to head a fact-finding mission to Gaza. Astonishingly, the organization even criticized Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress in the 1980s because of Israel’s close friendship with apartheid South Africa

 

 

In 1993, the San Francisco police raided an ADL office after discovering a police officer had provided the organization with information on American citizens supporting the Palestinian cause and those opposing South African apartheid. The ADL’s Roy Bullock, an undercover investigator, held records consisting of information on 77 Arab organizations and nearly 647 leftist and anti-apartheid organizations.

Did you read the last paragraph in your link?

Finally, it should be noted that even if strident anti-Israel activism is not motivated by anti-Semitism, at times, these campaigns create an environment which make anti-Semitism more acceptable. As then President of Harvard Lawrence H. Summers said in 2002 in reaction to an anti-Israel divestment campaign on campus, such advocacy is “anti-Semitic in their effect if not in their intent.”

- this is where they get ya. They're saying that an anti-Israel campaign has an effect of anti-semitism..... (and of course needs to be censored). The ADL campaigns for making the BDS campaign illegal - https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/adl-supports-controversial-anti-bds-bill-act-won-t-limit-free-speech-1.5441786

- it's quite obvious that the ADL does whatever it can within the mantle of "fighting hate speech" to silence critics of Israel. Even proposing laws to mess with your freedom of speech. But hey.... that's okay because "Jew haters" right?

 

 

Show me a fucking contract where YouTube says they are partnering with Israel to remove anything Israel demands and you might have something

It's an agreement with the ADL, not Israel. Here's the press release: https://www.adl.org/news/press-releases/adl-applauds-google-and-youtube-in-expanding-initiative-to-fight-online-hate

 

 

The narrator says that the ADL considers critisism of Israel to be anti-semitism.  THAT IS A LIE.

Taken from the ADL's definition of anti-Semitism [link]:

Anti-Israel activity crosses the line to anti-Semitism when:

  • Israel is denied the right to exist as a Jewish state...

... so according to this definition, Harry Truman is anti-Semitic because he endorsed Israel as a state, not a Jewish state.

 

 

I don't know how you can throw your most valued freedoms out the window to support a country claims to be for a specific race of people & practices apartheid.
