Israeli Foreign Ministry Seeks to Shut Down Antisemitic Websites Jewish Israel News Algemeiner.com
Much as I dislike hate speech, why should any given group be allowed, or think they have the right, to stop websites?
This is worse when you consider Israeli support for Charlie, and anti Islamic messages we so commonly see from pro Israeli groups.
If this nasty censorship worms its way into the internet, we must remove any and all that other groups may find offensive, and let those groups decide what content is removed.
North Korea will love it.

The Foreign Ministry’s Global Forum for Combating Antisemitism, which held a three-day conference in Jerusalem last week, determined a series of practical steps to change what it called “a discourse of hate speech.” The ministry will take action to have websites that promote Holocaust denial shut down, and to keep hate sites out of Google searches, particularly when searches for the word “Jew” direct users to antisemitic sites.
The Israeli ministry will also establish special units in each country where it has a presence to compel Internet companies to enforce their own rules against storing hate material, and to enforce existing legislation on the issue.
