Jews Calling for Internet Censorship Again

According to an article by the New York Post, the Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC), an anti-European Jewish organization, has found that more and more people criticize international Jewry online.

“There’s everything from mocking the legacy of Anne Frank [who died of typhus but has been expoited as a ‘Holocaust victim’ by Jews ever since], to getting young people to try to join in with a racist, extreme far-right [sic] group in the United States,” says Rabbi Abraham Cooper at the SWC.

Twitter generally avoids political censorship. Recently however, a Jewish student organization in France pressured Twitter into releasing personal details of thought criminals in France.

The Wiesenthal Center is not satisfied, but wants Twitter to apply strict rules regarding thought criminals internationally.

Jewish U.S. Representative Eliot Engel said Twitter has “an obligation to help stanch the spread of venomous speech.” By “venomous speech”, Engel means criticism of Jews.

“I believe Twitter needs to balance the needs of a free and open Internet with the obligations of a soon-to-be publicly traded company to responsibly curb the spread of hate online,” he said. By “hate”, Engel means criticism of Jews.
