The Senate’s Censor-in-Chief who spent years howling that Facebook wasn’t censoring enough speech is attacking Facebook for censoring speech.
Hamas speech.
Senator Elizabeth Warren dispatched a letter whining that Facebook is suppressing “Palestinian voices”. The letter was endorsed by, among others, the Adalah Justice Project, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), Americans for Justice in Palestine Action (AJP Action), Fight for the Future and, MPower Change.
Taher Herzallah, the Outreach and Grassroots Organizing Director for AMP, was recently caught on video, stating that Jews were the enemy.
“Anybody who has any relationship or any support or identifies himself as a Jewish person or as a Christian Zionist then we shall not be their friend, I will tell you they are enemy number one and our community needs to recognize that.”
After genocidal pro-terror campus mobs, university presidents suddenly rediscovered their love of free speech. So did media outlets and a variety of leftist groups, including Human Rights Watch, have also joined in, claiming that Facebook is censoring the pro-terror side.
Human Rights Watch complains that Facebook prohibits “organizations or individuals that proclaim a violent mission or are engaged in violence [from having] a presence on Meta” and “’praise’ and ‘substantive support’ of groups or individuals from Meta’s platforms. These are vague and broad terms that can include expression that is protected under international human rights law. In its scope and application, the DOI policy effectively bans the endorsement of many major Palestinian political movements and quells the discussion of current hostilities.”
Which groups is Human Rights Watch referring to?
Facebook uses “sweeping bans on vague categories of speech, such as ‘praise’ and “support’ of “dangerous organizations,” which it relies heavily on the United States government’s designated lists of terrorist organizations to define. The US list includes political movements that have armed wings, such as Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The ways in which Meta enforces this policy effectively bans many posts that endorse major Palestinian political movements and quells the discussion around Israel and Palestine;”
So Hamas.
Human Rights Watch complains that Facebook is taking down posts in support of Hamas.
Not that it comes right out and says it. Neither does Sen. Warren. Instead they dance around what they actually mean, pretending that the issue is censorship of “mere mentions of Hamas”, but eventually the truth will out. And this is the real agenda.
The good news is that the Left still believes in free speech. The bad news is that the only free speech it believes in is praising Hamas.
Thwarting Muslim initiatives entails perpetuation of non-Muslim prerogatives.
Like living.
Odd, perhaps, that those who reject the Golden Rule demand, from those who honor it, the fruits of it.
Like, specifically, tolerance, which Islam specifically forbids being shown anyone else, and Muslims repeatedly demand as testimony to their unworthiness to participate in human affairs.
Islam exists as a military phenomenon.
I recommend its extirpation by the same methodology.
If they want to end occupations, we’ll start with their’s.
It will give NATO something useful to do.
The celebrated *American Friends of Hamas* hoax:
Hey, making $300 in untaxed cash in an hour or so sounds like a sweet deal.
The left is forcing Israel to switch to fighting a lower intensity but much longer (years) war. Which may be to Israel’s advantage as they can take less risk with soldiers’ lives while exploiting their technological advantages.
From the river to the sea is where ISRAEL HAS TO BE.
Is it a coincidence that AMP also stands for by Any Means Possible?
Great point about University’s rediscovering the 1st Amendment, in this case anyway. Isn’t it unique the way our US Constitution works for or against something depending on who wants to twist it into their own political knots? Then it’s left to conservatives to untie those knots, but that takes much longer to accomplish and sometimes gets lost in the fray.
It’s Orwellian to call what we have now “free speech”, so we can’t be surprised by the left’s shenanigans. Even NeoCon Nikki claims as one of her tenants the elimination of online/social media anonymity. I’m sure it has nothing to do with potential prosecution for WRONGTHINK.
Talk to your pet, significant other or pillow if you’re truly interested in emoting free speech, because the soapbox has either been co-opted by Marxists or has been busted up for firewood. I’ll be awaiting FPM moderation…wink, wink.
When Muslim Youths beat up on Santa and proclaim THIS IS OUR COUNTRY then its time to return them to where they came from and close the Border Period and Ban all Muslim refugees prone to violent behavior
