Israel Seeks Ways To Silence Human Rights Groups
-

It has begun by targeting one of the world’s leading rights organisations, the US-based Human Rights Watch (HRW), as well as a local group of dissident army veterans, Breaking the Silence, which last month published the testimonies of 26 combat soldiers who served in Gaza.
Additionally, according to the Israeli media, the government is planning a “much more aggressive stance” towards human rights groups working to help the Palestinians.
Officials have questioned the sources of funding received by the organisations and threatened legislation to ban support from foreign governments, particularly in Europe.
Breaking the Silence and other Israeli activists have responded by accusing the government of a “witch hunt” designed to intimidate them and starve them of the funds needed to pursue their investigations.
“This is a very dangerous step,” said Mikhael Mannekin, one of the directors of Breaking the Silence. “Israel is moving in a very anti-democratic direction.”
The campaign is reported to be the brainchild of the far-right foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, currently facing corruption charges, but has the backing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Early last month, Mr Lieberman used a press conference to accuse non-government organisations, or NGOs, of replacing diplomats in setting the international community’s agenda in relation to Israel. He also threatened reforms to curb the groups’ influence.

If Israels government starts this, I see it as a Pandora's Box for their country. Government censorship has opened the eyes of millions-now that millions of eyes have already been opened on Israels war crimes, many millions more will "see".

if you believe that the anti defamation league is the mouthpiece for zionism i am sorry you feel that way but its not the case. i recognize thier is nothing anyone can say or do to change your mind on your conspiracy theory but ultimately we are a country of the people for the people not the people of another nation. also note that judaism and zionism arent the same thing thats the elders of zion propaganda. if it makes you happy to believe it so be it but in reality its not the case. the truth is there are 8 billion muslums in the world who could care less about world domination they are muslum because they were born into muslum families aswell as billions of christians who dont have eyes for world domination just a love for christ taught to them by thier parents aswell as a few million jews in the world who would just like to be held accountable for what they have done not who they are. please think of this when you publicly post information about us and what that information is geared to do

I think Current moderators would find this video to be helpful in determining exactly what is "hate speech".
It's one of my e-buddies experiences with some of the exact same things we are talking about in this thread.

Freecrack,
The Anti-Defamation League, the mouthpiece of Zionist Israel here in America, monitors and deletes videos that expose the reality of criminal, racist extremist Zionism, but they leave all other kinds of racist stuff up for everyone.
So yes, Zionist interests do have the ability to censor on a worldwide level.
Also, the Jewish Internet Defense Force monitors Facebook and other social networks for content they don't like and are constantly getting groups deleted under the guise of "fighting anti-semitism and terrorism."
The fact of the matter is that actions like this only INCREASE real legitamite anti-Semitism, while those of us who are exposing the criminal, racist nature of Zionism face censorship.
It's really a double standard of behaviour which is completely unacceptable in a free and open society.

If someone were to post content that uses isolated quotes from a text in a way that violates our community guidelines (in this case, to incite or promote hatred of a religious, racial, or any other type of group) we have and will remove that content.
If you see something on Current that appears to attempt this, please flag it for review.

try coping the video we are talking about then it was pulled off of this site. Go see the video and then you see why we are upset, if it was a Muslim video I really think it would be posted without a doubt or a rightwing Christian one no problem. But when it came to the Talmud no way Jose! Watch the video!

yeah Government censorship. Just a way for us to not know the truth. It will never work, we will always find ways to know the truth. Especially when it comes to Israel. Its a little to late for the Government to try to hide what Israel does. we all seen the truth back during winter. and I am sure some of us know people personally from Gaza that will always tell us the truth , as well as many other parts of this world

The way I see it is that this video spoke the truth-just like many have said. The Koran, the Bible and even another Islamic writing-All of these have violence in them. All of them have been quoted here on Current. Not just by highr0ller. Mostly by the far right wing-nuts! As far as the writing in the Talmud, there are some controversial passages there like in those others.
So when these "Other" people start slamming Christianity, Islam, or whatever other religious belief by using these other books of faith its ok, eh?.
So now, someone comes out and EXPOSES what is REALLY written in the Jewish scriptures, and because it shows what is really at stake here, CURRENT suspends someone for doing so. I have NEVER seen CURRENT take off or suspend these other people slamming the Bible or other religious writings.
IN fact, I have seen stuff ignored here, but when someone comes out with proof against Zionism it instantly is taken off. Who is watching who?I stand behind highr0ller-a friend-and I deplore the fact that someone, a friend is denied their right to free speech. I also deplore a medium that denies and looks the other way to fit their own agenda-Media that is blind to the murder of innocent people, children and women-Media that opens its hands to ONLY money, not human life.
That is what is wrong with todays society and the Media is leading most people off the cliff. They are told by lobby groups NOT to say things in a way as to offend THEM or THEIR PEOPLE-only to say the BAD against whoever.
The Media is lying to people every day because of the almighty BUCK-The Dollar- denaro-.lyra, pound, sheckel, franc, or even gold.
Individuals with the media have a responsibility to bring out the truth. Todays mainstream faux news and others in the longrun will be the responsible party to mankind's demise unless they start showing some truth and responsibility.
Thats where the buck stops. A message to the Media:
Please do not allow the lust for money destroy people of this earth. Its up to you, the media to show the truth instead of distorting the truth to fit other agendas.

It seems that speaking the truth against certain races in our society is now racist. Maybe if certain races of our society would quit killing innocent women and children and stealing land that does not belong to them, then cutting off electric, water, food, medical and just plain old everyday items that are needed for everyday life. we would quit talking about them. Notice how I NEVER mentioned any race in general? I don't have to. We all know who commits these criminal acts against humanity. We all know what government is responsible. We also know that anyone who supports what they do, no matter what their race is, is just as guilty as the government that commits the acts.
We all know why she was banned. I talk to her too. I will support the right to speak your mind. I will support her forvever. She is a women who is very passionate about her feelings. She is a women who should recieve awards for the work she does in getting the truth out. She is a women who I am proud to call my friend.

There was nothing on that video that wasn't the truth it was just getting people to see what is written in a holy book just like the bible or the Koran. There are things that are not nice in both. I have seen the video and it I posted it on another site.

I am getting very sick of this Israel shit...I just heard from Highroller we talk and she is not allowed on Current for 2 weeks and she was warned that if she trys to post the story about the Talbud she will be kick off for good.What are people so affraid of it's just a holy book.A BOOK! So if I want to post a story they don't like they will kick me off this is censorship in it's worst case. I am getting very disalusioned by this site and I am sad about it.I really thought I had a place that I can see things I rarely see on TV. I just don't get it WPTV I just don't get it. Im not a journalist I am just a 50 year woman who wants to hear the truth good or bad.I tryed to say that it was good about the two reporters and they didn't allow it. WTF! Now you have the podium GO For It!

Highr0ller has always had my support and more. When the truth speaks, thats when the slime comes out to destroy the truth. We will not back down!
As far as ME taking the lead maof4brats, we all have the lead! this week I am on one of my missions of peace. I travel to near Schotland until next week. I wont have access for half the time-until Monday late anyway.
We meet with some well known peace people-sort of a secret meeting of the minds to work out some peace programs, promoting the good.
I'll be back, but please keep bringing the truth too! We all have that responsibility.

“Every dictator, from Hitler to Milosevic, has said that there must be no interference in their sovereign affairs, and that everyone else should butt out. But international law says human rights are universal and cannot be left to individual governments to interpret. The idea behind the Geneva Conventions is that the international community has a duty to be the watchdog on human rights abuses wherever they occur.”
