(copied from alt.revisionism) The Jewish Campaign to Censor the Internet (Brian Smith) Consistent with the compulsive Jewish need to control everything like a big Jewish mother and ensure that noone has the freedom to say anything Jews find offensive, the Jewish watchdog organization "The Simon Wiesenthal Center" began a letter-writing campaign in January 1996 urging ISP's to prevent "haters" (i.e., anyone with views disliked by Jews) from having access to the internet. Using the usual Jewish incremental approach, it will be just a matter of time before reluctant ISP's are boycotted by Jews into compliance and politically incorrects are booted off the net. Jews have already pressured ISP's in Europe to issue bans on "hate speech." ----------------begin--------------------- Wiesenthal Center Begins Letter Campaign 10 Jan 1996 The Simon Wiesenthal Center began a letter-writing campaign requesting that Internet providers restrict access to groups or individuals who present material which promotes racism, anti-Semitism, mayhem and/or violence. This decision has been challenged by both the Internet providers and various civil libertarians. They argue that free and open debate is the way to defeat hate. According to Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Wiesenthal Center, "[hate groups]...are able to dress up their message in a way that looks ... presentable.'' Several well-made web sites now available on the World-Wide-Web cause alarm to the Simon Wiesenthal Center. These include: Aryan Nations, Skinheads U.S.A. and The Aryan Crusader's Library. Another site which has upset the Wiesenthal Center is that of Holocaust revisionist, Ernst Zuendel. Zuendel has commented on the attempt to curtail his views: ``The Internet is the first and last truly free marketplace of ideas, for the time being. It levels the playing field. To curtail the freedom for some will curtail the freedom for all.'' The Wiesenthal Center argues that the Internet providers themselves are publishers who have a civic responsibility not to promote bigotry.
