UN Security Council moves to end anonymity on Internet : Comments

By David Singer, published 19/5/2016

The use of the Internet as a communications tool has been fuelled by the anonymity afforded to those who use it – enabling all kinds of hate and incitement to be spewed out daily.

Dear Critic,

Thank you for the references: I didn't previously make any connection between this discussion and Israel, after all "Israel" was never mentioned in this article.

Now I am in a conflict: I hate the United-Nations, but I love Israel.

Israel was traditionally at odds with the United-Nations, which Ben-Gurion famously coined "Oom Shmoom" - http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com.au/2010/03/oom-shmoom.html

Now it seems that Israel will do anything, including by cooperating with the good-for-nothing UN, to try preventing the world from using the necessary medicine to cure it and exorcise the bad spirit that took over it in 1967.

I am encouraged from yesterday's vote in the German parliament to recognise the Armenian holocaust: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36433114

I hope that the world will not back off being too afraid to continue helping Israel to correct its ways and renew itself. Israel needs us to become well again!

I do support international sanctions: not against Israel but only against its 1967 occupation. I consider these sanctions PRO-Israel, but this has now become illegal in Israel in the same manner that it is illegal in Turkey to mention the Armenian genocide - and here is another reason why I should not provide my personal details: if I did, then I would face difficulties and prosecution when I visit my family in Israel.

In a second thought, having written what I just did, if my personal details were published then I could also be arrested as a result by the Turkish authorities on my way to/from Israel through the Istanbul airport.

Hi David,
All of the things I put forward have a basis, I don't just make things up, it would be foolish for me to do so given you're a lawyer.

Regarding the BDS comment I'll provide the links for you, but I must say I've posted the links to this topic in your articles before.
I didn't think I needed to post the links every time I mentioned a particular topic, if I'd already substantiated my position by posting them previously.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Nazi_boycott_of_1933

http://www.google.com.au/search?q=judea+declares+war+on+germany+boycott&biw=2048&bih=1041&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiQusXj44zNAhUhMaYKHcSwDVkQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=_

In my opinion, Israel's caught in a corner on BDS, and I wouldn't blame them for wanting the whole argument to just go away quietly, before the world really sees it for what it is.

The longer it continues, the more people will become aware that Jews did it to Germany prior to WWII.
The more Israel bangs on about it being anti-Semitic, the more it gives substance to Germany defending herself in that war, reducing the effectiveness of the Holocaust narrative, and which also brings into the mainstream the question of whether Jews brought their problems on themselves in that war.

Alternatively if it does nothing, the movement will get stronger.

So in my opinion Israel has been checkmated, and the only thing it can do to counter this is to censor the internet under the premise 'Anti-Semitic' and 'Hate Speech'.

It doesn't end there either.
Why is it wrong for people to use BDS, when the worlds governments routinely use sanctions as a financial weapon against other countries?
If governments do it, it's a little hypocritical to say people can't.

Regarding contacting the Security Council, that's not something I'd necessarily want to take part in.
I'm not an activist, nor the leader of any human rights organisation, nor a person who claims in any way to represent others.
I'm just an regular person expressing an opinion on an online forum.

I've made comments on Syria, not sure about the others, you'd have to go through my comments to find them.
My thoughts closely align with that of the X22 report, a youtube channel.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news Yuyutsu...
Its a funny position you're in opposing nationalism but supporting Israel, they seem to be at opposite ends of the spectrum.
I don't really know much about the Armenian Holocaust so I'm going to have to find a documentary when I have time.

Dear Critic,

Sigh, yes, nationalism is a disease and Israel is badly afflicted with it. Israel cannot heal itself until it gets rid of the poisonous territories that it took in 1967. I do love Israel and my family lives there: all I can do is pray for its healing and peace.

#Armchair critic

The links you provided contain nothing to support your statement:
""Regarding BDS, this is a legitimate non-violent protest movement and its hypocritical for them to scream anti-Semitic hate speech when Jews themselves used and provoked Hitler with prior to WWII."
