Help stop the Censorship of the Internet in Israel
Back in May, 2007 I first wrote about the Internet Censorship Law Proposed in Israel. Since then the situation has gotten worse (if you believe in an uncensored Internet). Jonathan Klinger and Gadi Shimshon are some of the Israeli bloggers who are speaking out against the Censorship of the Internet in Israel.
Yesterday afternoon during a friendly game of poker, the topic of the censorship was raised by me and I took out my Nokia N95 and broadcast the conversation live on Qik. Heard in the conversation were the voices of Jonathan Klinger, Gadi Shimshon, Nimrod Kozlovski, Yotam Tavor and Gilad Zirkel.
(I won the hand in play without looking at my cards.)

what is censorship to one person it may be fine to another. This is one opnion within a country that wants our children brought up correctly without the dirt that resides on the internet. To mention the Shas party within the same breath as bribing to get more money then the people who write these blogs should open there eyes before making these judgements or worse. People from outside of Israel should look more deeply into what is going on in Israel before taking the words of a few people without knowing all the facts. Jeff Pulver blog is very strong and wide reaching and that is why it is very important to be very careful before you go out of your way and accuse people of censorship for the sake of censorship. Is it wrong or not is not that important as how people take things out of its preportion and blow it up. This is an open discussion with many view points. The people who brand the word "censorship" are few and far between what society wants or needs. Be careful what you say or how you say against another person.
