YouTube Irony: Jewish group demands YouTube reinstate Gaza videos and remove Nazi propaganda

Posted by Claire Connelly in Politics, Religion, Technology

The same Jewish group that is lobbying YouTube to remove videos that glorify Nazi Germany, is also demanding that it reverse its decision to remove videos showing hundreds of innocent civilians being killed in the Gaza Strip. I’m sure I don’t need to point out the massive irony that exists here.

Of course any person that denies the existence of the Holocaust, or suggests that Hitler was right, is a disgusting, racist human being. But regardless, they are as entitled to their opinion, as the Zionists who believe it is right to glorify the deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians living in the Gaza strip by broadcasting it on YouTube to millions of men women and children all over the world.

I can’t believe that these people can seriously rationalise Israel’s use of YouTube as a convenient forum for propaganda, but demand that videos uploaded for the same purpose be removed. I cannot seriously comprehend, no matter the scale of moral relativism, what kind of distinction these people could possibly be making that would make these claims ok. Both videos glorify the deaths of innocent people.

The most disgusting part about all of this, is that both sides (the Jews who want the Gaza videos reinstated, and the Nazis that uploaded the Holocaust videos) both believe that their positions are completely true and perfectly justified. Both sides feel that their actions, and the actions of past people were necessary for “survival”, even at the expense of an entire race and religion of people.

I don’t know what the solution to the Middle East conflict is, but I know that YouTube is not going to win the war for them. And in my opinion, trying to manipulate the global population into taking sides, via YouTube is cheap, tacky, and completely transparent. It is deliberately designed to further alienate people from each other, Jews against Muslims, brother against sister, tearing friendships apart. It’s a second front.

Besides it’s not as if Israel needs anyone’s approval to wage an unjustified war, they’ve learned from America’s example. Even after the largest scale of global protest against the second Gulf War, the coalition of the willing still stormed into the Middle East guns blazing. Eight years later there is still no end in sight. Need I point out that if Hamas or Palestinian groups had posted videos of Israelis being killed on YouTube, people would be up in arms.

Truthfully, it would probably be easier for both videos to be removed. Truthfully, it would have been easier if neither videos had existed in the first place. But the internet is supposed to be a forum for democracy. YouTube in particular is supposed to fall under that category, a site run completely by users. Removal of either videos would be a blatant attack on free-speech.
