Following up on yesterdays post "Is Israel Controlling the Internet" today we will learn about Israel’s Government and the IDF attempting to censor and control the internet, face book, you tube and many other social networks, blogs, message boards and news organisations.

Much more on link.
I find this very disturbing - that a political movement can demolish free speech in such a fervent fashion. Agreed, some of the removed sites were offensive, but anything criticising the actions of a country doing dreadful things to oppressed minorities being removed is just not on.
