Doesn't it seems interesting that people can't question the acts of Israel in the Gaza strip without being?

labeled racist, or anti-semitic or have their questions removed. I just answered a great question about the Israeli murdering and targeting of UN aid workers (of which the UN has also complained about that) and the UN school (with 40+ people killed). The majority of people agreed with the question that Israel is targeting them, however now I see that the question, which was asked by another person FYI, was removed. It makes me think that besides Israel banning the media from going into Gaza to report on their genocide of the Palestinians, that obviously they also have major influence on YA and anyone questioning them will have questions removed.

    You are right, it actually was my question that was deleted. And not looking at the board there is another question that stated that the Palestinians in Gaza are terrible to their children and deserve to be wiped off of the planet. That is genocide, but YA keeps that one on and my questioning of Israel banning the media and targeting that UN aid driver and the UN school (with 40+ killed) was deleted. Granted it may have been bad when I edited it to answer a person calling stating that the Palestinians were anti-semitic and I stated since they speak one of the semitic languages and hence are semitic themselves they couldn't be anti-semitic. In addition, that they couldn't nor can anyone be racist against Jews, as since anyone can become a Jew (since it is a religion) that it is just as likely to be racist against a Jew as being racist against a Christian, it is impossible since anyone of any race can and is a Jew/Christian, etc. But obviously letting that media secret out of the bag was a bad one. Ooops, me bad.

    Yes, I have been labelled as anti-Semitic a few times already, which I'm not...it makes me laugh. I have had some questions removed, I think if someone doesn't like your question they just click the report it button and it is removed. Then you should get an email saying that if you wish to contest it you can email YA, or something like that.

    There is a very strong pro-Israeli lobby in the States, and many other countries. Just continue asking and responding to questions, that's what I do. And I wouldn't be surprised if the Israelis were going on YA nd other forums etc, this is also an information war....why do you think the Israelis won't allow foreign journalists into Gaza, they want to control the truth.They don't want the world to see what is happening in Gaza. But the world is catching onto their lies, they can't fool us all.

    questions automatically get deleted when someone hits the violation button. they are too cheap to hire moderators for this forum so they figure safe than sorry and allow anyone to delete anything. Just for fun you can go delete lots of random questions just to be a jerk or you can find questions you dislike and report them.

    You live in just as much censorship as in israel, China, Russia. the media is controlled everywhere. Some of the 1st targets in iraq were media outlets, al jazeera and al jazeera had an office in the "green zone" they had reps work directly with US military but we still blow up thier sub stations and offices. What i think would be funny is to see some army guys putting thier gear on all rambo style and they get together and march out in formation, then they go down the hall like it's backstage at jay leno kick open the office next door and start murdering these journalists. Sounds sureal but i guess it's better when they drop bombs from the air.

    You'll also notice certain websites online are blocked which it's easy to say that some sites should be blocked, but we made a big stink about the great firewall of china. There are specific laws about what the media is allowed to say and about what you are allowed to say. You can rationalize the reasons why this speach is restricted but the simple fact is there are laws against what you're allowed to say. These laws are no different here than anywhere in the world.

    We send CIA and others to start revolutions in the middle east and asia. we cry that they arrest our spies and terrorists but what would we do if the Russians sent KGB to start militias to and carry out raids in america. Would you allow them thier freedom of speech? yet we expect our cia and others to have that right in afgahnistan or iran. who was surprised by 9/11, who was surprised by gaza? you really thought you didn't deserve it because you had better technology. because you had guided missiles.

    I remember that bit about the UN allowing Hamas to use it as cover, and then being shocked when they get hit in a crossfire. I'm guessing it was removed because it wasn't a question, just a mindless rant.

    yes i read an article in the paper, that said that the state of israel was putting questions on yahoo answers and other forums of a propaganda form, to attack all desent

    .

    they are only doing this because they know what they are doing is repulsive.

    but most free thinking people can see through the mist

    .

    it seems to be the sort of people who hate obama and love guns who are supporting israel to kill children.

    Using Anti-Semitic is there way of ending a debate....

    It seems to me that most people who support Hamas on Y!A aren't interested in fair-minded communication, facts, or even common courtesy toward others. That may have something to do with their questions being deleted, I don't know.
