Israel wants Google, YouTube to censor Palestinian videos

Author:

TEL AVIV – Israel’s Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs Tzipi Hotovely has met with representatives of Google and YouTube to discuss ways to ‘cooperate’ in what she calls the ‘fight’ against ‘inciting violence’ and ‘terrorism.’

The Maariv newspaper reported that the Israeli minister agreed to work with Google and YouTube in order to establish a joint working mechanism to monitor and prevent the publication of ‘inflammatory material’ originating in the Palestinian territories.

Since the latest escalation of violence between Palestinians and Israeli security services that erupted at the beginning of October, many people have been sharing videos depicting Israeli aggression towards Palestinians to highlight the Palestinian perspective of the conflict.

London-based Al-Araby Al-Jadeed newspaper has expressed concerns that the meetings suggest moves towards censoring Palestinian material on the part of the Israeli state.
