"The usual suspects are at it again."

Because Katz kept using this nutcase as a source, I finally took it upon myself to look him up. He's obviously crazy, but never had heard of him. Here's he skinny.

He was born a Jew. As a child, he apparently liked the Christian idea of getting a bunch of presents on Christmas. And got made fun of one too many times for being a Jew. So he abandoned his heritage.

Fast-forward. He's become a hippy and is in some shitty band. He asks one of the members to marry him. She rejects him. So he quits.

Fast-forward. He's a homeless, crazy vagrant. He shows up at churches for charitable donations. He gets a kick out of harassing parishioners. He is repeatedly 86ed and amasses a criminal record.

Fast-forward. Rumor has it that some Jew-hating group is fascinated by his rants and sponsors his Youtube videos. He is paid with food and free airtime to call homosexual sex lines. True Neo-Nazis do not affiliate themselves because of his Jewish blood. So basically, you're listening to a homeless crazy sex-addict who the Neo-Nazis don't even deem credible.

Brother Nathanael is the Zzone token patron priest and favorite self-hating Jew.
Are you saying that the Israel/Jewish lobby is NOT pushing for web censorship??

He's a crazy person.

A whole LOT of interest groups want censorship of various things. I have no idea if a Jewish lobby wants it, and if they do, it is wholly unremarkable.

Yes, one of our favorites.

Exactly, unremarkable, I agree and so does the laudable Jewish Voice For Peace -

Dreams of Control: Israel, Global Censorship and the Internet

“Under the cover of darkness, there is no limit to the expansion of Big Brother.”

- Ilan Gilon, Meretz Party, Times of Israel, Feb 4, 2016

While Israel’s central justification for its often reactionary policies is couched in hyper-exceptionalist rhetoric, nourished by the ashes of Holocaust remembrance, current interest in censoring the Internet is far from exceptional.

Like a machine of justification against its critics and its enemies, Israel enlists various projects under the banner of the remarkable and precious, when it is simply accomplishing what other states have done before or since: the banal and ordinary. All states want to limit expression, control criticism and marginalise the sceptics.

Israel’s military censor, Col. Ariella Ben Avraham, part of the IDF’s Directorate of Military Intelligence, gave a good example of this in February by insisting that social media activists and bloggers submit material relevant to security matters for approval prior to posting. The move also revealed an increasing interest to police the digital realm, previously considered an anarchic jungle incapable of effective policing.

Israel Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan speaks of an “international coalition” that would make limiting criticism of Israel its primary objective. The central aim is hardly imaginative: making such providers as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook face up to responsibility as to what they host on their sites.

Other governments have also done their bit to limit the internet and content available to their citizens. Most famously, Beijing runs its own “Great Firewall of China”, overseen by the Ministry of Information Industry (MII), while the State Council Information Office and the Chinese Communist Party’s Propaganda Department examine content.

In recent times, countries of a supposedly democratic character have taken to the blinds and endeavoured to do what Erdan dreams about. To that end, France, the country that gave Europe the Enlightenment, has been busy forging its own vision of global internet censorship, using a mixture of security and privacy concerns.
