Web Site Advocating the Killing of Jews Has 24 Hours to Clean Up its Act

A website openly advocating killing Jews removed from its former ISP in New Jersey has surfaced again " for a while" at a small ISP in Providence Utah (near Logan).

The web site is violently anti-American and anti-Semitic. For example. In an article titled "Ten Reasons Why Jews are Kosher Targets," (www.freearabvoice.org/tenReasonsIsraeliJewsAreKosherTargets.htm) the writer first comments that the views expressed in the article are not "extremist."

Then he writes "Palestinian and Arab opinion polls, on Al Jazeera.net for example, indicated in the past that support for the human bombs tactic runs upwards of ninety percent on the Arab street. Indeed, such human bombs are not only justified. Much more of them is needed."

Reasons given for advocating Jews as targets include "They are occupying by force land which doesn't belong to them, they have ethnically cleansed the Palestinians from that, after more than fifty years, they still refuse to let the Palestinians return to their land and property, they are objectively part of an imperialist colonial base in the heart of the Arab World."

Another writer on the site expresses his dislike for the United States policy in Iraq and his apparent happiness that clergyman Abdul Majid Al Khoui was killed.

In an article titled "Iraqi Resistance Report V" dated April 10 2003 (www.freearabvoice.org/Iraq/Report/report05.htm) he writes that there were two important things that have happened recently. "The first was the human bomb that took several American invaders to meet the landlord of the planet, ironically enough, in front of PALESTINE Hotel in Baghdad. The second was the successful elimination of an important agent of imperialism, a clergyman of a very high rank who came in the holy city of Najaf on top of an American tank just a few days ago to help form a pro-American Iraq. If they don't imply anything, these two painful blows to the Anglo-American occupation of Iraq imply ... That the resistance is far from over. On the contrary, it has just begun on a wholly different dimension (although it continues in its old form in many parts of Baghdad)."

After being informed of the nature of the site being hosted by his company, Mark Stevenson, vice president of operations at West Host Inc., said in an e-mailed response "We appreciate being informed about the true nature of this website. Any web host can tell you that enforcing the policies and guidelines is a difficult and sometimes impossible task. We do not set these policies to only protect our company legally, but also because we firmly believe in these standards on a personal level as well. We do not wish to provide service, support, or in any way help a web site that we find objectionable and is in violation to the clear standards that we set."

Stevenson said he has e-mailed the site operators instructions to clean up their act. He said he wrote "We have recently received a complaint about your web site and were made aware of the focus and nature of your website and need to remind you that you are violating the policies and guidelines that you agreed to when you signed up with WestHost ... You have 24 hours to conform your website content to our policies and guidelines or we will be forced to disable your account. Please respond with details on what you plan to do to rectify the situation. If you have any questions about this, please let me know."

In addition, Stevenson said he sent a reminder to the site operators about his company's terms of service.

In part the company's terms of service read (www.westhost.com/policy.html), "WestHost Inc reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. Clients may only use WestHost Inc's servers for lawful purpose. Transmission of any material in violation of any Federal, State or Local regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to copyrighted material, material legally judged to be threatening or obscene, and material protected by trade secrets."

Stevenson said he suspects the web site operators will not conform to his company's policies, but will use the 24 hours to find another host.

There probably isn't a need for Freepers to write WestHost. I think that our mission has been accomplished.

If you're interested in this sort of thing, there are plenty more sites just as bad as that one for you to take on at Online-Haganah.

[John Frum]

If I had access to the SCUMbag who wrote that blurb, he'd NOT be walking around freely, of that I guarantee YOU.

[tracer]

There seems to be a number of these turds floating to the surface near Ogden. And they have been noticed in that they are believed to be doing more than talking and writing hate.....

[JohnathanRGalt]

There seems to be a number of these turds floating to the surface near Ogden.

That particular one lists his address as being in Greece. I don't think the Utah connection is anymore that he decided to put his website up on an ISP in Utah.

It won't be in Utah after a few hours anyway.

[JoJo Gunn]

There's gonna have to be more than one web site shut down. The various IndyMedias have this kind of crap all the time.

[Zipporah]

There is one thing about stating your position.. but THIS?? Note: This is not some 'extremist' position. Palestinian and Arab opinion polls, on Al Jazeera.net for example, indicated in the past that support for the human bombs tactic runs upwards of ninety percent on the Arab street. Indeed, such human bombs are not only justified. Much more of them is needed.

[RonHolzwarth]

re: "human bombs tactic runs upwards of ninety percent on the Arab street. Indeed, such human bombs are not only justified. Much more of them is needed."

Yeah. If they would kill only themselves, in sufficient numbers, the problem would be solved!

[Imal]

I imagine he'll have to move this page to the DNC website, where views like this are not only tolerated, but encouraged.

[tracer]

This may be unrelated to the fact that there has ben an increased presence of hate groups and their activities in Utah and Idaho as of late. The cancer is spreading....

[bluelowrider57]

the views expressed in the article are not "extremist."

Of course not, they're normal.

[Timesink]

There's gonna have to be more than one web site shut down. The various IndyMedias have this kind of crap all the time.

At it's current rate of increasingly virulent (and violent) hyperbole, I think it's only a matter of time before various hosting companies stop providing Indymedia with bandwidth, too.

[Timesink]

Argh. "it's" = "its" of course. I get so annoyed when I do that.

[JoJo Gunn]

I wish. sigh

I'm not too sharp about servers and backbones and all that. Don't they, at least some of them, have their own setups? Maybe I'm confusing them with that outfit in British Columbia, where all the ELF stuff comes out of.

But anyway, they'd maybe get the ACLU on the case for First Amendment reasons. Even NeoNazis need protection too, ya know.
