Yuli Edelstein in letter to Steve Jobs: "Application calls for uprising against Israel, iPad apps should not be instrument for incitement to violence."

Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein sent a letter Tuesday to Apple CEO Steve Jobs requesting that the computer giant remove an application called the "3rd intifada" that gives information about protest activities, some of them violent, planned against Israel.

The same organization, Edelstein wrote, opened a Facebook page three months ago "calling for an uprising against the State of Israel by use of lethal force, while using hateful material based on wild and groundless accusations."

Edelstein said that Facebook removed the page after it became convinced of the page's "harmful nature" and its potential of leading to the loss of life.

The more that call Apple's Customer Service (1-800-My Apple) to complain, the sooner they will remove this free iphone, ipad & itouch application from the itunes store.

I would think it might be better to keep the app around and get access to the chatter.

Email maher@webatme.com to protest. This is the website that supports the app.
