Brother Nathanael critiques a tech-EU pact against hate speech, highlighting how Jewish lobbyists like Moshe Cantor and Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt equate Israel criticism with anti-Semitism to justify censorship. Citing Robert Singer's praise for removing racist videos, the host argues this creates a slippery slope where "perfect victims" become perpetrators of suppression. By invoking Voltaire's warning about identifying rulers through forbidden speech, the episode concludes that applauding such internet censorship ultimately betrays free expression.

Crusade Against Hate Speech 00:02:18

The usual suspects are at it again.

It's a crusade against hate speech that can be named speech Jews hate to hear.

The latest round of this sanctified struggle has EU bloggers in its crosshairs.

Bloomberg News was one of the first to cheer on tech giants to form a posse of online intermediaries to throw gags into offenders' mouths.

Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Microsoft all made a pact with the EU to apparently do just that.

Reuters reported that Jewish lobbyists, frequently the target of hate speech, welcomed the agreement.

Of course! Moshe Cantor of the European Jewish Press, who calls criticism of Israel the new anti-Semitism.

There is a new type of anti-Semitism which is called anti-Israelism.

Hailed the agreement as an historic pact that could not arrive at a better time.

Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt of the Conference of European Rabbis, who says Muslims and Jews are natural allies.

We see ourselves fighting together with our Muslim brothers.

They are our natural allies.

Applauded the agreement as the first step in combating a culture of fear.

And Robert Singer of the World Jewish Congress, who tells the line of Jews being a light to the Gentiles.

This is our moment to be a light unto each other and to all other nations.

Said tens of thousands of YouTube videos voicing racist hate speech must be stopped.

Oh, the horror. Hate speech is decimating cities, leaving entire nations in rubble.

But it's just text or a video that one may or may not click.

It's not like it chases you down, puts a gun to your head, and says, click it or tick it.

Censorship is always a slippery slope.

What starts as a way to protect a victim turns the classic victim into a perpetrator.

Jews are always the perfect victim, now of hate speech, which must be censored.

Voltaire once said, to learn who rules over you, find out who you're not allowed to criticize.

So who's applauding internet censorship?
