Zionism being similar to nazism moment:

From the beginning, Israel was established "through an inborn distinction between country, statehood, and citizenship" (Kook 2000: 267; original emphasis), whereby the national identity of Israel's citizens and the state itself were determined by religious identity.

🇵🇸 🇮🇱 Censored and Surveilled: The Digital Occupation of Palestinians | The Listening Post (Feature) by Al Jazeera English These days, Palestinians find themselves surveilled and censored online from all directions. The general assumption is that all Palestinians are under some kind of surveillance. In the past, Israel's security services monitored specific targets using fake accounts; befriending someone to try to get information. But their methods have grown much more sophisticated. Israel has since developed a "predictive policing" programme - a programme that would not sound out of place on the pages of George Orwell's 1984. It tries to identify would-be Palestinian attackers by building profiles based on things like age, location and the types of posts they write on Facebook. "He probably doesn't even know it yet, but technology predicts that according to certain conditions, he will commit the next attack," says Nadim Nashif, 7amleh's executive director, "and so he gets interrogated, investigated, threatened along with members of his family, and even jailed." These days, if you're Palestinian and you've written something online that the Israelis don't like, you're likely to end up getting arrested and charged with "incitement". The Israeli government says Palestinians use social media to incite violence against Israelis. But many of those charged are simply guilty of criticising Israel and its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. While the Listening Post's Tariq Nafi was in Palestine, the well-known writer Lama Khater, as well as six other journalists, became the latest victims of incitement charges. What we had not anticipated was just how controlled Palestinian speech is by their own authorities. Much like their Israeli counterparts, the Palestinian Authority security forces have also used incitement as a means to silence dissent. Just a few years ago, it was not uncommon to hear stories about journalists being arrested by Palestinian security officers who did not know the difference between a Facebook "post" and a "tag". Not any more. "There's been a marked evolution, they [the Palestinian Authority] now have special units dedicated to social media ... as a result, the fight over civil liberties has become much harder," according to Naela Khalil, bureau chief for Al Araby Al Jadeed. "Why harder? Because the entire social media output of journalists is now monitored." Armed with a restrictive Cybercrimes Law that was passed by presidential decree in 2017, the Palestinian Authority, the PA, can now target anyone expressing opposition online. Journalists are regularly summoned by the Palestinian Preventive Security for posts they write on Facebook. Sometimes they are shown the entire contents of their private messages, adding to the fear that social media is no longer a safe space. "There is now total awareness among a lot of journalists that social media platforms are no longer secure, and that internet service providers can no longer be trusted," says Khalil. "You feel as if we've somehow become like that TV programme, Big Brother. Everyone is watching you. Israel is watching you, the PA is watching you and you're the journalist, the one who's meant to be uncovering the story as it is."

🇨🇳 Bowing to Beijing? Google's Project Dragonfly | The Listening Post (Full) by Al Jazeera English On The Listening Post this week: Google’s planned Chinese search app comes under fire – not least from its own staff. Plus, surveillance and censorship in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Bowing to Beijing? Google's Project Dragonfly A few weeks back, we learned Google was working on something called ‘Project Dragonfly’, a new search engine for the Chinese market – one that would function in compliance with Beijing’s strict rules on censorship. In an organisation that talks up transparency - it is ironic that only a handful of the company's employees knew about the project. When some of them caught wind of it - they leaked the details to an online news site, The Intercept. Google has ventured into China before, in 2010. But back then it decided it couldn’t live with the censorship rules. So it pulled out. This potential re-entry into China signals a major policy u-turn, involving one the biggest tech companies on the planet and the world’s largest market. Contributors Ryan Gallagher - Investigative Journalist, The Intercept Yuan Yang - Beijing Economy and Tech Correspondent, Financial Times Siva Vaidhyanathan - Professor of Modern Media Studies, University of Virginia Ann Lee - Economist, New York University On our radar Richard Gizbert speaks to producer Johanna Hoes about an informative CNN report covering aspects of the war in Yemen that don’t usually get much attention from the media. Censored and Surveilled: The Digital Occupation of Palestinians Palestinian journalists and activists are faced with two inescapable realities: surveillance and censorship. Since 2015, the authorities in Israel have arrested an estimated one thousand Palestinians for content published or shared online and the state has also taken down hundreds of Palestinian social media accounts - developing algorithms and a “predictive policing” program that monitors Palestinians in anticipation of them committing a ‘crime’. But Palestinians also have to contend with their own authorities, the Palestinian Authority on the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza, neither of which is known for tolerating dissent or criticism online. The Listening Post's Tariq Nafi reports from the Occupied West Bank.
