Free country - correct.
Free internet - to an extent.

Seen it all before

are they?

i have found it is always the questions that question the actions of hamas and other islamic terrorists that get the reporters and deniers going

odd you should see some things so differently.....i am neither a muslim or jew so do not have an axe to grind but i know where the bias and ranting is most likely to occur

nip down to the israeli travel section and see the answers from hamas supporters and haters of jews...hardly fair or reasonable or legible in many cases....

your question seems to be a tad biased....and in my experience is not true....look at the number of resolved questions on the subject to see that many are not removed...maybe just the racist or ranting......

Are you suggesting that Israel monitors this forum?

That's silly.

Your question is baseless.

You are FREE to rant all you want.

Others are FREE to report your rants.

That's life in the FREE world.

gimme a break Haifa.
Israel is the ONLY country in the middle east with freedom of speech.

How about directing your comments at one of the many backwards muslim countries?

and the internet has nothing to do with a countries views of policies. Don't you know anything?

Those participants who criticize the Palestinians are equally reported. You might get reported more than most because your questions and answers don't come from your intellect but rather emanate from your biased opinions and emotions.

The reason these are reported is that they are COMMENTS. It is a violation of the rules if you are commenting on Israel, the NY Yankees, or Elmo from Sesame Street. YA is not a forum or chat room, so COMMENTS are always a violation. You either ask a question (with no comments or speech) or you provide a factual answer (with no comments or speech).

answer: What country are you in? Why do you assume that you have free speech on the internet in a private forum when you signed onto rules that clearly state you don't have freedom of speech?

You're in a forum, there is not guarantee of Freedom of Speech. Why do you assume everyone is in the US? That's a little arrogant.

You think your rants were deleted unjustly, appeal.

Man

What exactly are you alluding to?

We all know that the pro-Palestinians control this section.

Why do you think you see so many outrageous insults to Jews, Hitler-era rhetoric, stereotypes worthy of Der Sturmer, Holocaust glee and racial slurs, that go completely unreported?

Tell me, where is the racism here more concentrated, your side or mine?

If I talked that way about Muslims, my account would get terminated.

I might add that this is a privately owned site where freedom of speech doesn't really apply, and everyone here agreed to the censorship when they checked the box that said they had read and agreed to the Terms of Service and the bogus Community Guidelines. Believe me, with the number of times I and many others were harassed with public posts and hate mail and absolutely nothing was done about it, I even thought of raising charges but saw how ludicrous the idea was.

no no no that's where you are WRONG!!

Stop with this whole "freedom of speech" BS!!

BOO HOO!!!

IT'S MORE LIKE FREEDOM OF HATRED!!! (which Israel does NOT support at all!!)

It's Yahoo Answers that is deleting questions against Israel not the Israeli government. Yahoo answers enforces their own community guidelines that you agreed to when you click I Accept Those Terms and Agreements that permits them to use censorship. Israel however does have many organizations and media critical of the government. One example is that there is an Israeli organization called B'Tselem frequently criticizes the Israeli government about issues with the Palestinians without any interference. http://www.freedomhouse.org/template.cfm?page=251&year=2008

So you think it's the country not the people.
We, you and I are from one country, and I don't agree with ANYTHING you write.

If you want people to agree with you go post in the Ramadan site.

You never lived in a DEMOCRACY, so how would you know what it is all about.

Israel encourages freedom of speech, unless it is about the truth.
