Censored again - this time by Israel Insider

Well, after posting the previous blog entry on the site "Israel Insider", I received an email from the web administrator there. It reads as follows:

From Israel Insider to You

I would have done so myself.

Don't you realize that this would "put ideas in the heads" of our enemies?

What do you think was accomplished by advertising an "Achilles heel" that would get our many enemies busy 24/7 complaining to Google about this or that, or even publishing their own provocations which they would then site as proof as us advocating against someone?

Think before you spill.

Shabbat shalom.

Sorry Reuven,

Living in the land where freedom of speech is the G-d given right we are blessed with, I am not accustomed to having speech governed by what can only be compared to living in the old Soviet eastern bloc.

I don't know nor do I wish to know what evil idea lurks in the minds of enemies. I do know however that the idea of kowtowing before them, curtailing ones every thought and expression out of fear of them, is a sure sign of their victory.

I must say, it doesn't matter what sorts of upgrades you might make for security. You are already infiltrated and defeated by your enemy through the curtailing of the free expression of thought of the righteous.

To give a search engine power over the content of your website is like getting paid by the Politburo to spread only propaganda that meets their approval.

I say to you what I say to Israel. If you don't stand up to your enemies and fight for your right to live and breathe, they will stand over you.

I'm happy to say that I will gladly die before I ever get accustomed to bowing before evil, but sorry to say that because of that, I must delete my profile on Israel Insider.

Yours in Truth,

Octaman

...and so I did delete my profile on that website, with some relief. I'm on enough web pages as it is. It was nice to have my article read by some people who appreciated it, but at what price?
