Fadel Shana: Silencing the message
by slaughtering the messenger.
"It is clear to me that we need a thorough and immediate investigation by the israeli defense forces as to what happened. this is a tragic incident that really shows the risk that journalists take everyday around the world. But all organizations, governments included have an obligation to let their professionals do their job without fear of death."

David Schlesinger did not show any emotion, any outrage, he said he wanted the killers to do the investigation. He also attempted to downplay the atrocity of the crime when he said that "the risk that journalists take everyday around the world". I doubt very much that journalists holding video cameras in their hand and with a clearly marked vehicle with 'TV' written on its are killed via air strikes 'around the world'.
The reason for this post is to alert everyone know that YouTube is about to take a video down that captures the first few minutes of choas after 'The Chosen' slaughtered Shana and two others and wounded many by launching an air strike attack on a defenseless cameraman. I have gotten to know the way YouTube operats when they are about to censor a video. They do it in steps. First they would be looking for all kinds of silly excuses. When they can't find a good excuse to delete a video, they just make up one. in this case, they are asking everyone who wants to watch this video to:
This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube's user community.
By clicking "Confirm", you are agreeing that all videos or groups flagged by the YouTube community will be viewable by this account.
In the following YouTube message, they make it still harder to view the video, it is no more just click 'confirm', but one is required to 'sign in' or 'sign up'. This message is even new to me. They must be working hard to find ways to censor. They hope that most people won't bother to 'sign in' or 'sign up', therefore, YouTube and members of a certain Tribe that YouTube cares the most about can claim they never censored, they just asked people to 'sing in' or 'sign up'.
This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube's user community.
To view this video or group, please verify you are 18 or older by signing in or signing up.
I also noticed that "verify_age" is now part of the YouTube links that are targetted for censorship, for no valid reason. Considering how much filth, blood and gore the young kids are subjected to on TV, this warning sounds absurd.
The question that begs to be asked is which 'YouTube's User Community'? It is not hard to figure out. In some parts of the world, they are known as the 'crying babies'. It is more than apparant what is going on here. Members of this well-orgaqnized and well-connected Tribe have agitated in unison, as they always do. I have seen the same message appear just before YouTube takes a video down, for no other reason than to appease the members of this Tribe.
That is why I posted a message recently letting everyone know how to download videos. I already suspected that this video would not last long and I did in fact downloaded it when it first appeared. It is a tough battle that we are going through with these restless people who won't quit unless they get their way, and sure enough as always they will get their way and this video will disappear.
