It is common knowledge that sites such as Twitter and Facebook have a blatant double standard: they censor anti-Palestinian comments while they give a wide platform to anti-Israel and anti-Jewish ones.
Some time ago an Israeli NGO conducted THE FACEBOOK EXPERIMENT. It opened two new separate pages on Facebook, one anti-Israel and the other anti-Palestinian. They used exactly the same hateful language, except that they referred to either Jews or Arabs. Facebook rushed to censor the anti-Palestinian site, while they let the anti-Israeli one stand because it did not violate community standards. The Facebook Experiment is exposed on this VIDEO:
The same double standard exists on mainstream media, particularly on the BBC, CNN, and other similar news websites. Typically they headline the death of Palestinians, and only as an afterthought - if at all - the fact that they were killed in the act of slaughtering Jews. Here is a recent example:
BBC DENOUNCED: Former BBC chairman Lord Michael Grade exposes BBC’s coverage of Israel, and anti-Israel terror as ‘inexcusable’, saying, “When Israel acts in self-defense, the narrative is distorted to fit their (the media) narrative of Zionist aggression.” Read more:
TERRORISTS WELCOME - Britain has allowed in, and even given legal residency and citizenship to tens of thousands of jihadis who incite against Jews and against Britons themselves. However the British government bars entry to foreign moderate commentators who criticize Islamic terror. One of them is well-known radio host Michael Savage. Also banned from British soil are US anti-Sharia activist Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer.
PM Theresa May and previous governments have also condemned Muslim terror at home, but they donate millions to the Palestinian Authority, which uses that money to pay salaries to convicted murderers of Jewish men, women and children. If killed during their acts of terror, the terrorists' families receive generous salaries. Killing Jews, according to Theresa May and other donors such as the United States and EU countries, is not regarded as terror but as resistance.
The following article was posted by Edgar Davidson on his BLOG on July 5, 2017 - The website he refers to below, THIS ONGOING WAR, focuses on acts of terror in Israel, and uses moderate language. Visit this site and see for yourself. So, why would reporting on Palestinian terror be considered hate? Britain and others seem to think so.
Blog by parents of murdered Israeli teenager censored as 'hate site' in the UK
I have previously posted about how pro-Israel blogs in the UK (and elsewhere including even in Israel) are censored or blocked completely by internet service providers.
Continue reading and see list of recommended pro-Israel websites
After discovering that his own site was blocked by Sky-UK, Elder of Ziyon discovered that this was due to Symantec classifying his site as "Hate". He noted (as I had previously reported) that other pro-Israel sites such as Israellycool, Israel Matzav and Abu Yehuda all get the same "Hate" classification. Most internet service providers (including Sky, Virgin, and EE) use the Symantec classification and normally either block such sites or require 'parental unlocking' to view them.
Using the symantec link I checked a number of other pro-Israel sites (including this one http://edgar1981.blogspot.co.uk/) and found that they too were classified as "Hate". Included inevitably were pamelageller, jihadwatch and thereligionofpeace, as well as the outstanding sultanknish (by author Daniel Greenfield).
But what shocked me was that the "Hate" classification was also assigned to This Ongoing War.
For the record it is also worth noting that most of the sites will not be blocked outside of the UK because the classification changes when the "uk" suffix is changed to another country. For example the Israel version of this site http://edgar1981.blogspot.co.il/ is classified as "Dynamic, Blogger, English".
UPDATE: Symantec have sent me all round the houses, first through a FaceBook messenger conversation when they finally said they were not qualified to help and told me to contact their regular support desk which has no email address. I called the UK number (which unlike the US one is not free) and was passed from person to person eventually being put through to the mobile number of someone who 'should be able to help'. No answer, left message, no response so far.

This is the moving blog dedicated to the memory of 15-year-old Malki Roth who was murdered in the 2001 Hamas massacre in Jerusalem’s Sbarro restaurant that was engineered by Ahlam Tamimi. Malki's parents Frima and Arnold have campaigned for Tamimi - who is on the FBI's most-wanted terrorist list - to be brought to justice (she is currently living in luxury, inciting more terrorism, under the protection of the Jordanian government who have refused a US extradition request).
While it is shameful that all of the above sites are classified as hate sites, it is especially pernicious in this case, as it demonstrates the extent to which the antisemites who masquerade as 'Palestine supporters' in the UK will go to prevent the truth being heard and justice being done.
Inevitably none of the anti-Israel sites, most of which are dripping with overt antisemitism, are classified as hate sites.

Also it seems Symantec have a long history with this sort of behaviour - they were doing the same thing to other types of sites that did not fit the politically correct (meaning extreme leftist) narrative.
