as evidence of the risk that a site might be shut down for "hatespeech." The site in question is globalresearch.ca and the posts had to do with Zionist/Israeli involvement in 9/11 and the Holocaust. (Surprise, surprise.) The complainant was a representative of B'nai Brith Canada. (My goodness, I'm shocked.) Here is the newspaper article, cited by Mark Rabinowitz's site

U of O professor accused of hosting anti-Semitic website
Group files complaint over 'wild theories' that blame Jews for 9/11

A Jewish group has filed a complaint to the University of Ottawa against one of its professors after the discovery of content on his website that blames Jews for the terrorist attacks on the United States, and claims the numbers who died at Auschwitz are exaggerated.

The website, www.globalresearch.ca, also reprints articles from other writers that accuse Jews of controlling the U.S. media and masterminding the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Other postings suggest Israel, the U.S. and Britain are the real perpetrators of the recent attacks on London.

Take a minute to read the whole article.

This is amazingly weak. (Yes, I continue to feel inadequately cynical to respond to the events at 911blogger.) The site was shut down by the host. This should be a contractual issue -- there is no reason for a site like 911blogger to be dealing with a host that does not permit ANY legal content, regardless of political flavor. (And I believe free speech is still nominally legal here in the US.)

Essentially, Reprehensor has just stepped forward and said, "Yes, what you suspected is true. We thought we could run off people inquiring into the role of Zionists, dual citizens, the Mossad, and Larry Silverstein just by brandishing our big Anti-Semitism stick, but that didn't seem to be working. So now we'll just cop to it and yank the rug out from under your feet."

Incidentally, Rabinowitz's oilempire site is chock full of railing against all the terrible disinfo agents in the 9/11 Truth Movement -- including people who don't believe a commercial jet hit the Pentagon and people who take controlled demolition too seriously. (It's just a theory -- let's stick to what we can prove! Like the wire transfer!) Rabinowitz himself disrupted David Ray Griffin's Portland appearance in May, coming up to me and a colleague to indignantly demand that we make Griffin stop talking about faked phone calls from the plane because "It's just a fact that those phone calls happened" and to say otherwise is offensive to the "families." Eventually my colleague had to take him outside into the hall just to quiet him down. Prior to the event, he had asked for time to "rebut" Griffin's presentation. Yeah, right...
