New Sanctions To Target Syrian and Iranian Tech Capacity

Posted by samzenpus on from the shut-it-down dept.

vivIsel writes "This morning, President Obama is set to unveil a new executive order that will allow the U.S. to specifically target sanctions against individuals, companies or countries who use technology to enable human rights abuse. Especially as repressive regimes more effectively monitor their dissidents online (rather than simply blocking access), the sanctions focus on companies that help them do that."

    occupied Palestinian territories (oPt).

    You down with oPt? YA YOU KNOW ME! Who's down with oPt? EVERY LAST LADY!

    Seriously though, fuck anyone who thinks Palestine is/was a country. Also fuck anyone who defend a group of nomads that have elected a well known international terrorist organization as their "government".

    For the record, Judea actually was a country, on maps. The Jews established and ruled over Judea. The Romans killing and enslavement of the Jews paved the road for another never-was-a-country: Persia.

    In summary: fuck "palestinians", fuck "persians", and fuck everyone else that beats around the "Israel is illegitimate" bush.
