Malaysia Blocking Websites Based On Political Content

An anonymous reader writes: A few days ago Slashdot carried a piece of news from Malaysia whereby [news] websites based in Malaysia must be registered. Now comes the news that Malaysia is actively blocking websites which carry political opinion contrary to those of the ruling elite. Granted, Malaysia is no US of A nor Europe, but the world must understand that Malaysia is the only country in the world where racial apartheid laws are still being actively practiced — and have received endorsement from the ruling elite which has controlled Malaysia for the past 58 years. (Wikipedia lists some other candidates for modern-day apartheid in its entry on Contemporary segregation.)

    Don't be such a anti-semite. Going against the state sanctioned narrative supporting Israel and the white genocide will only get moded down.

    You were very wise to post anonymously.

    There may have been black doctors, politicians et al living in 1950s segregated America but anyone that would claim blacks weren't heavily discriminated against because the US Constitution supposedly protected them is living in an alternative universe. Claiming there is no institutionalized discrimination in Israel is even more absurd. It's blatantly obvious that many Jews in Israel have been extreme nationalists that are engaged in a slow pogrom to not only eject non-Jews but to continue to expand Israel's borders.

    That said, there is certainly racism in Palestine too and that shouldn't be swept under the carpet nor should the double standards in much of the Arab world that obsess on Israel.. .then don't look at how they treat non-Muslims in their own countries. In Saudi Arabia, allegedly our allies against Islamofascists like Isis and Al Qaeda, they still behead people for apostasy and homosexuality. The government there make Israel's inhumane treatment of Palestinians look like a human rights.

    Arabs in the government ? I think Lieberman would be the most virulent opponent to that notion (with Netanyahu and Naftali Benett among many others). Ayoob Kara is an Arab, yes, but check his alliances...

    Israelis Jews don't like Arabs in general. Just go in Israel, you'll witness it first hand. If you think USA in the 50's were bad, Israel is a whole another crap hole...

    Israel is de facto an apartheid nation (remember that Israel was the last entity working with South Africa when apartheid was in place ?).
    A israeli jew, by law (you know about the Torah right ?) cannot sell its property to an non-jew (arab or otherwise), chekpoints for arabs, house destructions, land stealings, separate transportation for each "race", constant humiliation etc.

    And the most important thing : the whole state of Israel has been taken by force in 1948 !

    Why would you defend such a country ?

    A for the comparison between Jordan and Israel ? Are you kidding ? Nobody care about Jordan (Sorry jordanians, I don't intend it to be insulting). Jordan doesn't receive billions from the US for its defense (though it receives money from the US to sustain its economy). The king of Jordan don't go to the US congress to insult the president in place. There's no AIPAC equivalent for Jordan, etc.
