Student group accuses global networking site of failing to respond to court order to hand over data to help identify authors of anti-Semitic tweets
ynet
A Jewish student group has announced it was taking further legal action against Twitter over the global networking site’s failure to respond to a French court order to hand over data to help identify the authors of anti-Semitic tweets.
“Twitter is playing the indifference card in not respecting the decision of January 24,” when a Paris civil court gave the company two weeks to hand over the requested information, said Jonathan Hayoun, president of France’s Union of Jewish Students (UEJF), on Wednesday.
“In protecting the anonymity of the author of these tweets it is making itself an accomplice and offering a highway for racists and anti-Semites,” he added.
The French Jewish students group said it was taking legal action against Twitter and its CEO Dick Costolo.
The association is claiming €38.5 million ($50 million) in damages which they would hand over to the Shoah Memorial fund, according to the text of the summons for Twitter to appear before the civil court’s criminal division.
UEJF lawyer Stephane Lilti said the group had filed the summons on Wednesday.
Questioned by AFP, Twitter said it was in discussions with the Jewish student group but that “unfortunately they are more interested in these grand gestures than in finding an adequate international procedure to obtain the requested information.”
“We will appeal tomorrow (Thursday)” to the French court, Twitter said in reference to the January 24 decision.
It added that the French court had only notified it of the earlier ruling “a few days ago.”
On Sunday, French President Hollande called for the names of the authors of the anti-Semitic tweets to be released, in line with the court’s decision.
The union had been pressing Twitter to exercise tighter control of what appeared on its Internet site following a deluge of anti-Semitic messages posted under the hashtag #unbonjuif (#agoodjew).
Twitter later removed some of the offending tweets.
Last October, Twitter suspended the account of a neo-Nazi group in Germany following a request from the government in Berlin.
That was the first time that the US firm had applied a policy known as “country-withheld content”, which allows it to block an account at the request of state authorities.

Twitter sued for $50 million for not naming authors of anti-Semitic tweets
French student union criticizes Twitter as being indifference to racist and hateful speech toward Jews; American company argues it adheres to U.S. laws, but judge says comments by French users are subject to local, stricter legislation.
Haaretz
The Union of Jewish French Students sued Twitter for about $50 million for failing to honor a court ruling to identify users who posted anti-Semitic hate speech.
The union, or UEJF, filed the lawsuit on Wednesday with a Paris correctional tribunal, according to the French news agency AFP.
UEJF President Jonathan Hayoun said his organization filed the lawsuit because the California-based website has “ignored” a civil court ruling from January 24 that Twitter must identify people who broke France’s laws against hate speech. The ruling came following an earlier UEJF lawsuit.
As an American company, Twitter argued in court that it adheres to U.S. laws and is protected by the First Amendment and its broad free speech liberties. But the French judge said that comments by Internet users in France are subject to France’s stricter legislation against racist and hateful expression.
“Twitter is playing the indifference card and does not respect the ruling,” Hayoun told AFP on Wednesday. “They have resolved to protect the anonymity of the authors of these tweets and have made themselves accomplices to racists and anti-Semites.”
UEJF sued Twitter last year shortly after the hashtag “unBonJuif,” French for “aGoodJew,” became the third most popular on French Twitter. A hashtag is a phrase that when preceded by the symbol # is used to index relevant tweets.
Many users posted Holocaust jokes and calls to kill Jews under #UnBoJuif.
UEJF said it wants to deposit any damages from a Twitter suit with an organization working to preserve the memory of the Holocaust, AFP reported.

Hey counterfeit ‘Jews’; NEWSFLASH: New Study Reveals Most ‘Jewish’ People are Khazars and not semitic. How many times must this be repeated??? It seems Author Koestler wrote a book called ‘The Thirteenth Tribe’ over thirty years ago. Then the Professor of History at University of Tel Aviv; Shlomo Sand wrote a book ‘The Invention of the Jewish People’ just a couple of years ago. You really ought to get yourselves out of that crippling state of DENIAL and stop your insolent whining. The world is moving on without you and your lies.

They better be careful in wanting the names of those who committed the Ultimate Crime Of Free Speech. (Translation – Saying BOO! To the Jews.) They just might find out it is there own fellow tribesmen! LOL! NOW THAT WOULD REALLY BE A HOOT!

Jewry wants to control every one else while commiting crime every where in the world as you can see from the following”
How many little kids have been destroyed by these cruel criminals in Palestine?
They are murdering adults and kids in Pakistan and other Muslim countries as well as in India in addition to causing a lot of other crimes.
Dr Mercola has written about the suicide of Indian farmers and destruction of Indian farm land by Monsanto which Organized Jewry owns, on his website:Mercola.com, where there is also availability of herbal supplements from the company “Organic India”, sales of which provide income to these poor farmers and their families.
Mercola.com website focuses on natural healing where there are hundreds of articles and videos that address all different health topics, which you may find very useful, just like Real Jew News which being the #1 site for information about the evil of all evils namely, the Jewry crime syndicate, Ugly Truth being #2.
Jewry also has infiltrated into India, which they have made a fertile ground for murder, bombing, rape, pornography and other modes of violence.
Jewry does the bombings and other crimes, and then implicate innocent citizens for their crimes.
These are the citizens who are courageous, and could pose a threat to Jewry’s activities either by talking about corruption of their political leaders who have allowed Jewry to extend their tentacles into the Indian society or even confronting Indian and international Jews about their crimes in India.
Recently actor Sanjay Dutt (son of legendary actors Sunil and Nargis Dutt) has been sentenced to jail for 5 years, for the alleged Mumbai bombing in 1993. This is very suspicious.
It sounds to me like Jewry is planning for more bombings in Mumbai while also sending a message to Bollywood stars and other influential citizens in order to silence them against any criticism of Jewry’s activities whether this be in India or neighboring Pakistan, where Israeli-made drones are flying in the skies, killing hundreds of people and destroying their infrastructure.
I tried to inform them (India) about these criminals by posting this video from Brother Nathanael’s Real Jew News at Bollywoodlife.com, (and also requesting that they read other articles on this site, as well as read the comment section of his most recent article/video about Jewish attempt for gun control), but I was not able to do it, meaning it did not go through despite trying 3 times, probably due to the meddling of Jewry, who spy on everything I do.
If they (Jewry) have not done these atrocious crimes in India and/or don’t have plans to continue their crimes in India they have nothing to worry about what I write and post.
I please ask anyone to try and post all of my comments in this section or any other section at the Ugly Truth site or at Real Jew News website at Bollywoodlife.com, or Times of India or in any other website owned by someone in Pakistan if it is at all possible, because we have a responsibility to inform people in India and Pakistan what we know, and what we are suspicious of when it comes to crime and corruption of Jewry.
At Real Jew News it is very easy for them to get to know the entire truth by reading one article after another which are all about Jewry crimes. Ugly Truth gives information about many crimes in the Middle East by the same criminal tribe we know as organized Jewry.
This may even free Sanjay Dutt who seems to be a victim in this particular case. I do not believe Sanjay Dutt had anything to do with any of the bombings in India.
It is also important for Dilip Kumar to know what is taking place there as well as to get to know who is responsible for calling him a “Pakistan spy”, which he is not. Jewry is creating trouble for Dilip Kumar because he was trying to bring peace between India and Pakistan and that he is Muslim. Please go to Real Jew News and read the articles and see the videos to fully understand the Jewry problem America and the the entire world face. These explosions in Pakistan, that Press TV just reported are Jewry’s works who control the world through the money system. These are the criminals who are going after innocent Muslims..

Meet the Whinebergs, a group of Fifth Column con-artists who represent the most racist, anti-Semitic psycho-killers in the history of Humanity. If these perpetually whining liars win the lawsuit against Twitter they should, in good conscience, actually donate the money to the museum that I am opening – “The Christian-Muslim Holocaust Museum and Memorial” dedicated to the very somber remembrance of the 55 million orthodox Russian Christians murdered by the Godless Jewish Bolsheviks; the 2 million Armenian Christians slaughtered under the direction and supervision of the Donmeh Jews of the Salonika Committee (see the excellent history by Christopher Jon Bjerknes, “The Jewish Genocide of Armenian Christians”); and the millions of Iraqis, Lebanese, Palestinians, and Iranians slaughtered over the last 93 years since the time these highly deluded and mentally ill people began arriving in PALESTINE from Europe. No one, and I mean no one can even come close to competing with the descendants of the Khazars for mass murder.
For anyone who has seriously studied the history of Germany after the publication of Karl Marx’s “Communist Manifesto” in 1848, it is plain as day that these perpetual traitors had been waging multiple revolutions and acts of sedition against the German state and its citizens since the very month of Marx’s initial publication. Hitler, who freed his nation, post-Weimar, from the infernal usury and plotting of a small minority of wealthy and influential seditionists, is now demonized by these same pathological liars and con-artists for having the patriotic balls to round up these enemies of EVERY STATE in order to save his country and his people from their genocidal clutches. And Hitler was a total pussy! He put them in LABOR CAMPS with cantinas, theatres, swimming pools, art studios, and soccer fields. He even gave them administrative control over the beautiful walled town of Theresienstadt. For those who have read even the first volume of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s “Gulag Archipelago,” the allied-supported DEATH CAMPS of Stalin had no such accommodating luxuries. And these ungrateful dogs whine, “The soccer fields were not large enough and the camp’s cantina ran out of my favorite cigarettes. The Nazis are so oppressive. Boo fucking Hoo.” They should save their tears for the very future when Russian, Chinese, and Iranian missiles under the guidance of God Himself will level every major Israeli city, as in “not one single stone will remain standing,” and the world will party like it’s 2013!
Perhaps we should sue this little French student group to reveal all the names of the Irgun and Stern Gang terror groups in Palestine who cold bloodedly murdered British soldiers in the 1940s as young Brits gave their lives in WWII. The “Jewish Century,” as they like to call it, began in 1913, and by 2014 it will be over for good.

Would these authors be considered anti-semitic by the French Jewish students?
GEORGE WASHINGTON, They (the Jews) work more effectively against us, than the enemy’s armies. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties and the great cause we are engaged in … It is much to be lamented that each state, long ago, has not hunted them down as pests to society and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America.
Back To Top
THOMAS JEFFERSON Dispersed as the Jews are, they are still from one nation, foreign to the land they live in.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and impenetration. That menace, gentlemen, is the Jews. In whatever country Jews have settled in any great number, they have lowered its moral tone; depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not been assimilated; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which that nation is founded, by objecting to its restrictions; have built up a state within the state; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal. For over 1,700 years, the Jews have been bewailing their sad fate in that they have been exiled from their homeland, as they call Palestine. But, gentlemen, did the world give it to them in fee simple, they would at once find some reason for not returning. Why? Because they are vampires, and vampires do not live on vampires. They cannot live only among themselves. They must subsist on Christians and other peoples not of their race.
If you do not exclude them from these United States, in this Constitution, in less than 200 years they will have swarmed here in such great numbers that they will dominate and devour the land and change our form of government, for which we Americans have shed our blood, given our lives, our substance and jeopardized our liberty.
If you do not exclude them, in less than 200 years our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish them substance, while they will be in the counting houses rubbing their hands. I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude Jews for all time, your children will curse you in your graves. Jews, gentlemen, are Asiatics, let them be born where they will or how many generations they are away from Asia, they will never be otherwise. Their ideas do not conform to an American’s, and will not even though they live among us ten generations. A leopard cannot change its spots. Jews are Asiatics, are a menace to this country if permitted entrance, and should be excluded by this Constitutional Convention.
