Complaint filed against Dutch group for ‘Jews control Internet’ article

Two Dutch anti-racism groups filed a criminal complaint against a pro-Palestinian organization that featured a conspiracy theory about Jewish control of the Internet on its website

The complaint was filed with Dutch police on February 7 against Stop the Occupation, an organization run by the pro-Palestinian activist Gretta Duisenberg, widow of the first president of the European Central Bank.

It concerned the publication three months ago on the group’s website of an English-language article titled “The Jewish hand behind Internet, Google, Facebook, Wikipedia, Yahoo!, MySpace, eBay.”

The Center for Information and Documentation on Israel, or CIDI, called the text “offensive to Jews” and filed the complaint along with the Dutch Complaints Bureau for Discrimination on the Internet, or MDI.

They left out the http:// part, starting the address with www. instead. What this does is make the JTA website read the link as if it were on JTA itself, sending you to a JTA page titled "www. stopdebezetting.com" - which doesn't exist, resulting in an error. The targetthey want is, well, http://www.stopdebezetting.com

This confirms two things.

1) Jews don't control the Internet.
and
2) dutch is the goofiest language on the planet.
