No Porn in Gaza

Mon, May 19, 2008 at 11:08:39 am PDT

If anything will get the people (read: the men) of Gaza to turn against Hamas, this might be it: Hamas bans pornographic websites in Gaza Strip.

GAZA (Reuters) - Islamist group Hamas has told the main Palestinian telecoms company to block access to pornographic Internet sites in the Gaza Strip, a Hamas government official said on Monday.

It's nigh on impossible to actually successfully block all porn sites.

So, all the other problems in Gaza have been resolved, that we're now down to eliminating smut?

Funny. Very funny. I guess Hamas has solved the infrastructure problems - no more sewage in the streets. Power that is uninterrrupted by terrorist attacks on fuel depots?

They're throwing all their energies in to getting rid of pron in Gaza. But the jihadi glorification videos are widely available.

Somehow "No porn without representation" doesn't have quite the ring as a good slogan for a nascent political movement. "Porn for all" perhaps. But I don't think many men will willingly come forward to admit their use.

From the article:

Attacks against video stores and Internet cafes have increased over the past two years. Some of the attacks had been claimed by radical Muslim groups who say such places run contrary to Islamic values.

Other Muslim countries such as Iran, Syria, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia also control access to some political, social and pornographic websites.

Key word: Control access

Isn't the Middle East the highest trafficker of gay porn? I have read that somewhere.

For all the macho posturing I found Arab males to be remarkably feminine in their actual behavior. They routinely kiss on greeting. They hold hands much more than any western society male would consider comfortable. There is strong innuendo of acceptable homosexuality before marriage. The society does everything possible to prevent normal relations with females especially during adolescents and young adulthood.

I do believe their proportion of homosexuals would be statistically equivalent to a global proportion but their cultural conditions trend to feminine behaviour.

Just going to guess here: Hamas is blocking porn sites because the vast majority of the equipment involved has been altered in a significant way that makes Islam look not very enticing to young males.

To whit: There are far too many circumcised penises having most of the fun out there and if you are a young Muslim male, you're going to notice that.

Yeah, riiiight. There was a Dilbert comic that addressed this topic. Dilbert designed a nanny filter to block naughty content and boasted about it to Dogbert. Of course, Dogbert mocked him by asking Dilbert if he thought his technological solution was stronger than the combined force of millions of teenage males' hormones. Talk about making a rock so big that nobody can lift it, and then trying to lift it yourself. Sucks for the women in Gaza now...oh wait...it will just suck *worse*. Oh well. Maybe blueballs will make the terrorists ERRRRR insurgents AAAAAH resistance fighters easier for the IDF to spot. And won't they splatter nicely when the IDF shoots them. *out*

Given what has been written and alledged about Arafat's proclivities, one would hope this would include gay porn sites.

After all, if there are increased incidents of H.I.V. transmission Israel's "Peace Partner" Abbas will put the arm on the U.S. government for U.S. taxpayers to foot the bill for medical care and drugs.

Anything for "peace".

Paraphrased from a T.V. show:

If you were to take all the porn off of the internet, there would only be one website left. It would only have one statement, in big, flashing red letters: PLEASE BRING BACK THE PORN!

Think there has been a mistranslation...they're banning "Poon," not porn. Which in the case of the Hami-Pali's could be a good thing.

117 itellu3times  Mon, May 19, 2008 1:50:39pm

But this is Hamas banning porn, just have to get it at the social services desk of Hizbullah instead. Is that wise?

**sad music**

There is a part of the world that is bereft of joy.
Look into the blank looks on these children's faces.
That empty stare that you see is the lack of porn.
For just 69 cents a day you can bring happiness back into a young Gazans life.
Please donate to the Porn for peace fund. You contribution of old magazines can go to those that have none.

Please give.

They shouldn't have called it the Gaza Strip then!

re: #76 experiencedtraveller

For all the macho posturing I found Arab males to be remarkably feminine in their actual behavior. They routinely kiss on greeting. They hold hands much more than any western society male would consider comfortable. There is strong innuendo of acceptable homosexuality before marriage. The society does everything possible to prevent normal relations with females especially during adolescents and young adulthood.

I do believe their proportion of homosexuals would be statistically equivalent to a global proportion but their cultural conditions trend to feminine behaviour.

/This is an opinion formed by observation only. Somebody may have relevant studies/statistics. Zombie?

Well the kissing thing is probably more European and Middle Eastern. Chatting about this with my friends the other day, I realized that all the men in my family kissed each other's cheeks upon greeting and the females in my family kiss on the lips. (aunts, uncles, cousins) I'm just a white Jewish gal, 2nd generation born in the states. So for me, I wouldn't really call that feminine behavior, quite normal amongst the manly men in my famly (you know, as opposed to the girly men hehe).

And ironically enough, the Europeans are not anywhere near as hung up on sex as we are in the States and they kiss all over the place.

But I agree with you otherwise :)

OK, here goes nothing: The Founding Persons did not write the First Amendment for the explicit purpose of protecting pornography. Rather, the First Amendment was written primarily to protect political expression and religious belief. The "ACLU" view that the First Amendment protects everything is a modern misinterpretation and misrepresentation of historical events.

Jocelyn Elders might have hit the nail on the head.

Ouch! What an image!

First Farfour the Disney terrorist, and then parades with kids wrapped in dynamite, but this time they have gone too far!

It is a good point, however, that a young man deprived of regular orgasms is more likely to want to kill Jews. It's a proven fact.

re: #122 Timbre

The founders were interested in porn, so even if they didn't say explicitly they had porn in mind, its protection may have been one of their objectives. Nevertheless, free speech is an experiment about people, and the widespread (sorry) use of porn could have secondary effects on people's creativity or openness to new ideas. They were also influenced by the Enlightenment and its ideas, one of which was the separation from the church. If we continue religious prohibitions, I believe we are in opposition to one of the original intents of the founders.

If Allah didn't want porn on the internet he would just will it to vanish.

Allah don't need no stinking internut filters.

I could't get this song out of my head as soon as I saw this thread.

It's a parody of an old school Beastie Boys song; "No Sleep 'til Brooklyn"

No Porn in Gaza! (guitar riffs) No Porn in Gaza!

They had to put a stop to it. The goats and camels appearing in the centerfolds were just getting too vain, and were becoming drama queens.

Maybe of those guys would masturbate once in a while they would calm down a bit and stop blowing up pizza parlours and buses.

I don't who Jocelym Elders is, but I've been saying this for years and have posted this solution often of LGF. Innundate Islam with porn: websites, magazines, picture postcards, just dump a billion photos from a plane. These Johadi assholes would be so busy beating their meat, they would have time to beat their wives (if they had one) and they's come to realize that blowing themselves feels better than blowing up others.

Israel should set up a porn TV station that braodcast all over the middle east. One they can't block. The arabs can show Mickey Jihad and primetime soaps about the Protocols of The Elders of Zion, then let Israel broadcast 24-hour porn in arabic. (just add sub-titles)

Too many typos. Should preview post before posting.

1. Please quote me your historical sources--primary would be best--that "the founders were interested in porn."

2. Please explain how you pull this rabbit out of your hat: "its protection may have been one of their objectives." Yes, and their protecting the recipe of my great-great-great-great grannie's waffles MAY have been their motivation for writing the Preamble!

re: #133 Timbre

Timbre, we know from their own writings that Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were users of porn, although Madison and Adams were clearly not. So it was a mixed bag, but I hope you don't think that these were pious people. In a lot of ways Americans today are more religion-crazy than they were in the 18th century. Rousseau's influence was strong, especially among the educated folks. While the eleventh amendment was never passed (the protection of lap dancers from unreasonable searches), its spirit is still alive in the land (or at least the sand around Las Vegas).
