Ho appena contato i difensori del diritto di pubblicare caricature di
Maometto che hanno menzionato anche questi casi di censura.  Il
risultato e' circa zero.  Anzi, uno (me).

Boycott Call Creates Fracas at Davos Forum
By MARK LANDLER and JOHN MARKOFF
DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 26 - A magazine article calling on nations
to boycott Israel because of its treatment of Palestinians has provoked
a tempest at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting here, prompting
the organizers to pull the magazines from the forum's shelves here and
issue an apology.
The article, which appeared in Global Agenda, a magazine published by
the forum and distributed to participants, carried the headline
"Boycott Israel." The author, Mazin Qumsiyeh, equated Israel's policies
toward Palestinians with apartheid and said that countries should
withdraw their investments and boycott Israel.
After a member raised questions about the article, the organizers
removed the magazines from shelves at the conference center in this
Alpine resort. The forum's executive director, Klaus Schwab, said the
article should not have been published and had slipped through the
editing process.
"There was an unacceptable failure in the editorial process,
specifically an insufficiently short period for review of content, for
which there is no excuse," Mr. Schwab said in a statement. "The article
is totally in contradiction to my own, and the forum's, mission and
values."
The timing of the contretemps - on the day that Hamas won a landslide
victory in Palestinian elections - was not lost on people here. The
future of Israeli and Palestinian relations was high on the agenda on
Thursday at this meeting of about 2,300 political figures, private
groups and corporate executives.
The article on Israel had drawn no response until Wednesday, when an
American technology executive raised questions about its tone.
"I was shocked," said Rabbi Awraham S. Soetendorp, of the Jewish
Institute for Human Values in the Netherlands, who was attending the
forum. "The issue that Zionism was equated with racism was so
outrageous."
The publication of the article was a keen embarrassment for Mr. Schwab,
who prides himself on fostering dialogue in troubled parts of the
world.
Mr. Schwab had hoped to organize a panel discussion this year between
Israeli and Palestinian leaders. But the acting prime minister of
Israel, Ehud Olmert, and the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas,
declined invitations to come to Davos because of events at home.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke via satellite during a panel
here, reaffirming the position of the United States that Hamas must
renounce violence and recognize Israel's right to exist.
Mr. Qumsiyeh, the author of the article, is an American citizen of
Palestinian descent who frequently writes in support of Palestinian
causes. In a telephone interview from New Jersey, he said he had been
asked to submit the article by a staff writer at the magazine.
"Why is free speech not allowed?" said Mr. Qumsiyeh, a geneticist. He
said his article called for a nonviolent response to Israeli policy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasser_Amin
Nasser Amin is a 23 year old Muslim postgraduate Politics student at
the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London
who came to attention in March 2005 following the publication of his
article in the student magazine which controversially included a
defence of a Palestinian right to violent resistance against Israel. It
was written in response to an article in the previous edition by Hamza
Yusuf on the problems of Islamophobia and violence.
As a result of a pro-Zionist campaign initiated by activists on campus
and orchestrated by a large part of the print media, Amin was subjected
to a witch-hunt that was part of a wider strategy designed, it is has
been said, to suppress criticism of Israel at SOAS (echoing tactics
more clearly seen on American campuses). The student received death
threats on Zionist websites. His article was condemned in several
newspapers as anti-semitic and supportive of terrorism, see for example
The Times report here. However, Amin has always vehemently denied these
allegations. Daily Mail journalist Melanie Phillips called for his
arrest [1], Manchester University Professor Norman Geras expressed his
strong dislike of the article [2] and David Winnick MP requested in the
House of Commons that Amin be prosecuted [3]. However the legal threats
came to nothing since Amin had not breached any laws in his article.
Two months after the article's publication, he was publicly reprimanded
by the SOAS Director Colin Bundy for his article, despite no academic
in the Politics department believing that the student had done anything
wrong. Senior Politics academic Mark Laffey defended Amin by saying
""It is part of the job description of an academic institution that you
are willing to give offense. Our job is to seek out the truth, no
matter how uncomfortable or unpleasant for various groups or
interests."[4]
Amin claimed that SOAS's reprimand against him was unlawful since he
had been denied due process and the right to defend himself against the
charge. Moreover, he said that he had not been informed by the School
of the reprimand posted on the SOAS website. The Islamic Human Rights
Commission denounced the treatment of Amin by sections of the media and
SOAS, and they demanded the reprimand be retracted.[5] The Muslim
Public Affairs Committee UK launched its own campaign to support Amin.
[6] Amin's lawyers raised the possibilty of legal action against the
School should his name not be cleared.[7][8]

School should his name not be cleared.[7][8]
Ma la scuola molto probabilmente non ha violato nessuna legge :)

 pubblicati i propri articoli su giornali altrui.
Questo e' vero, ma sarebbe cmq.un caso di censura interna *dopo* la 
pubblicazione, a causa di pressioni esterne.
Bisogna distinguere satira e articolo, la prima necessariamente 
scherzosa, il secondo no.
Il materiale di un giornale puo' essere sgradito ma non deve essere 
razzista e discriminatorio.
E' possibile che anche la satira diventi razzista e discriminatoria? E' 
l'accusa che si fa al giornale danese, e cosi' lo potrebbe essere la 
promessa  satira sull'Olocausto.
 Ma in tal caso cesserebbe di essere satira, per diventare mera offesa, 
sotto il pretesto di uno scherzo.

Questo e' vero, ma sarebbe cmq.un caso di censura interna
Si chiamano *SCELTE EDITORIALI*, caro fesso mononeurone :)

Eh,ma le scelte editoriali si fanno senza interferenze dei governi, 
perche' vige la liberta' di stampa (limitata pero' dalla eventuale  
legge sulla  discriminazione razziale). E cosi'  per i divieti di 
pubblicazione ex-post, il ritirare le pubblicazioni, ecc.
O  questo non lo sapevi

Aspirante 
giornalista, vah!
Am.

il ritirare le pubblicazioni, ecc.
Cioe' se qualcuno sbaglia e pubblica qualcosa che non doveva essere
pubblicato e quindi le pubblicazioni sono ritirate per evitare un danno
di immagine (per non dire oltr) come questo dovrebbe indicare "censura"
invece che "scelte editoriali", caro *FESSO MONONEURONE*? :)

Secondo me il tuo iter di apprendista pubblicista/giornalista sara' lungo.
Da facocero belluino e selvaggio,complice il Regime Berlusconi, ti sei 
degradato a maiale semplice, la cui testa offri con una mela in bocca 
al padrone.
Ma perfortuna non e' cosi' in tutti i paesi.
Scelta editoriale, tse'. Pathetic.

Da facocero belluino e selvaggio, complice il Regime Berlusconi,

Poveraccio!  Pure Berlusconi tiri fuori per una cosa che non c'entra una
sega ne con l'Italia ne con Berlusconi :)
Si vede che sei proprio alla frutta povero *FESSO MONONEURONE*.
