The Issue

Having spent years painstakingly building the show \"Elders of Zionism\" as a platform dedicated to fighting antisemitism, watching our host be silenced on YouTube felt like a profound betrayal. This was not merely a case of policy disagreement; it represented the very struggle our initiative was created to combat. In our latest episode, our host attempted to bravely expose a glaring double standard that exists within the dialogue surrounding antisemitism: the unsettling reality that mass tragedies garner global attention only when Jews are implicated.

YouTube flagged this episode, known as Protocol 36, for hate speech and swiftly removed it. Our appeal was swiftly rejected within four hours, without any human review or adequate explanation. The speed and lack of transparency in this decision signal a troubling disregard for nuanced discourse on antisemitism. We are left to wonder: Where does this leave genuine efforts to challenge deeply entrenched bias?

The decision to remove our episode signifies more than just the silencing of a voice; it reflects an alarming trend of dismissing antifascist narratives under a blanket policy without adequate context. What message does it send to Jewish creators who are tirelessly working to illuminate the dangers of antisemitism, only to be shut down when detailing their own experiences?

We demand that YouTube reinstate Protocol 36, engage in a transparent review process, and consider the vital distinction between fostering hatred and highlighting prejudices that require attention. Every day, millions rely on social media platforms to voice their experiences and to call out injustices. It is imperative for companies like YouTube to get their policies right and support those fighting hate, rather than punishing them.

This petition is a call to action—not only for YouTube but for all supporters of free speech and social justice. Reinstate Protocol 36 and stand with us in the fight against antisemitism. Your signature is more than just a name; it is a commitment to ensuring that voices that aim to educate and challenge bias are allowed to be heard. Sign the petition to urge YouTube to make a difference.
