The Owner of www.safed.co.il Thinks The Public Is Stupid

BS"D

While it is necessary to moderate the forum of www.safed.co.il in order to keep hate posts and vile posts off it, does the owner of this site, Roni Yeshurun, really think that by deleting posts that critique Tzfat that people will think that everything is alright here?

He is concerned about his bed and breakfast business. He thinks he can paint a perfect picture of Tzfat and people will come in droves believing it.

An important post concerning the "Clalit" Health Fund was deleted from the forum on the Tzfat site. That post could have saved many people from being harmed. But the owner of the site is concerned about his business alone. So, it was deleted.

I was not banned from that forum because my posts were vile, hate-filled ranting, as are "carin's". The owner of this site contacted Doreen offline and told her in e-mails that he considers her a brilliant researcher, but must ban her because of the reactions to her intelligent posts. He also did not like that she critiques Tzfat. He wrote in an e-mail that he bought this site in order to make Tzfat look good. The most distressing message that she got in an e-mail from him is one that talked contemptuously about the people in the Old City, particularly the religious people there, as those who want Tzfat to be "a poor Jerusalem". He also welcomed wealthy tourists from Arab countries to Tzfat in one of his posts, even as he wrote contemptuously of poor Jews in the e-mail to me.

Moreover, he refused to cooperate and release the IP of "carin" when I told him that she was instructed by a detective to request him to do so in order that "carin's" identity be revealed and the investigation of that person proceed unabated. He, therefore, obstructed justice. Doreen notified the police that the owner of the www.safed.co.il site refused to cooperate in the investigation and release the IP of the person who is hiding behind the name "carin", who will eventually be brought to justice despite the lack of cooperation.

The site is, therefore, anti-intellectual, anti-democratic, skewed, misleading and CENSORED.

Anything for a buck.
