Hundreds of Turks gathered in Istanbul and Ankara Sunday, answering the call of local Islamist organizations to mark "Nakba Day"– the "catastrophe" of Israel's inception.
In Istanbul, about 150 demonstrators marched to the Israeli Consulate, shouting "Damn Israel" and "get ready Israel, the Mavi Marmara is coming."
News like this polluted the net yesterday and we had the mandatory self-righteous ''Israel BAD'' TWC thread on how to save the world from the join Jew-Cillon invasion ...
But does 150 nuts and adolescent really matters when Turkey had a 10 000 march about something else ? Something important like Censorship ?
There were 10,000 members of the Turkish Union of Engineers’ and Architects’ Chambers, or TMMOB, gathered in Ankara on Sunday to rally for their rights.
“Unpublished books are being confiscated. Methods are being sought to discipline the Internet. Everyone is being watched and listened to. Instead of democracy, we are headed toward a more oppressive authority. This is a huge detention system,” said TMMOB chairman Mehmet Soğancı, calling the recent developments the “September 12 referendum regime.”
Or that there is a youth movement trying to protest against the government's plan to filter the Internet and censors Porn ?
So in the international ''Blame the bogeyman baby killers day'', or Israeli Independence day, something actually worthwhile was happening about free speech ... but hey it is less self-righteous so what do I know.
So any one near Turkey to explain what the heck is happening there ?
An ad from the Internet protest (included for no other purpose than my amazement to learn that Turkish women are ... you know) Could some Turks please traduce please ?
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
PS : To all the expected ''Israel Bad&Palestine blabla'' one thing I have to say : Less noise please, there is enough Arab land to to give a piece of desert to the Palestians, maybe even with oil and a couple hundreds of billions so they can build a replica of Palestine complete with mountains and goats ... all that ''Allah command charity'' written in the book ... so spare me the nonsense.

P.S.:I support Nakba Day of Palestinians. Down with the Apartheid regime.
PS. PS. : The Government has been trying to bring several categories for internet usage, will be chosen by the user: 1. Standard (the current usage, will be default one, no filter), 2. Family category, 3. Child category.

The thread is about Censorship and Porn.

Optional or Mandatory ?
Who is going to enable it ?
Status of legislation ?

What does the engineers have to do with that? What are the books being confesticated? What happened in 12th September?

Politics and upcoming 12th June election.
At 12th September 2010, there was a referendum, it was %58 yes votes for the government's changes on the constitution.

If it was a referendum then the engineers should shallow it. How exactly constitution changes affect engineers?
What is this talk about "confesticated books"? Or that part is just hot air because of the upcoming elections?

Engineers are citizens too your know.
Plus it is not uncommon of trade unions to engage in politics, so I don't get where you are coming from with your dismissal.

Oh, I don't dismiss them. I just don't know what they protest against. I still haven't got any answer after 3 times I put the question. They mention censorship of books but nobody tells me if that's really happening and what books are being confesticated.
I don't disagree that engineers and their unions have every right to tell their political opinion. I just want to know what they're talking about. From the way of the first post, I thought it was something in the constitution that was against the interests of engineers (say an tax or something), and being an engineer myself I wanted to know what that was.

My knowledge of Turkish language near Zero, I saw this news from a American resident in Turkey and I can't read thing sourced ... I'm looking for answers about the specifics as much as you.

I like how Menelik brings up the Nakba protests in a completely unrelated topic, thoroughly bashes it and then demands that everyone not talk about it all in one post.

In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.

Indeed. And the proceeds to ignore being called out on it.
