Third Intifada app removed from App Store after complaint by Israeli government


From the NY Times
Apple removed an application from its App Store on Wednesday after a Jewish human rights group and a top Israeli official said it contained anti-Semitic content and promoted violence against Israel.

The app, “The Third Intifada,” notified people of upcoming protests against Israel and also highlighted anti-Israel news and opinion from around the Web.

“We removed this app from the App Store because it violates the developer guidelines by being offensive to large groups of people,” an Apple spokesman said Wednesday evening. more

  1. "..notified people of upcoming protests against Israel and also highlighted anti-Israel news and opinion from around the Web."

    I wonder which "Jewish human rights group" decided that protest and opinion constituted 'violence against Israel'?

    Pathetic. Apple, it must be said, hasn't conducted itself any better - "offensive to large groups of people", as 'developer guidelines'?
