Hillel International and Simon Wiesenthal Center’s incredibly creepy new campus surveillance tool
The Simon Weisenthal Center and Hillel International just proudly
announced a new phone app “to fight anti-Semitism” which will be deployed on 550 US campuses with Hillel centers.
In reality, however, the partnership is less
Southern Poverty Law Project, and more
J. Edgar Hoover and Roy Cohn-decide-to-make-an-enemies list.
In a truly alarming marriage of Paranoid Surveillance Culture and the no-desperate-move-surprises-
us-anymore Israel lobby…the
Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC), the group known for actually
building a “Museum of Tolerance” on top of a Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem,
has developed the app to encourage students to literally report their
teachers and fellow students. Reminiscent of surveillance posters found
in places like Singapore, and I’d imagine, North Korea, this app’s catch
phrase is “See it. Report It”
