“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Zuckerberg’s 99 Percent Myth: Extremist Content Removal Claims False & Misleading

by Jews Can Shoot on May 21, 2019

Since 2017, Facebook has on numerous occasions announced to the public, shareholders and the U.S. Congress that it removes “99 percent” of Al Qaeda and ISIS-related content from its platforms. However, a recent Associated Press investigation into whistleblower claims to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleges that in reality, Facebook’s extremist content removal rate was just 38 percent, not 99 percent. This disconnect calls into question once again the company’s credibility and its commitment to removing dangerous content from its platform.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg, other company executives and Facebook itself must be held accountable for why they have been repeatedly touting what have turned out to be false and misleading claims. Over the course of one-and-a-half years, the “99 Percent Myth” was relayed before both houses of Congress, on quarterly earnings reports and on press release after press release. This puzzling talking point, once again, exposes the company’s efforts to assuage critics and limit legislative or regulatory pressure, calling into question its commitment to removing terrorist and extremist content from its platform.
