Fox News host Jeanine Pirro has sparked outrage among Jewish leaders by saying that the decision by tech companies to boot the social network park farthest from the internet was’ like Kristallnacht. ‘
Pirro drew the comparison between Parler ‘s demise and a 1938 Nazi pogrom aimed at Jewish synagogues and businesses, also known as’ Night of Broken Glass,’ when he appeared on ‘Fox & Friends’ on Monday.
Amazon parler kicked off their web hosting service over links to a deadly siege last week on the U.S. Capitol, and both Apple and Google followed suit.

‘What we are seeing is a kind of Kristallnacht-like censorship where they decide what we can communicate,’ Pirro said. She said tech companies had given conservatives a ‘taste’ of censorship before the election by deleting stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop
When asked to give her opinion on the closure of paradise, ‘Pirro said, in part:’ what we see as a kind of censorship similar to Kristallnacht is where they decide what we can communicate. ‘
She also said that technical companies gave conservatives a ‘taste’ of censorship to come before the election by deleting stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop that they said were involved in emails.
After being criticized on Twitter for likening Parler’s business loops to the Nazi historical horror that was the prelude to the Holocaust, Pirro said she had been referring to the burning of Jewish books that happened at the time of Kristallnacht.
‘While book burning began earlier, Kristallnacht involved the destruction of Jewish stores, homes & synagogues that contained rare Jewish books & Torah,’ she tweeted on Monday. My reference was in the context of books. The Holocaust was the worst hate crime the world has ever suffered. I hate all violence. ‘
Pirro was not the only voice on the right picture drawing suspicious parallels between the deadly hate crime committed by the Nazis and Parler’s removal from cloud services.
Former Republican Congressman Steve King lamented in a tweet on Sunday that he has lost 8,000 followers in a day, saying: ‘Apple, Google, Facebook, and many others have put off keep. Last night was cyber cyber Kristallnacht! ‘

He doubled down his argument the next day, tweeting: ‘The CyberGods have kept all effective platforms hosting a speech against their Leftist ideology. Last night was Kristallnacht 2.0. Today Impeach Trump started 2.0. I can’t think of a better way to promote March on Capitol 2.0. ‘
Famous Jewish leaders and cultured people on the left and right did not spend time attacking Pirro and King all over the coal for their Kristallnacht ideas.
‘Kristallnacht was an organized pogrom with the Sturmabteilung and Hitler Youth destroying hundreds of synagogues and thousands of Jewish businesses, killing dozens of people, and dragging tens of thousands of Jewish men to concentration camps like Buchenwald,’ CNN added CNN’s Jake Tapper tweet.
Neoconservative political analyst Bill Kristol tweeted: ‘Your reminder from time to time that Fox News has a board of directors responsible for this programming, and, for that matter, for Ms. salaries. Pirro and listeners: Rupert Murdoch Lachlan Murdoch Chase Carey Anne Dias Roland Hernandez Jacques Nasser Paul Ryan. ‘
Dov Hikind, a state convener in New York, saw no words in bringing Pirro and King into action, tweeting: ‘EVERYONE CAN DO IT NA HAROCAUST COMPARISONS TERRIBLY IGNORANT HOLOCAUST?!?!? If you haven’t lost anyone to Hitler’s death machine then put on YOUR MOUTH SHUT! ‘
Avi Mayer, Managing Director of Global Communications at the American Jewish Committee, tweeted at Pirro, apologizing.
‘Members of my family were taken to concentration camps on Kristallnacht, our synagogue was burnt to the ground, and my grandparents and their families had to flee for their lives. This is nothing like that, @JudgeJeanine. You are sorry for us. ‘
Political cartoonist Eli Valley also took a swipe at Pirro, saying in homosexuality: ‘There is Kristallnacht, where a forum was rejected for planning Nazi terror. ”
Parler, a 2-year-old magnet for the far right, became No. 1 free app launched on iPhones late last week after Facebook, Twitter and mainstream social media platforms permanently suspended President Donald Trump’s accounts of comments during a rally that appeared to be they were inciting a deadly revolution on Wednesday.
The wave of Trump supporters was not coming to the short-term service. Google yanked a smartphone app parler from their app store on Friday to allow posts that seek to incite continued violence in the U.S. ‘
Parler CEO John Matze dismissed the penalties as a ‘coordinated attack by technical giants to kill competition in the market’
Apple followed suit on Saturday after giving parler a day to deal with complaints that were being used to plan and help ‘illegal and dangerous activities’. But the death knell came from Amazon Web Services, a leading provider of cloud computing infrastructure, which informed the parker that he had to look for a new web hosting service after Sunday.
Parler has filed a lawsuit to get back online, arguing in federal court Monday that Amazon was abusing its market power in a way that ‘kills Parler’s business – at the very moment it is about to skyrocket. ‘
