A Perth man will stand trial in the District Court for allegedly uploading an anti-Semitic video YouTube.

Brendon Lee O’Connell, 38, of Maylands, has been charged under racial vilification laws for allegedly positing the anti-Semitic film in which he is seen in front of Perth’s Bell Tower and at a South Perth supermarket.

In May, the State Security Investigation group charged Mr O’Connell, who is accused of making anti-Semitic statements during the video, with carrying out conduct intending to incite racial animosity or harassment.

The maximum penalty for the offence is 14 years’ jail or fines of up to $24,000.

Mr O’Connell today appeared the Perth Magistrates Court and pleaded not guilty during the committal mention hearing. His bail was continued and he will appear before the District Court on November 20.

Mr O’Connell walked out of court video taping the waiting media.

He can’t seem to stop filming, can he?

Then again, no-one ever accused him of being smart, especially after he recently uploaded even more anti-Semitic videos to his new Youtube channel (assuming it was him, and not those Jews hiding in his roof).

Just saw Brendon O’Connell on news… Missed some of it…. He was defiant as ever and they even showed the snippet of the YouTube, where he says “the bells toll for you!”  Noticed that he has had some nice blonde streaks put into the front of his hair!!!!!

Those blonde streaks are sure to make him popular in the shower room.

Video sharing web site YouTube is taking steps to purge videos put up by terrorists or extremists as training or recruiting tools.

The San Bruno company, owned by search colossus Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) had been criticized for allowing films on bombmaking with household chemicals, for example, to persist on its site. The company didn’t say which particular videos would be eliminated.

Sen. Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, had asked Google to stop the posting of such videos in May. Lieberman is chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Critics say such training videos are so widely available on other sites that the YouTube policy won’t make much of a difference.
