Not all IMCs are dung-heaps.

It is obsessed with all things Jewish and its credibility has dropped to an all time low. Most of the editors who had journalistic skills have now left and only a small rump of determinted anti semites remain. I doubt it will last the year.

The articles which were hidden include a report about a knife attack on a Rabbi in Germany, a group of youths who attacked a Jewish person in France, antisemitism in Russia, and a follow up on the Ilan Halimi case in France (the young Jewish man who was abducted, tortured, and killed by an extortionist gang), as well as a few comments raising questions about a post regarding the singling out of prominent Jewish politicians or politicians with “Jewish-sounding” names.

One Indymedia moderator, who signed under the name “Concerned”,
raised concerns about this to the other moderators, asking:
“The following posts were all hidden today, none of them breaks any of the editorial guidelines, they are all relevant to Indy reflecting important issues. They are of course detailing attacks on Jews. Was this the reason they were hidden ?”

And again, the moderator asks:
“Yesterday when a post about the death of a Jewish Facist fighter was hidden we were told by ana it was ” a mistake”. Where these mistakes as well ?”

Again:
“Who has hidden these, why was the hiding not notified to the Moderation List, what was the reason ?”

And:
“And the comments to this one were also hidden, for what reason ?”

And finally:
“More “mistakes” or institunialised antisemitism ?”

It looks like they’re working on banishing the original post altogether, despite the fact that after the censorship extravaganza there’s not much subversive material left anyway.
You can search for the nicely cleansed remains of it here, but act fast before it’s too late!
