The IMC coverage of the events in Palistine have been outstanding.
Palistine Jerusalem Italy and UK IMC's (amonst others)have covered the Israeli IDFs' murderous attacks and the situation there better than any other media ANYWHERE.
So what are you on about, sorry I dont read portugese but this seems like an attack on the impartiality of indymedia
