Anti-Semitics, negationists on France Indymedia
The Scalp/Reflex Paris | 27.06.2002 07:33
Good relations had been established between Indymedia and the Scalp/Reflex Paris until now. We had in common political goals among which the developing of spaces of counter-power that seemed essential to us, particularly through alternative medium.
Some recent alarming ideas published by France Indymedia regarding the Near Eastern situation force us to put an end to our relations.
If the Scalp/Reflex support the Palestinian people and firmly condemn the policy set up by the state of Israel, we cannot agree with certain talks even in the name of a so-called freedom of expression.
The limits between a political opinion and an anti-Semitic point of view has been overstepped in texts and drawings which can be seen on your web site.
Tendentious sentences, historical compressed turns of phrases, freedom of speech for negationists and most of all the absence of condemnation from your administrators urge us to stop relations with France Indymedia.
We ask you to remove the link between your web site and ours and we will do the same on our own.
We still hope that this disturbing publishing is a product of a lack of political culture or/and of a lack of vigilance rather than from an ideological support.

The Scalp/Reflex Paris

well so the hell what. Jews have shown themselvse to be greedy and merciless, why should they expect different from the rest of the world?
Israel should get support from NOBODY, they are a liability, and if they support Sharon, then that should be their downfall, you don't see hitler supporters getting the respect that Sharon supporters do, right?

indymedia is a free-ish public space, which attracts pro- and anti-semites, pro- and anti-environmentalists, etc. I think the regulators take off the baying nazis (like the 1st commenter in this case) fairly promptly, but think of it as a public meeting: you can't interrogate people on their views as they come in, or prevent them from disagreeing with the prevalent and progressive line, and still call it 'public' can you?
