AntiFA-Censorshit at IMC-Austria

BlackPope | 03.07.2002 00:27

Just to let you anglophones know what kind of repression of free speech is occurring at IMC's across Europe these days:
the following is a translation of a piece published by myself yesterday, which survived a bare 4 hours before being censored, the reactions to it and the reasons given for this censorshit.
The links given in my piece are to grafics published here yesterday, naturally with no questions of censorship having been raised!!

1.) This article contains a link to an antisemitic Cartoon. Critics of Israel are portrayed with signs detailling their "crimes", while flanked by soldiers with 'Born to kill' written on them. By this means the politics of Israel is equated with that of the Nationalsocialists [Nazi, NSDAP], which is clearly to be seen as antisemitism.

2.) The article contains no information, but only a practically uncommented link to another Indymedia-page...

3.) "Latuff sends greetings from a place where AntiFA-StormTrooper-Censorship does not rule!!" - Antifaschism is equated by the author with fascism - such "opinions" should find no space on Indymedia...

So, Volks, that's how quick and stupid the censorship-reflex is at IMC-Austria. Amazing, is it not?
