Just wanted to drop a brief note to all at Indymedia but our old friend Roy Bard in particular for the excellent editing that's been done over the last week.
There were five posts and numerous comments that had something positive to say about Israel or Jews in general and Roy was there with his "delete" and "edit" buttons to ensure the readers of Indymedia continued to be fed the "official" IMC line.
Once again we saw post disappear altogether (something we are assured never happens) rather than be transfered to the "hidden" page and again many comments were either removed or edited to alter their meaning.
(again, never happens we are told).
It warms the heart of all Jews like me to know we scare you that much that even in the minority media like Indymedia it is stil felt a needs exists to distort the truth about Israel in this way.
Roy - you are an evil anti-semitic bigoted coward who we will enjoy visiting in the future, Israel has a long memory. You got the kicking you deserved when you were in Bethlehem, it sounds like you are due another.
Thanks again for letting us know we are winning by worrying you so much, you have made an old Jew very happy
