Indymedia and Anti Semitism
Sophie Walker | 13.02.2008 19:44
I have been a supporter of Indymedia for the past four years I have contributed articles on Climate Change, Child Prostitution and Social Struggles in South America. I have watched with increasing unease the developments over the past year with regard to Anti Semitism and how Indymedia deals with it.
In my view Indymedia UK now allows obvious Anti Semites to post and has administrators on the page who are prepared to defend Anti Semitism. This I find unaceptable and I do not want to be involved with any organisation that does this.
I am with immediate effect withdrawing from Indymedia UK and shall no longer contribute in any way. I will continue to contribute to other Indymedia sites around the world, this only relates to the UK.
Best + Sophie

Of course the email address is as real as the rest of this "article"...

See also these other made up article and reports, none of them authentic and all part of the same disinformation campaign:

"Maz, Richard and Sarah" - http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/02/391121.html
It's a shame some people fall for these made up articles: http://www.socialistunity.com/?p=1707
If you want some truth you need to speak to one or more of the 30+ people at the network meeting... Also you might also ponder why no IMC admins have disputed the hiding of these articles or the promotion of the comments pointing out that they are lies...
