Please be aware of this while you read. There are many competing agendas in commentary and reporting on the Israel Palestine Conflict. There are also extremist viewpoints to be found on both sides of the conflict. It is therefore important to be aware of the fact that zionist blatant spamming of left - wing and progressive news sites is rampant at present taking place in many forums. We are loath to take part in censorship and as such would prefer if informed readers use the comment facility to point out, question and subvert obviously propagandistic posts. It is telling that while this very organised spamming by people like 'mary' and others is taking place on this site the IDF are destroying Internet Service Providers in occupied Palestine. Some good sources of news and opinion on middle east issues include www.electronicintifada.net Also for a mind-boggling history of Lebanon and the PLO and Palestine - Pity the Nation by Robert Fisk is indispensable. |

You people are so paranoid go back to your dictatorship governments dn totaltarian government. You remind me of the the communist.
No I mean Indymedia Ireland is being bombarded with, frankly, the most ludrciously childish propaganda by you and others mary. There is no attempt to even try and bring across the other point of view.
It's perpetual consistent, tiresome and an abuse of Indymedia's newswire. It's propaganda, lies, and tedious and it's a cancer on Indymedia.
Fine they're a bunch of communists, whatever we need to make you think, that it's not worth your while spouting the hate filled lies, you're choking the newswire with daily, I don't care, I just want you to stop, fuck off and wander back into that festering sewer you refer to as your mind.
And its not just on indymedia ireland,its on ALL the indymedia sites. This have to be some kind of organised propaganda spamgroup,or something.They are destroying the indymediaproject with their crap.
Something HAS to be done!
NOW!!
The extract below is from israelfightback.com- clearly a source of quality reading material:
“Both the international and the Palestinian media have accentuated the tragic fact that Palestinian children have been killed or wounded in the recent wave of violence which has engulfed the Middle East. Has any consideration been given, however, to the question of why these Palestinian children have been exposed to such dangers? Why are they frequently found on the streets, in the front lines of violent confrontations, when they should be safe at home or in school?
There are only two possibilities. Either, as Palestinian spokespersons and spin-doctors would have us believe, Israeli forces have been willfully and unabashedly targeting innocent Palestinian children, intentionally seeking them out and murdering them. Or these children are being deliberately taken out of their homes, schools and playgrounds and being sent to the streets, alongside Palestinian rioters, snipers and terrorists -- with the express purpose of placing them in the line of fire in a calculated play for world sympathy.
We all know which of these two possibilities is more likely. We all know who stands to benefit from the sympathy and the censure that the injury of these children attracts. We all know who needs to deflect world attention from their unwillingness to take the necessary steps to make peace. We all know who rejected American proposals at Camp David as even a basis for further negotiations
SYMPATHY PLOY
In the eyes of the Palestinians, the fact that their children are being wounded or killed is secondary to the fact that the world sees them being wounded or killed. Thus the Palestinians are able to cynically manipulate their media image and that of Israel.”
Given that most of these articles are complete, non-excerpted cut-n-paste jobs and indymedia.ie has had a stated policy of removing that type of thing before then what's the problem with removing them? If the spammers want to post on indymedia.ie then they need to excerpt the article thus:
More pro-Zionist spam including irrational calumnies of those that object to the occupation of Palestinian lands and the murder of Palestinians can be found in an excellent article by D.Horowitz in FrontPage magazine at www.frontpagemag.com. This is a great article that confirms all my hatred of Palestinians.
Yes, censorship is the great and notorious danger. That I could not condone.
Also, to effectively counter this form of lying agitation-propaganda, one must be exposed to it somewhat, but not necessarily flooded into oblivion.
I have seen this all over IMC and similar open forums, and do wonder to myself sometimes as to what extent the spamful energies of 'Mary' and cohorts have already been sucessfully automated.
The technology is surely no problem to anyone with the means and motivation, something which I'm quite sure the Lawless State of Israel possesses in spades. For the cost of just one nuclear-armed submarine less, ... why it could probably just buy the whole damned Internet!?!
So here is my suggestion - bundle all the nutbag spam supporting and justifying the lawless and reckless behaviour of the Sharonist Junta in Israel into one prominently linked permanent page with an expandable thread-like structure.
That way anyone interested in going in there to check it out, or refute their 'arguments' will be able to do so, no censorship need occur, and the newswire will be freed up for serious contributions.
Schalom, BP
Bundling it all into one area called "Isreali spam" would be the solution.
However, this is probably a temporary solution: consider the motivations of the Israeli trolls. They want to disrupt and discredit indymedia because they are afraid of the effect of criticism of Israel. So they have two main possible strategies:
1. Make indymedia unusable by automated spamming.
2. Post anti-Semitic, hate-literature that can be used as a stick to beat indymedia with.
The latter strategy was pursued by AKdH against Indymedia Switzerland who used lawsuits to shut them down. Interestingly indymedia suisse had implemented Black Pope's "spam area" into which they put anti-Semitic and anti-Arab garbage.
