Achtung Wendy!
Some hours after our piece on the hilarious nonesense of the PeacePalestine petition stumbled onto the web… http://azvsas.blogspot.com/2008/02/case-of-great-peacepalestine-petition.html … the KKK link was FINALLY removed from the site’s favoured links, and the doodoo of having Radical Press, Canada as a signatory swept under the rug. Just so it doesn’t go down MiniTruth’s memory hole we’ll…

Battle dress Below is an article from Ha’aretz, the Israeli daily, about a Palestinian Israeli lecturer who has been victimised because he refused to allow soldiers uniforms or weapons in his class. Bear this in mind when anyone says that they support academic freedom and that is why they oppose the academic boycott of Israel:Tony…
Read MoreThe Case of the Great PeacePalestine Petition Swindle
Recently a petition appeared on notorious anti-Semitic site PeacePalestine. http://peacepalestine.blogspot.com/ The amusing thing about their exercise is the obvious misdirections, deceptions, manipulations and duplicity it displays. Firstly it implies that Rizzo and Atzmon are being hounded by Zionists. This they know to be a lie. Which they indirectly admit by usage of the phrase “They…
Read MorePalestine not Vanity – A Question of Honesty: A reply to Paul Rooij’s Snakes in the grass
One of the Atzmon/Rizzo clones to have recently surfaced is ‘writer’ Paul Rooij. Fresh from trying to deface the Cork PSC site he is an editor for, he has penned a delightful article ‘Beware of the snakes in the grass‘. Brendan Behan wrote that there’s no such thing as bad publicity, apart from one’s own…
Read MoreIndymedia Capitulates To The Anti-Semites And Holocaust Deniers
Maybe it was a mistake to expect anymore of them, but Indymedia does describe itself as a ‘network of individuals, independent and alternative media activists and organisations, offering grassroots, non-corporate, non-commercial coverage of important social and political issues.’ It also has Guidelines which state under Discrimination: posts using language, imagery, or other forms of communication…
Read MoreThe Anti-Semites Feel the Heat
Can you imagine anything more ludicrous? At a time when over a million Palestinians are under siege from Israel, when hunger stalks the streets and fighter planes soar over the horizon, we are asked to sign a petition in solidarity with two well known anti-Semites – Gilad Atzmon and Mary Rizzo! Petition: for two activists……

Minutes have been published of the Indymedia network meeting this weekend in Nottingham.http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/UkNetworkMeeting2008 Although the Saturday meetings and the Sunday morning are reported, the Sunday afternoon meeting minutes are not available. Piecing together things from what is taking place on the web it would appear that there are serious divisions within the moderators and members…
Read MoreHow Indymedia UK Lost Its Way and became a safe haven for Anti-Semitism
Indymedia UK [IM] boasts that it is ‘a network of individuals, independent and alternative media activists and organisations, offering grassroots, non-corporate, non-commercial coverage of important social and political issues.’ http://www.indymedia.org.uk/ When the issue of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism arose in October 2007, IM demonstrated that far from being an alternative, grassroots way of doing things, it…
Read MoreUniversity College Cork PSC Database – Edited by Paul Rooij, apologist for holocaust deniers and anti-semites
An anti-Zionist comrade, Roland Rance, informed me on the 6th January that what he described as ‘the usually-reliable Cork PSC database’ http://cosmos.ucc.ie/cs1064/jabowen/IPSC/php/home.php contained a hostile comment on my bio. page from one Paul de Rooij. http://cosmos.ucc.ie/cs1064/jabowen/IPSC/php/authors.php?auid=367 I confess I had never heard of Mr Rooij before, though he appears to be a freelance journalist writing…
Read MoreAn Open Letter to Indymedia
Antisemites and holocaust deniers promoted & protected on Indymedia UK I am writing to you concerning the question of anti-Semitism and holocaust denial being tolerated and condoned within UK Indymedia. I write both as someone who is Jewish and anti-Zionist. When I make an accusation of anti-Semitism I mean exactly that. This should not be…
