Something interesting has been happening at the Cleveland Indymedia site, however.
Someone has been taking pro-Israel blog posts, including mine, and posting them. This has had the effect of blunting the constant, hateful anti-Zionist propaganda that usually make up a large percentage of their articles.
One of the usual suspects at Indymedia has noticed, and is not happy about it:
Since Indymedia is ostensibly about free speech, this is more than amusing. (Not to mention the fact that I am apparently borderline psychotic.)Cleveland IMC Under Zionist Assault
by Sheepdog Sunday, May. 17, 2009 at 11:05 AMThis is the tactic: Inundate the newswire with spam, and Zionist propaganda by petulant, bitter reactionaries that border upon psychotic, who are dedicated and organized to conflate the theme of Zionism to Judaism, dependent on the cloak of ‘Jewishness’ to hide the blatant horror of occupation and genocide the leadership of Israel has perpetrated since the Zionist and the Nazis formed a partnership to seize the lands of the Middle East for a “Greater Israel”
The incident also shows that it is possible to fight back against the haters without too much effort, even on their own home turf. So whoever you are doing this - good job!
