On August 28 and 29, I posted an article that was censored by urbana-champlain and placed in the hidden files

An article that I posted on a few IMC sites without problem was censored at urbana-champlain. The article involved two stories of current interest from Ha'arezt in Israel. The article was titled "Terrorism, Israeli Style."

These two stories showed the dark sides of some Israeli policies and individuals. I also notice that one other story critical of American Jews received the same treatment. Were these stories hidden by someone who likes to censure all things that are critical of Israel and Jews.

If so, shame on you, whomever you are.

The reason given for the censorship was "This is hidden because it's DAN SPAM"

some guy and mum make short comments that most of us can agree with. But, it does not seem like they bothered to read the article that I posted. The stories were unedited from an Israeli newpaper. I posted the article on IMC since I thought the American mainstream media would censure and not cover these stories. The article was not spam and it certainly was not racist.

Just because we do not like to hear news that we don’t like, it does not mean that such news is racist. Strawman arguments only demonstrate a lack of integrity.
