IndyMedia Manipulation and Islamists

by Truth Seeker
Trouble in Indy media
I am sick and tired of Indy Media and human Rights Groups being hijacked by the Pro Arab Lobby. There are already many many Arab sites that are Hate-Filled. As far as human rights go, Israel has the best human rights record of any Middle East country.

Palestinian media and outside sources claim that Arafat has ordered or allowed the public execution of over 1000 of his own people for political reasons. The Free Lebanon Web Site claims Arafat and the PLO massacred Lebanese villages. Syria massacred about 4000 Fundamentalists and Jordan killed hundred of them. Egypt is still torturing and killing hundred of people who belong to the Muslim Brotherhood. What kind of Human Rights are there in Saudi Arabia where not long ago a Canadian Woman working there was arrested by the religious police and taken to jail where see was beaten so badly her face was scared. Her crime? She was in a car with men. They were beaten also.

Why are the Indy Media and Humanitarian Groups almost silent in the face of all these massacres and human rights abuses? Why do they allow Pro Arab Groups to dominate their Web Sites with the same old Jew Bashing Hate Mongering. If the articles had something constructive to say in order to further the Peace Process than that is OK. And some of the articles do attempt to do that but the majority is just hate mongering and have no place on Indy Media.

So let’s save Indy Media for enlightened minds and constructive comments and fair coverage!

"you be sure to say that to those killed in sabra and shatila. "

Oh, you mean those people who were killed by... Lebanese Christians? From the way you guys carry on about it, you'd think the Jews did it.

Or to only examine slices of the entire picture in order to portray a skewed version.

Schizophrenics also tend to have trouble with things like metaphor vs reality.

They were Israeli puppets.

The phalangist were a de-facto military wing of the IDF and were funded and trained by Israel. The murderers of sabra and shatila all wore israeli uniforms and used israeli supplied weapons, and were ORDERED IN TO THE REFUGEE CAMP BY ISRAEL. Sharon was found "personally responsible" for the slaughter, BY ISRAELI COURT. Israel shot flares over the camps while the slaughter was taking place, so that the phalangist and other militias could commence their warcrimes effectively during the night. Anyone trying to say that Israel was not directly responsible is a absolute liar.
