[Imc-uk-features] Gilad Atzmon - a Holocaust Denier

[tony greenstein]

I'm sorry if what I've written is not clear.  My simple request is that the article I submitted and which was hidden by FTP is unhidden.  
  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/01/389837.html
  It really is outrageous that Indymedia is happy to carry stuff by Atzmon, who is without doubt anti-Semitic and I would now argue in essence a holocaust denier, yet criticism of him is hidden.
   
  I challenge anyone to read the article, despite the greying out, and say that it is a libel or calumny to accuse Atzmon of now supporting holocaust denial.
   
  There is masses of Atzmon's stuff on Indymedia and all the excuses given by FTP for hiding my article apply equally to Atzmon, (his articles are in many cases as long or longer).  Yet we are now into making an equivalence between those opposed to and those supporting holocaust denial.
   
  I suggest that the mods actually take a look at the article which has been hidden and see if it measures up to what ftp says.  I.e. that they exercise their own judgement in this matter.
   
  I hope that is now clear.

  >>Can folks help with some ideas here (moderating this list without feedback is getting to be a _really_ _really_ hard task). We've got two more Tony Greenstein e-mails in the queue.

One is I think continuing to respond to the posts about him - I tend towards allowing someone to question posts about them personally (but as people know I tend away from posts about people personally on the newswire more generally.) I can't say it's very clearly written and is in the same style of the whole debate - ie not written in such a way that it actually seeks a conclusion to the problem, but seeks problems (or at least it is IMHO).
One is certainly mainly about the Atzmon article. I suppose we can start adding to the Wiki again :-(

Any thoughts, about how to keep this a functioning list in the present period?
