The intro now reads:

The following is a response by some IMC UK activists to a defamatory
article by an anonymous author published in the new, Manchester-based
magazine SHIFT (issue 3, May-Sep 2008), under the title "Go Hamas Go"? Why
Indymedia UK is losing support [1]. Although this may generate for SHIFT a
publicity they don't deserve, we thought it is out duty to clarify the
facts and refute these false allegations and accusations.

We've also added a few sentences like this one at the end:

Perhaps the author of the article, along with the SHIFT editors, need to
sit down (after publicising their magazine on Indymedia! [13]) and reread
the 'Holocaust' and Atzmon features carefully without prejugements and
hasty accusations.
