The truth about “KILL ALL JEWS!”

by rene
Why would anyone stoop so low as to try
to discredit me by making grossly racist comments under my name?
Yesterday, a hateful idiot posted the following racist shit using my name. This is a copy of that garbage.

“KILL ALL JEWS!
by Rene • Friday August 09, 2002 at 11:22 AM

It is not just zionism that we should oppose-but judaism itself. This hook-nosed racists are the most evil domineering capitalists in the world today; Hitler was correct about them and the threat they posed. We must continue his work and slaughter them throughout the world!”

This was followed by this comment.

"It is not just zionism that we should oppose-but judaism itself. This hook-nosed racists are the most evil domineering capitalists in the world today; Hitler was correct about them and the threat they posed. We must continue his work and slaughter them throughout the world!"

Does anyone honestly believe that Rene really wrote this shit? This is just some zionist ass trying to discredit someone whose pro-Palestinian ideas they are too dumb to counter...If you do not have anything constructive to say, sit down and shut up. Accept it. Do not try to slander someone else. That is just petty, and anyone wiht a half of a brain knows it.

When I saw this stuff, I wrote the following.

What kind of scumbag would write such monstrous bigoted garbage and present it under my name.

Idiots who say "Kill all Jews" come from the same cesspool that create "Kill all Palestinians" racists.

I would like to request that SF IMC finds out who made such a slur using my name and then ban that person from ever posting again on any IMC sites. I know that the Guardian talk forums in Great Britain is able to do that kind of sensible operation. I'm not sure if IMC software has that capability.

I would appreciate some feedback on what IMC participants think about this kind of phony posting.

I also made a follow up comment/
Thanks Mr. T

I was too upset by the shit that was posted in my name to thank you for your keen observation-- that this kind of unsupported racism has nothing to do with anything I have ever posted on IMC.

At least there are some readers on IMC who can remember prior postings.

I believe in a free Palestine and I will continue to post materials and ideas about that. Freedom of speech is something that many of my infantry buddies died for. It is a precious thing and it will not be deterred by slur artists and name callers.

Note: The above comments come from an 8/5 article by Steven Salaita titled “Hatred of Arabs Is So Commonplace, it Usually Goes Unnoticed”

Free Palestine

My name got one of those postings after I gave out the URL to Al Ahram and suggested that it was a good place to get information about the Middle East:

What's interesting, is that right after my post, I was called an "asshole" and a "woman-hater."
That was followed-up by the anti-Semitic post they tried to attribute to me to negate my previous post.

I'm pretty sure it is Zionists as they seem to be the most fanatical about defending Israel's "good name."

I would suggest that Indymedia stamp all posts with their IP addresses as this would clearly point out which people are placing pro-Israeli spam followed by vicious anti-Semitic remarks designed to defame anyone with whom they disagree.

Al Ahram:

the idiots who regularly post anti-Muslim posts must actually be Islamicists. You may be right but unfortunately I think not. Indymedia is a hang-out for all types of despicable racists, anti-Arab and anti-Jewish.
by Mr T
At least as far as I know, Eric, Alex eversmore, etc never have talked about how other people have been posting the non racist stuff in their name. I have been a victim of this, so was this guy Jim, so was Rene, I remember something about the history buff guy and i beleive it has happened to nessie too. So until the other side claims that to be happening to them as well, you do not really have a case "realist."

what's really funny is these people don't seem to realize their efforts are entirely in vain. They only affect regular readers who are smart enough to know the difference, and we all know how prolific these disruptors are. I often wonder to myself just how much time this individual(s) spends doing this and whether it is a case of a mental problem or just plain stupidity.
The general readership, judging from what I can tell, doesn't even look at comments. They go to the front page and read the articles and when you do that, the comments are listed but not displayed and I doubt they even read them.
This person or group is pretty much a joke in my mind, and a pretty dumb one at that.
