Indy Media Watch

An article on Melbourne Indymedia discussing (what else) Israel resulted in the following 'cheat sheet' for anyone unsure of who's evil and who isn't.

Editorial Policies
by Horace Greeley Thursday June 09, 2005 at 08:54 PM

Crack A Book -- and many others seem to be genuinely unaware of the editorial policy of "Independent" Media.

So, for the sake of everyone, let me explain the policy again.

Israel = Nazi Germany

PLO = Valiant, peace-loving freedom fighters
Hamas = legitimate political party, dedicated to democratic prinicpals

George Bush = The most evil man every conceived by woman

Saddam Hussein = Benificent and kindly leader of a peace-loving country

Judaism = A vile, hate-filled, mysognistic superstition based on domination of the entire world

Islam = The religion of peace, dedicated to diplomacy, religious tolerance, the rights of women and above all -- peace in our time

American Prisoner of War Detention Centres = Gulags

Kidnapping and Beheading Women and Children = Moral equivalent of freedom fighters

If you have any doubt about what is considered to be acceptable here -- just apply the following guidelines

Jews, Christians, Western Civilisation in General = Evil
Anything Else = Good

I hope this clears it up for you

It does. I think I get it now.
