Dear brothers and sisters from Independent Media
Center,
I beg your attention to an important fact.
A Non-Governmental Organization called "Children of Holocaust" is threatening
IMC Switzerland with legal charges for publishing of material seem by them as
"anti-Semitic", including my last cartoon series "We are all Palestinians".
This is the letter (in German) sent to IMC Switzerland
by CoH spokesman Samuel Althof, where he points a link to my last cartoon from
series (scene from Warsaw Ghetto):
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren von Indymedia-Switzerland
Mit freundlichen Grüssen
Aktion Kinder des Holocaust, AKdH

It's a reaction from conservative sectors from
Swiss society that, certainly, are aligned with Israeli criminal policies and,
as Israel and United States in World Conference Against Racism, do not accept
any kind of criticism to massacre promoted by them against Palestinian people.
Moreover, this threat has as goal to silence expressions of rejection to Israel
on Swiss IMC and if they get succeed on this, other IMCs can be also targeted
by such reactionary attacks.
We need to act right now! My suggestion is an
article of support to CMI Switzerland on main page, as well as a net of support
formed by other IMCs. Even disliking editorial staff from IMC Switzerland, my
opinion is not what matters now. We need to fight hard for principles of free
and REAL independent media. So, let's go to support IMC Switzerland and to refuse
malicious allegations from CoH.
You can count on me for anything.
Sincerely yours,
Latuff
