.... , like that of Indymedia Israel, are very common on the Internet and are used by many individuals and communities wishing to exchange information and opinions freely. As opposed to the global process of concentration of the media and debate in the hands of a few, the public platform of the Internet provides a unique ground for free, democratic dialogue. Indeed, in the open publishing zone, some offensive expressions might appear, such as slander or abuse of privacy. However, the general opinion of judges and legislators from all over the world holds that, in almost all cases, responsibility should not be laid upon the providers of Internet services—website operators that allow an open publishing zone for the entire surfing public. This is also the opinion of a special committee of the Israeli Ministry of Justice, which presently discusses this issue.

hello billie h., thanks for quoting a page mentioning the case, it´s  http://xiaodongpeople.blogspot.com/2005/06/investigation-against-indymedia-israel.html
but actually, I can´t find any information there what´s really up with the page right now. there are only assumings which consequences the investigation MIGHT have, no final statement about a closing down of the page. does really no one have further informations about it so far?

the group in Israel doing Indymedia is updating the website and it takes longer then expected.. and it will probably take another few weeks.

if you want to find updates in English about stuff going on in Israel/Palestine you can visit the following websites

so, the indy crew is making site upgrades and a) need weeks for it, while b) deciding to take the side down while upgrades are done? crazy or what?

 http://palsolidarity.org/ was missing. please note that ISM - international solidarity movement also is known as the abbreviation for "international students movement" ( http://www.emancipating-education-for-all.org/ ) - I think if mentioning, it might help not to use the abbreviations so often, it´s too easy to mix them otherwise
