Elaine, 

   The only complaint that I can recall right now about a "hate
group" that SCN hosts was about the Irish Northern Aid
Committee. SCN still hosts it, regardless of the validity of
that complaint in the minds of many people on the other side of
that issue.

   Another complaint that I recall, from last year, was about a
homosexual group. Again, we didn't remove the link because of
the complaint.

   Could you please clarify what you are talking about?

   The great majority of non-local groups have got that same
response. At the moment, I can't remember any Israeli groups who
have requested links. If this is a real question and not a
canard, then we can look for their requests, and any replies to
them, in the webmaster and webeditors archives. Which Israeli
groups were they?
