I feel we are about to see another surge of Anti-Semitism on these message boards

With the (in my opinion) disappointing election results, I've already seen a bunch of trollish comments spewing anti-Semitic propaganda. This is one of them:

10. Now is the time to end our UN Security Council vetoes!

After the Nut 'n Yahoo's latest insane statements, what truly loyal American could object to Obama taking that action? (And that question means EXACTLY what you think it means! It's time to identify ourselves!)


I hope they do "identify themselves"...

I hope the poster was referring to the recent Republican actions in regards to Iran...maybe I'm a little sensitive about the subject, I've just seen and heard enough "loyalty" questions that a red flag immediately goes up whenever I see it.

I alerted on the post; 2-5 for it to say. I also alerted on the post hoping all of Israel dies...we'll see what those results are.

It never gets hidden, unless it can be parleyed into a personal attack on a DU'er. There was a post last week declaring all Jewish Congressmen and women "dual citizens" of Israel and it was from a blatantly anti-Semitic site. Not only was it not hidden, a few people started wringing their hands about the "news."

The other alert was a raging success! 7-0 hide!

The poster which was the inspiration behind the OP (as well as the poster calling for the destruction of Israel) was banned.

We have seen one example...others are there, just not as "in your face."

It's sad seeing posts like "Get out the capers and lox! This is going to be a messy bagel Israel got themselves in," from Fred Sanders and not having the energy to explain the problems with that because somewhere else in the thread the term Shylock is allowed to stand.

It never fails...like the setting of the sun. Now, I getting PMs from Jewish members saying they are leaving. I think it is their goal to force us off the board or at least into submission.
