(Jewish Group) Britons make 170,000 antisemitic Google searches a year, study finds

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!

At least 170,000 antisemitic Google searches are made in the UK every year, with 10% of them involving violent phrases such as “Jews must die” or “kill Jews”, research has revealed.

The analysis for the Community Security Trust (CST) showed that while most of the searches are for jokes mocking Jewish people, the most common negative stereotypes claim Jews are “evil” and “racist”.

In the 12 months after Google amended its autocomplete function to stop the word “evil” appearing after someone typed “are Jews”, there was a 10% decline in the number of these searches, the research found.

The findings cover a 14-year period starting in 2004 and are based on analysis of Google data, as well as material from the archive of the far-right website Stormfront, one of the oldest and largest neo-Nazi websites.

The research also pointed to an enduring fascination with conspiracy theories about the role of the Rothschild banking family in “running the world”.

Wonder what the US stats are? I added the last "snip" because of a recent asshole in DC who blamed the Rothschilds for the weather and still is a democratic member of the city council! Attack the Jews? Unless you are a rightwing loon, then it is "OK" or "justifiable" for the "greater good" (see recent LA Times article).

I periodically perform those same searches to see what the loons are saying about us. Heck, I’ve probably read the entire Stromfront website over the years.

It’s actually how I figured out Rep. Tlaib is a screaming loon antiemetic clown. Same with Sarsour. They’re both darlings of the hardcore Nazis.

Anyway , long way of saying I don’t know what, if any, significanance this data has.
