1. You forgot to mention
Jon ,   UK   (04.08.13)
that when you did your Google search on the word 'jew', Google felt it necesary, including in an advert, to say "We apologize for the upsetting nature of the experience you had using Google" They do not do that with ANY other word ! Their unrequired apology simply adds fuel to the fire and provides ammunition to those who say there is indeed a worldwide jewish conspiracy.
2. Holocaust II will happen! Can it be stopped?
David ,   Israel   (04.08.13)
Anyone who watched the excellent production on Israel Channel 2 by Ya'akov Aylon on the rise of Antisemitism is the USA, Europe and South Africa, and who thought that the hatred of the Jewish People was a thing of that past, was in for a very rude awakening! One of the "big" shocks was how many Jew hating Jews there are and how they ply their poisonous wares in an eager to hate market. One of these is the half-sister of Cherie Blair, wife of former PM Tony Blair, Lauren Booth, born Sarah of a Jewish mother, and today a supporter of Hamas, rabid Antisemite and one who decries moves by some pro-Palestinians to remove the Antisemitism from their anti Zionist campaign. Lauren Booth currently works for Iran's state-owned 24-hour English language news channel, Press TV and is an advocate for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people. Another point very well made was the use of the Internet to further the hatred of Jews. Jews in the Diaspora are once again in danger and the present world economic crisis is being used to flame the fires of hatred! Time for World Jewry to decide: Follow the Jews in Germany or WAKE UP!
3. The Next Holocaust is just around the corner!

4. Of course we cannot win this...
HaifaGuy   (04.08.13)
Jews are a drop in the ocean and, despite all the enormous power and influence ascribed to us, WE know the truth and the truth is - we are a drop of truth in the ocean of lies. the best tool we have to confront this turbid tsunami is the State of Israel - a strong and prosperous country open to all Jews from anywhere in the world. Long live Israel.
5. I keep telling you...
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   netzarim.co.il   (04.08.13)
Simply applying pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding doesn't address the core problem and, if you don't start listening, learning and dealing with the core problem it ain't gonna get any better. Misojudaism will continue to fester and worsen; just as I've long been telling you it would, and as it has been. No different than the displacement theologies of Christianity (with its misojudaics and missionaries) and Islam (with its misojudaics and terrorists), this is an idealogical conflict. You cannot physically stop ignorance-driven hatred. Your only option is to win more hearts through education. And you won't do that with your current, head-in-the-sand (to be charitable), attitudes and methods. Nor can you light up the sheeple when you haven't educated yourselves. Accordingly, until you abandon medieval European innovations of mysticism and fables and discipline yourselves to grasp the pristine principles of Torah in accordance with the hard evidence of science, archeology and historical documentation, misojudaism will keep getting worse. You COULD have the hard evidence of science, archeology and historical documentation on your side... but you refuse, your proclaimed "Torah scholars" trusting in medieval men instead of the Singularity-Creator -- ha-Sheim -- and His Torah (Life's Instruction Manual). ha-Sheim will outwait you and the misojudaics will eventually force you to make teshuvah to the pristine principles of Torah. You can pay attention now, or pay the price later.
6. Jews only count Jews, its racist, tens of millions murdered
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.08.13)
And legitimate criticism of Israel's bad behavior in Palestine is not racism.
7. Don't Censor the Internet
Matt ,   USA   (04.08.13)
Anti-semitism and racism are a major issue on the Internet and in real life, but the absolute worst way to deal with it is through censorship. Please don't let Jews be the ones to lead the charge for an "international treaty" to censor the Internet.
8. The creation of www.global monster.world
tiki ,   belgium   (04.08.13)
In the name of 'Freedom of Speech! If governments don't take harsh action now, like regulating & stopping the global tsunami of anti Semitic hate speech flooding the internet & social media, WW3 is around the corner! It only starts with the Jews, but it never ends there! Maybe that message would be a good starting point for the Web & social media! The Geenie is out of the bottle and it will be impossible to put her back, but it should be at least tried, for she has changed into a worldwide monster!
9. #6. Experience speaks, America has the most racist
A ,   Belgium   (04.08.13)
history of any country on earth. But than who knows about racism better than you, benazzi?
10. a phenomenon of "cyber-racism"
Talia   (04.09.13)
No need for studies. All you have to do is read comments in Israeli papers online to see a slew of vile racism against Palestinians, Muslims and Arabs.
11. #2, And do what once we "wake"
Daniel ,   Toronto, Canada   (04.09.13)
Move to a tiny geographical area in the desert surrounded by neighbors who don't get along with you because you treat them with the same hate and racism which you complain about in others? Go concentrate the entire tribe into a tiny little spot inviting something like a Tsar Bomba which would totally devestate all Jews at once like many "pro Israel" groups ultimately wish to hope for? Your mandatory conscription and superior military tech that Americans paid for won't do you any good. You need real military training and a real military, not a bunch of children dressing up as army men shooting mostly defenseless Arabs while believing delusional invincibility myths, that latter of why a resistance group with inferior tech was able to hand it to you back in '06 A lot of liberals are deluded too but you far-right extremists and racists who represent a majority over there ethnically cleansing Palestine while making supremacist excuses and citing the holocaust another holocaust are the reason for most of these diaspora attacks. We want nothing to do with you, many of you are Russians who pretended to be Jews in order to leave the USSR.
12. Fails to mention
Rachel ,   Terrytown, N.J.   (04.09.13)
Tal Frost fails to mention also there are thousands of websites that espouse and decimate the ideas that these people, the Jews are not really Jews, thousands especially in the U.S.
13. to #7 , totally agree with you
Oleg   (04.10.13)
..what a stupid article..big deal--anti-semitism, it has been around , it is here today ,and will be around. We Jews -- explain our position to those who stand with us and make an effort for those who dont know. To anti-semites we need to be defiant and tell them -they can blabber their crap, but they can not and will not have an easy ride with us as they did in "good old days"..but in no way --should the web be censored.
14. #11 OK, stay in Canada
Vlad   (04.11.13)
But when the streets of the Americas and Europe become like the streets of France are for Jews today, please don't use Israel as an escape route.
