WHEN: 1 July 2006
WHO: The Presbyterian Church USA

MORE: "Decision to rescind divestment was sound" http://www.journalnow.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=WSJ%2FMGArticle%2FWSJ_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1149188856223&path=!living&s=1037645509005

WHEN: 30 June 2006
WHO: Ariel Sharon (http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/sharon.html), IDF general and former Prime Minister of Israel.
WHY: "Sharon was a traitor to the Israeli cause. That man called a referendum in his own party, the Likud, on whether or not to withdraw from the Gaza. The vote went against him. He dissed the Likud and went ahead anyway, in the course of which he split the Likud and formed Kadima. He created a Jew-hating police force (Note carefully NOT a secularist force) to carry out the action. That action, to emphasise my point, was not “secularist”, was not “leftist”, it was Jewish-hating and was Fascist-Stalinist."

WHEN: 30 June 2006
WHO: Ehud Olmert (http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/olmert.html), Former mayor of Jerusalem and current acting Prime Minister of Israel
WHY: "Olmert is a double traitor. Not only did he provide the necessary support for Sharon in his attack on Judaism in the Gaza, he also has stated his intention of amplifying this betrayal on a far more massive scale, pulling out of large sections of Judea and Samaria."

WHEN: 30 June 2006
WHO: Ami Isseroff, Executive Secretary of MidEastWeb for Coexistence, http://www.mideastweb.org and editor of PeaceWatch http://www.ariga.com/peacewatch
WHY: "Ami Isseroff of the Israeli Peace Movement has lined up alongside those traitors, Ben Gurion and Rabin. He could not be more explicit. At the same time Isseroff, representing this anti-Jewish section of Israeli society, has spread about again the old Arab and anti-Semitic Big Lie of the Deir Yassin Massacre."

WHEN: 30 June 2006

WHEN: 29 June 2006
WHO: Irish Indymedia, http://www.indymedia.ie/

MORE: "Irish Indymedia And Jew hatred" http://www.israpundit.com/2006/?p=1629


WHEN: 28 June 2006
WHO: Google Automated Search Results
WHY: Because the ranking algorithm behind the search engine reflected that the top result for the word "Jew" went to a legitimately anti-Semitic website. Of course the algorithin is purely objective and simply pulls up the most popular website corresponding to the search term.

WHO: Eyal Sivan, French-Jewish movie director
WHY: For making the movie "Route 181, fragments d'un voyage en Palestine-Israel" (Road 181, Extracts from a Palestinian-Israeli journey), which was critical of Israel (not Jews) and sympathetic with the legitimate grievances of the Palestinian people. Mr. Silvan was condemned as “one of the actors of today’s particularly hard and frightening Jewish anti-Semitism" for acknowledging Israeli crimes against the Palestinians.

Revisionist Zionism and intellectual forefather to most of the Zionist right-wing today, including Likud and Herut.
WHY: For the following quote: "Since the ugly, sickly "zhid," a character that doesn't appear in the least bit majestic, bestows on the ideal image of the beautiful, proud Hebrew… the zhid should be shocked and humiliated, whereas the other guy should be proud. The zhid is loathsome to everyone and everything, whereas the proud Hebrew must charm them… The zhid loves hiding with bated breath from the eyes of strangers, whereas the other guy must march proudly and strongly towards the entire world…and wave the flag: I am a Jew!"

WHEN: 27 June 2006
WHO: All Israeli Judges
WHY: "Like any normal child she declared, "You've broken all the pieces and I'm not playing the game -- I do not recognize you and am willing to be judged only according to the laws of the Torah." The poor judge didn't know exactly what to do. The defiant young girl in her court room removed the mask from the collective face of the system that the judge represents. ... But even if you decide to forgo the services of a lawyer and the right to defend yourself against the band of anti-Jewish tyrants currently occupying the judges' seats, ..."

WHEN: 26 June 2006
WHO: Fidel Castro, President of Cuba
WHY: "From a pre-Castro Jewish community of over 5000, all but about 300 have fled Fidel's vicious persecution.

WHEN: 25 June 2006
WHO: Most of the American Jewish population
WHY: Because most American Jews tend to pay attention to real anti-Semites (neo-Nazis, KKK, &c.) and refuse to gloss over Christian Jew-hatred to placate evangelical Christians and, worse still, tend to use the term "anti-Semite" to describe actual Jew haters as opposed to all people Left of the publishers - the Israel Hasbara Committee.

WHEN: 24 June 2006
WHO: The people of Irvine, California
WHY: "It’s that when many people in Irvine do go searching for that information, they have an abnormal predisposition to have the word “Jew” occur to them as an overly appropriate search term - and that in most other places where people are searching for information on Judaism, such a predisposition is not found."
