Worst of Twitter: World Jew Watch kicks it old school

I am grateful to my parents for having insulated me from anti-Semitism growing up. It’s been an incidental hazard of growing up Catholic in the United States for generations, but not in my family. I even taught myself to bake challah in my teens.

My sons seem to have escaped it as well; one of our older son’s best friends in Jewish, and invited us to his bar Mitzvah.

Regarding the OP – Jew hatred is the bigotry of choice for the congenitally unimaginative. No originality required, or even desired.

Weird Eddie,

Bush the 1st negotiated it for years; it was supposed to be his “signature” legislative achievement. Clinton signed it into law, because he twarted Bush’s plans for a second term. (Although he did support it.)

Clinton generally gets the blame for its failings, though, since he WAS the one who actually signed it into law. He had nothing to do with drafting the agreement, though.

So why does Jack Dorsey and Twitter allow this vile, threatening language to go unsanctioned? This is a man who is encouraging violence against a specific, protected class of people. What does it take for Twitter to ban him? This is why I forgo Twitter and Facebook.

I wonder if they’re connected to the long running group of nasties known as Jew Watch, or if they took up that name without knowing someone else is using it.

There have been a couple disappearances I’ve heard about since Passover this year.

Holy shit, is that some overt blood libel? Futrelle’s right, this is a blast from the past.

I grew up in a town with a very large Polish population, many if not most of whom had emigrated just before WWII and most of whom were Catholic.

We also had an earlier German and German Jewish immigrant population. So many of us were the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of these immigrants, and even though we learned of the Holocaust in school, I didn’t really realize that anti-Semitism was such a long-running and deep-rooted thing until I was a young adult. It really didn’t “click” for a lot of us, for some reason, and it isn’t that our Jewish peers weren’t observant or anything. We certainly knew they were Jewish and understood some little bit about it.

I really don’t know why I was so surprised to learn about the depth of it -I remember I had to look up “anti-Semitism” even.

Maybe because our parents and grandparents were much more blatant racists against POC (this would’ve been in the 60s and 70s) and not so prejudiced against Jewish people.

The hamantaschen aren’t authentic unless they’re made with Christian blood, ya know. I read that on the internet. /s

Ooglyboggles, a few times?! Ugh. I’m sorry that happened to you.

@Mark

We do. And we’re proud to. I only wish I could donate more.

Dave Henderson:

I guess we’d be “labeling” you if we pointed out that suggesting that this site only opposes Nazi’s because its secretly founded by a Jewish conspiracy also makes you an Anti Semite.

@the recurrent troll currently going by “Dave Henderson”:

Who funds your website ?

@SFHC:

We do.

Yup. And guess what, “Dave”: you get to help! 🙂

I have just made an extra donation to WHTM in “honor” of your participation in this thread, and I hereby pledge to do the same for every one of these comment threads you show up in from here on. So keep those posts coming, “Dave”: your presence is earning WHTM more money!

Other Mammotheers are welcome to join me in the “Dave Henderson” WHTM Fund Drive, so “Dave” will know how much we appreciate him! (And so will the real David (Futrelle), without the sarcasm.)
