| Quote: | Web's ability to spark bigotry rattles ADL chief

PALM BEACH — The national director of the Anti-Defamation League speculated Friday that the Internet may be a major factor in growing anti-Semitism throughout the world.
"I'm becoming convinced more and more every day that the reason anti-Semitism is out there more is this highway, this transmitter belt," Abraham Foxman told about 350 people gathered for the ADL's national executive committee meeting, which runs through Sunday at The Breakers. "These blogs circulate it and reinforce it and so there's more of it."
While calling himself "a complete illiterate" who's only now learning about computers, Foxman said he's seen the potential for spreading hatred and bigotry online.
....
Anti-Semitism seems to have increased since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Foxman said.
Many people believe Israel was behind the attacks, he said. "This is a fact in at least a third of the world, if not more."
....
"I don't remember ever being so seriously concerned about the safety and security of my grandson." |
You have to cringe at the emotional content of that last statement. Anyone here got the same feeling about THEIR offspring in our poisonous world?

Well I might have known it would be 9/11 truths fault.
I echo his final sentiments. I worry about kids growing up in a world of thought crimes, devoid of free speach due to organisations like the ADL spouting abject rubbish like this. |

The phrase ‘anti Semitism’ is far to often only ever associated with Jewish people, when the word Semite refers to Arabs also. I suppose it is all part of the mass media brainwashing, predicated from the Ministry of Truth…
