And when the AP chose to report that the Dubai police commissioner said he would use “profiling” to “detect Israelis,” here’s what they wrote:

Dubai police will use voice and face profiling to detect Israelis arriving on foreign passports, the police chief said Monday.

[...] Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim said that now travelers suspected of being Israeli will not be allowed into the Gulf country even if they arrive on another passport.

[...] He did not explain what procedures would be used to identify the Israeli visitors, except that the police will “develop skills” to recognize Israelis by “physical features and the way they speak.”

Except that isn’t really what the police chief said. This is:

He said we will train our personnel in the passport of the forms and features of the Jewish people and their names, noting that no one can hide their features of Jewishness. He asked the appropriate departments to prepare nationality and residency sessions to familiarize the staff with [Jewish] forms and names, especially since most Jews hold dual passports [with Israel.]

As always, the world media whitewashes the naked anti-Semitism of the Arab world. The above could be taken directly from an official of Hitler’s Germany. But you wouldn’t know that from the mainstream media.

According to Emarat Al Youm, a newspaper published in the United Arab Emirates, Tamim urged Arab countries to thoroughly check any Jewish person who carries a non-Israeli passport in order to “prevent Mossad’s infiltrations”.

Substitute “Islamic” and “Arab” for “Jewish” and “non-Israeli,” and you’d have the United Nations issuing resolutions against Dubai, human rights groups calling for the resignation of the police chief who said such a thing, and the entire world up in arms.

But since he’s talking about a Jewish conspiracy, and he’s an Arab, you will get: Nothing. The naked anti-Semitism of the Arab and Muslim world has been ignored for decades.

And so, based on the thousands of comments and emails I’ve read over the years, both here and on other blogs and media sites, I present The Blogger’s Guide to Anti-Semitic Comments Trolls. Below are the some of the types of anti-Israel commenters I’ve identified over the years, but the list is by no means complete.

The garden-variety neo-Nazi Jew-hater: Yadda yadda Jews die, yadda yadda Jews suck, yadda yadda Jews control the world, yadda yadda bankers, kikes, money, world media, ZOG, yadda yadda, yadda yadda. These are the Stormfront community Jew-haters who have never been able to figure out why their life sucks so bad, so they blame the Jews. (Here’s a tip: Look in the mirror. It’s all your fault, bubelahs. There is no vast Jewish conspiracy that made you stupid and talentless; you did that all by yourself. Oh, and God doesn’t love you, either. He told me so himself at the last ZOG meeting.)

The Faux Jew: This one is usually fairly easy to spot. The Faux Jew is often a neo-Nazi fresh from a stint at Stormfront, where he and his buddies have just discussed what they think Jews really think. He comes to my blog to pretend to be a Jew so he can trap me with his wily Faux Jew comment. He adds “stein” to a last name that generally doesn’t sound Jewish at all. He will use “Moshe” or “Hesh” or “Abe” or another name that he thinks is typically Jewish. (For some reason, these creeps never use Murray or Harry or Josh. Oh, wait. The reason is they’re effing morons and don’t really know anything about Jews.)

The Faux Jew likes to pretend to be a bloodthirsty, bigoted asshat who puts up gleeful comments about the death of Palestinians. He uses the word “goyim” a lot (because he thinks that all Jews, when talking among ourselves, use the word “goyim” a lot, always in a derogatory fashion). Over the years, I’ve come to realize that what they want me to do is publish their comment and then say, “Right on, Fellow Jew!” Because, you know, that’s what we do. A quick test to see if your Faux Jew is Stormfront material: If you substitute the word “Jew” for “goyim” in his comment, the true (and ugly) face of the Faux Jew will appear.

Sometimes, the Faux Jew uses faux quotes by real Jews. A quick check on Google will show you that the quote is fabricated, taken completely out of context, or originates on a neo-Nazi website, and is referenced only by neo-Nazi websites. That’s your clue that the commenter is probably a regular at the Stormfront Annual Picnic in East Podunk, Idaho. (I hear the fifty spots for next year’s picnic are filling up fast; reserve now.) The Faux Jew will also use Yiddish words, misspelled and misused. If your commenter sounds like he picked up Yiddish by watching Mike Myers on Saturday Night Live, he’s a Faux Jew. Ban him.

The last strain of Faux Jew is a little harder to detect. I had one that took me a while figure out, but something about the troll kept sitting wrong with me from the get-go. The Faux Jews that work really hard at it will use Hebrew words and throw in Torah quotes. The dead giveaway there is that Christians will almost always apply the principles of the religion that they learned growing up—Christianity. Believe me when I tell you that to a Jew who is even semi-observant, it’s really noticeable. This type of Faux Jew uses Christian dogma without realizing it. Also, it’s really hard to fake being an observant Jew. The dead giveaway: Posting on Shabbat. That happens more often than you’d think, because most anti-Semitic comments trolls are not all that bright.

The Mikey Rivero Wannabes: Mikey Rivero runs the execrable and anti-Semitic “What Really Happened” website. The man is positively obsessed with bashing Jews and Israel, and he writes (and runs) long-winded, boring articles that purport to prove just how evil, vicious, and inhuman Jews and Israelis really are. The Mikey Rivero Wannabe will post long-winded, boring articles that s/he finds on various anti-Semitic websites. S/he is especially fond of reposting articles by Norman Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky. The Wannabes have never yet gotten past my moderation policy; their comments are deleted as soon as I see the comment page scrolling off the screen.

The Intolerant Atheist: This comments troll likes to pretend that s/he hates all religions equally, but after the opening salvo, s/he goes on and on about the evil Jews who think that Israel should be a Jews-only country. That’s the tic that gives them away: They never seem to notice that there are large populations of Israeli Arabs and Christians right there in that Jews-only state. Nor do they seem overly upset about the Islamic-only nations in the world. No, the only religion that bothers them seems to be Judaism. I wonder why that is? (Not really. See title.)

The “I’m an Anti-Zionist, Not An Anti-Semite” Troll: This one insists, over and over again, that s/he has nothing against Jews, it’s just Israel that s/he can’t stand. While defending this stand, however, the anti-Jewish remarks always seem to just slip out. These are also the trolls who make it a point to preface all of their remarks with “Of course you’re going to call me an anti-Semite for criticizing Israel.” This sort of troll spreads out into the mainstream (cf: Walt, Mearsheimer, Carter).

The David Duke/Pat Buchanan/Ron Paul Defenders: It is absolutely astonishing how fast the defenders of these three stooges come out of the woodwork. It’s zero to Jew-hate in no time at all. The mere fact that I posted their names here will bring out their supporters in droves, and as soon as they get a quick look at this post, they will leave their vile remarks for me to moderate (and add to my troll file for future use; I never approve these idiots’ comments).

The “Just The Facts, Ma’am” Irritant: This troll thinks that civilian vs. soldier casualty counts are more important than, say, the number of Israelis killed and wounded by kassam rockets. The word “genocide” gets thrown around a lot in relation to the Palestinians, even though if Israel is conducting genocide against them, it’s the worst genocide ever, what with there being only a few thousand deaths since 1948 (even including the War of Independence) and the growth of the Palestinian population since then. Comparisons with actual genocides, such as the destruction of two-thirds of Europe’s Jewry, fall upon deaf ears with this troll.

The Really Annoying Moron Who Think This Blog Is A Democracy Troll: They’re not really anti-Semitic, they’re just effing annoying. They blather on and on about how the author refuses to allow dissenting opinions, when what they really mean is that I don’t write what they want me to write. And when directed to my No Israel-Bashing Zone post, they melt down into fits of incoherent rage. I suspect they all have control issues. I suspect that I really don’t care.

That’s about all I can think of for now. I know I’ve missed a few troll types, but I can revisit this theme at a later date. In closing, I would like to direct all the anti-Semitic trolls reading this post to the Yourish.com mantra: Anti-Semites of the world, just die already. Preferably soon.

Israel’s moral stature is crumbling by the day, Meryl. Even former hasbara diehards like Jeffrey Goldberg and Tom Friedman are leaving the rat infested sinking ship (The Jewish Homeland). Do you really want to stay on board with moonbats like Pamela Geller and Leon “anti-Semite!” Wieseltier?

Besides the lies that Goldberg and Friedman are abandoning Israel (they most assuredly are not), he brings up a theme that the Israel haters bring up constantly. If the whole world is against you, you must be wrong.

No. We’re not wrong.

Rabbi Dov Fischer wrote an essay in response to that very sentiment by Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations, who said in 2002:

The whole world is demanding that Israel withdraw. I don’t think the whole world, including the friends of the Israeli people and government, can be wrong.

Here is part of Rav Fischer’s response:

At this moment in time, many Jews who love and support Israel hear the soft voice within, asking the question to which Kofi Annan recently alluded in Madrid: Can we alone be right, while the whole world around is wrong?

[...] We have confronted the question many times. The whole world was polytheistic, and we alone preached belief in one God. We preached a Day of Rest, and the whole ancient world mocked us as lazy people. We were right, and the whole world was wrong. They said we crucified a Jew — as if the Romans would have allowed any of its subjects to do such a thing, as if Jews ever had such a punishment in our code — and we insisted such a thing was beyond impossible. We were right, and the whole world was wrong. In the Middle Ages, the whole world said that we use children’s blood to make matzo; we denied it. They said that we poisoned the wells of Europe, and we denied it. We were right, and the whole world was wrong. The Crusades. The blood libels and Talmud burnings in England and France, leading those nations to expel Jews for centuries. The Spanish and Portuguese Inquisition. The ghettoes and the Mortara case in Italy. Dreyfus in France. Beilis in Russia and a century’s persecution of Soviet Jewry. The Holocaust. Kurt Waldheim in Austria. Each time, Europe stood by silently — or actively participated in murdering us — and we alone were right, and the whole world was wrong.

Read it all. It’s a reminder that the more things change, the more they stay the same. There are now, and have always been, those who hate Israel simply because she is the state of the Jews. Look again at what the troll wrote. Look at the derision in his description of Israel as a “rat-infested sinking ship.” That is the underlying reason for Israel’s vilification in the world. If it were a state of any other people, it would not generate a fraction of the attention—and hatred—that is generated. Israel was right in 2002—and has been proven so. And Israel is right today.

It’s the whole world that is wrong.

Actually, film director Jonathan Demme is preparing a full length feature docudrama on Goldstone Facts in time for the Cannes Film Festival. In addition, Nelson Mandela and Anthony Hopkins will (along with Vachon who voices many Hollywood movie trailers) provide some of the narration. Let’s see…you’ve got that matinee idol Alan Dershowitz on your side, and God knows what other bozos. Israel’s moral stature is crumbling by the day, Meryl. Even former hasbara diehards like Jeffrey Goldberg and Tom Friedman are leaving the rat infested sinking ship (The Jewish Homeland). Do you really want to stay on board with moonbats like Pamela Geller and Leon “anti-Semite!” Wieseltier?

The comment simply demands to be dissected. Let’s start with the most obvious: There is no such documentary planned. The whole basis of Alan’s argument starts and ends with a lie. Note that there are no links to the supposed docudrama project. A quick Google search tells you why. You won’t find a thing about Jonathan Demme planning a docudrama on the Goldstone report, or anything remotely related to Israel. I’m going to take a wild guess that “Alan Fox” came here as a result of Snoopy linking that pathetic “Goldstone Facts” site. He’s one of their authors, possibly, and not one of their smarter ones. Alan couldn’t read the byline before directing his comments at me. Hey, genius: Snoopy wrote the post. (But of course, I hold with everything he said about that pathetic site.)

Now let’s head to the rest of his anti-Israel arguments:

Even former hasbara diehards like Jeffrey Goldberg and Tom Friedman are leaving

Really? Jeffrey Goldberg has deserted Israel? I think not.

I’ve been writing since 2004 that Israel will one day be considered an apartheid state if it continues to rule over a population of Arabs that doesn’t want to be ruled by Israelis. That is why it is vital for Israel to establish permanent, internationally-recognized borders that more-or-less adhere to the 1967 border. Unlike Andrew, I believe that Israel has tried to free itself from ruling these Palestinians (the pull-out from Gaza is an example, as is Ehud Olmert’s recent, unanswered offer to the Palestinians to pull out from virtually 100 percent of the West Bank). But the reality remains: It will be very dangerous for Israel to engineer this pull-back, but it will be, over time, fatal for it to stay in the West Bank.

Those are not the words of a man who is deserting Israel. These are the words of a man who is gravely concerned about Israel’s existence. Again, we find nothing but lies in Alan’s comment. I could probably find you a fair amount of recent Friedman quotes as well, but I’ve got better things to do with my time. The onus is on the accuser to bring the proof. But you won’t see Alan back here for several reasons. First, he is a liar, so he has no concrete facts to back up his arguments. And second, I decided that I don’t want him hanging around and adding more anti-Israel bile to my site, so his comment is now unapproved and soon to be deleted. My No Israel-Bashing Zone rule is still in effect.

Now, as to the last part of his comment:

Do you really want to stay on board with moonbats like Pamela Geller and Leon “anti-Semite!” Wieseltier?

You know, I don’t agree with much of what Pamela writes on her blog. In fact, I’d have to say that I disagree with nearly all of it. But she’s not wrong on Israel. Leon Weiseltier? I’ve had my disagreements with him as well. But he’s not wrong on Israel. There are many, many pro-Israel bloggers with whom I disagree about nearly everything. But they’re not wrong about Israel.

You know who is wrong on Israel? Assholes like Alan, whose hatred of Jews simply drips venom into every word and lie he writes. Desert Israel, because people whose opinions I don’t like are Zionists? What a stupid question. Am I a Jew? Is this not in the Torah?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither, let my tongue cleave to my palate if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy.

A “rat-infested sinking ship”? No, the most moral army in the world.

Mr. President, based on my knowledge and experience, I can say this: During Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli Defence Forces did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare.

The rat, here, would be “Alan Fox.” And I’m quite content for him to slip away and bring his plague-infested fleas somewhere else. I think Stormfront is holding the door open for him.

At this time, I would like to call out a chorus of the Yourish.com mantra: Anti-Semites of the world, just die already.

The sooner the better.

The Harper government risks sparking a backlash against Israel and Canada’s Jewish community by taking a hard-line, with-us-or-against-us stand with groups that are critical of Israel, opposition MPs say.

Actually, it’s one MP, Anita Neville.

She told Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, who is responsible for multiculturalism policies, that some of the tough words of government spokesmen could spark an “anti-Semitic response.”

Got that? A strong support of Israel will cause Canadians to attack Jews. So it isn’t, say, the fault of the Jew-haters. It’s because the Tories are supporting Israel.

It sounds to me like a classic case of projection by Neville.

Ms. Neville, however, told reporters that she worries that people who believe Kairos does good work are questioning whether the Jewish community, or a pro-Israel government, is responsible for cutting off funding to an aid organization they believe in.

Kairos was not defunded. It was denied a grant for various reasons, one of which was supporting viciously anti-Israel groups. But now it’s going to be a hobby horse for the politicians like Neville, whose support for Israel I have to question. How solid is support when you can blame a rise in anti-Semitism on support of Israel? What bullshit. What utter, utter bullshit.

Ding, dong the bill is dead: Which old bill? The healthcare bill. Ding dong, the healthcare bill is dead. Hi ho the merry-o, sing it high, sing it low, this is rich, the healthcare bill is dead!

I know, it’s a shock—no timely Palestinian elections: Of course they didn’t hold new parliamentary elections. Hamas would lose Gaza, at least in name, and the PA wouldn’t do so well in the West Bank. But there is no such thing as an Arab democracy anywhere in the world, so why would anyone be surprised?

Is that the smell of old-fashioned Polish Jew-hatred? Why yes, yes it is. Polish Catholic, no less, and from a bishop, no less. It’s nothing that hasn’t been said before.

Accusing Jews of “intolerable arrogance,” he said they “enjoy good press because they are supported by powerful financial means, enormous power and the unconditional backing of the United States.”

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Time for the Yourish.com mantra: Anti-Semites of the world, just die already. Retired Polish bishops included.

When is a precondition not a precondition? When the Palestinians say it isn’t. Abbas says he’s not insisting on preconditions, but he won’t talk peace until there’s a complete freeze on “settlements.” Uh-huh. Say, if I say a piece of green paper is a twenty dollar bill, think I can convince a cashier to take it?

I hate British Nazis: Apparently, the theft of the Auschwitz sign was done at the behest of a British neo-Nazi. The proceeds of the sale were to go to neo-Nazi hate attacks in Sweden. Boy, was I wrong in thinking it was just really stupid thieves. It was really stupid British Jew-haters.

Occupation isn’t occupation when Arabs are doing the occupying: The Dead Sea Scrolls, clearly artifacts of Israel’s Jewish heritage, were recovered from Jordan’s grasp in the Six-Day War. They are currently on display in Canada. Jordan wants Canada to seize them under the Hague Convention, insisting that Israel should hand back the “cultural artifacts” because it is occupying east Jerusalem, and an occupier is not allowed to steal the cultural artifacts of the occupied. This begs the question: When Jordan was occupying the West Bank and took the rest of the scrolls, was it not doing exactly what it now accuses Israel of doing? Of course it was. This is yet another example of the famed projection of Arab nations on Israeli behavior. Read the article in full to see the utter hypocrisy of the PA and Jordan regarding these scrolls of the Torah, a book which the Arabs utterly disdain.

Ew! Jew cooties! An Iranian soccer official resigned because someone in his office sent new year’s greetings to Israel. But it’s not anti-Semitism, it’s anti-Zionism.

There’s never an expiration date on neo-Nazi anti-Jewish “humor“: I just love the “just kidding” excuse. It’s a one size fits all. Why, you can even use it after comments calling for the genocide of Jews are found on a popular Australian high school networking site. Oh, those kids. So funny. “Back in the old country people would see the Jew and spit on him. How society and worlds have changed where the Jew now has power.” That’s a knee-slapper, boy. Get it? Get it? It’s a joke! The swastika as the guy’s avatar? It’s funny, man, it’s funny! (Actually, that single comment explains in a nutshell why Israel is so loathed. How dare we not know our place in the world? Yeah? Eff you, Jew-haters. Sucks to be you.)

No Shalit for you! I know you’re all shocked to hear that Hamas is once more turning down the prisoner swap because Israel won’t release enough mass murderers. It’s not official yet, but they want the mastermind of the Netanya massacre (for instance), and Israel doesn’t think he should be set free. Go figure.

It’s the fact that they had to sue in the first place that’s most telling: Malaysian Christians can now legally use the word “Allah” when referring to God. The reason the court case came about in the first place is that they were forbidden to use it because Christians are not Muslims. Yeah, that’s one tolerant religion. Forcibly converting Coptic Christians, bombing churches, forbidding infidels from using the word “Allah”—why, they’re about as tolerant as Communist countries were of individual freedoms. Oh. Wait.

If a mortar is fired from Gaza, and nobody reports it… Another mortar fired from Gaza. Another non-event by the world media.

Muslim ERA Watch: 77% of the women in Gaza have experienced violence inflicted by—Palestinians. More than half of the women surveyed said they experienced physical violence. Such nice boys. You’d want to bring one home to father. Or he’d beat you.

“We believe that this unpleasant incident in the center of the capital could have been avoided if the menorah had been placed near a memorial for victims of the Holocaust,” the church’s statement said, according to a report Monday by the Interfax news agency, reported UCSJ: Union of Councils for Jews in the Former Soviet Union.

What pleasant people. I guess they’re from the school that believes the only good Jew is a dead Jew. But wait. There’s more.

The church’s statement said it disagreed with the form of the protest, and that the church respects “the feelings and belief of other “cults” that are legally registered on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, and expects a similar attitude from their side,” according to the report.

“At the same time,” the statement continued, “we think it inappropriate to put a symbol of the Jewish cult in a public place connected to the history and faith of our people, especially because Chanukah is classified by the cult books of Judaism as a ‘holiday of blessing’ that symbolizes the victory of Jews over non-Jews.”

See, they respect the “cults” of other religions, but it’s not appropriate to display symbols of those “cults” where the good Christians of Moldova can see them.

Ask me again why the state of Israel is necessary. Tell me again how this is a post-Zionist world, where Jews are safe to practice their religion. Yeah. Really. Like in Jew-hating countries like Moldova?

Shyeah.

By the way, to the Jew-haters in the Orthodox Christian church of Moldova, I want to send out a hearty Yourish.com mantra: Anti-Semites of the world, just die already. It’s my Christmas present to you all. Choke on it.
