Anti Semitic Post of the Day Oct 14th, 2010

October 15th, 2010 - Update - The exchange has been scrubbed. Even though my post was not offensive it was deleted, unlike in Banh and Soma99's case where they scrubbed Soma99 post, but not Banh.

This is taking place as I type this entry, at the Huffington Post and the link to the article is right here. It goes without saying that the comment section again is plagued with heavily antisemitic posts, this one though takes the prize:

As anyone who is familiar with the history of Jewish people would understand, this is precisely why Israel exists today.

This is the direct link to the post.

Portrait of an anti semite

Audadvnc is a member since 2009, known for his short somewhat snappy comments, stands out for his blatant paranoia and irrational fear of Jews, here are a few self explanatory examples:

His response to Rick Sanchez being fired for his bigoted remarks:

Audadvnc comment about $900 Million in aid money to the Palestinians, financing terrorism.

Audadvnc comment regarding the new Israeli Loyalty Oath

And the prize winner of the Anti Semite award of the week goes to:

Abuse of Power - Follow up

Last night, I received the following e-mail from the Huffington Post moderation team:




I have never complained anywhere, or to anyone that Sharmaine removes her posts.

My beef in this particular case is not with deletions, but with endless *demonizations* of the Israelis and Jews. How it's the norm for authors like Sharmaine Narwani and MJ Rosenberg, but when it's dished back (without any violations of TOS), the comments are mercilessly flagged and the moderators of the Huffington post delete them.

In other words, the mods play favorites.

Why have the Terms of Service if it wont be adhered to, or adhered and enforced ONLY when it's suitable?

Abuse of Power

The ever delightfully pleasant Ms. Sharmain Narwani, this time, dehumanizing the Settlers of West Bank, claiming that they are deliberately used as human shields. In fact, she posted that the parents of children in the WB are irresponsible and the children should be taken away, because the children are being put in harms way on purpose.

Needless to say, I responded in kind, and here is what I said:

The argument is logical valid, and most importantly not against the Terms of Service. Yet within minutes, an onslaught of personal attacks commenced. The post though, never violated the terms of service has been scrubbed.

Have a look at these screen shots, how every single post after mine has been in violation of the terms of service, but all got faved, while mine got flagged.

I raised the issue of this abuse in the Huffington Post's article on: HuffPost Comments: Addressing Concerns About Our Community Moderator Badge.

Here is what I said.

Needless to say, they still scrubbed the post with no explanation as to why.

It seems that it's okay to paint Israelis and Jews as less than human, but when it's done back, the gang mentality rules.

Alex Young Shows her 21 Year Old Punk Face again.

This time, after about a week long hiatus, our lovely multiple personalities friend known as Alex Young, Majed Mazin, resurfaced again, I was thinking that this time our 21 year old troubled punk who dreams of large Arab penises and isn't afraid to claim it on the Huffington Post is at it again. This time, her "pearls of wisdom" were dropped in the comment section of the article discussing the firing of Rick Sanchez from CNN:

This is a direct link to her post.

Post of the day, typical for Huffington Post

The above is an example of a typical Huffington Post comment in the Israel section of the website. A call for bombing Israel five flags and all, is still up there. And the Huffington Post claims that they moderate their forums and do not tolerate abusive language.

Update as of 10/4/2010, the post was finally removed.

For the life of me, I am unable to find the link to the article that I read a couple of months ago about the demographic make up of the Huffington Post readership.  The article focused on how the Mission statement of the Huffington Post has nothing to do with what actually is happening in their comments section, how Talk Backers that dissent without violating the Terms of Service in the face of blatant antisemitism get banned on regular basis, while the offending TalkBackers who post blatantly antisemitic posts and violate the Terms of Service remain for years.  The article talked about the specific demographic make up of the readership of the Middle East/Israel/Gaza, that amongst the regulars there are over 300,000 are registered users from the 22 Islamic countries, that the other large group is from Canada UK and other smaller European nations  and only a very small minority is from the US.

Unfortunately I can not find it, I wonder if it was taken down "by force". 

Regardless, here is a website that monitors hits and demographics of most online media sources:

Huffington Post Readership Demographic Make Up

The Adventerous Ms.Sharmain Narwani

Sharmain Narwani is a blogger on the Huffington Post, infamous for her blatant antisemitism, this is her latest installment in a news clip from September 22nd,2010 regarding the findings of the investigation into the Flotilla event, remember, Sharmaine publishes her antisemitic drivel on the Huffington and generally attracts the antisemitic contingent. 

Israel Flotilla Violation Raid

 

Here is a link to the actual comment:

Denial of Israel's existence.

Antisemitic post of the day

Original Article in which this took place - The Last Summit

Notice the five references to Nazis! Does it get anymore less factual, and more antisemitic? I guarantee that this post will stand and the Huffington Post Moderators will not remove it!

An attempt to silence the truth

Sept 22, 2010, my post was deleted as I suspected, it's important to note that it violated no Terms of Use! 

Anyone that is familiar with the Middle East conflict, is well aware of the late 1800's and early 1900's violence against the Jews in what today is Israel the West Bank and Hebron.  There is no dispute of the torture that the Ottoman's put the Jews through ranging from expulsions, to freezing immigration, to turning a blind eye to the Arabs raiding Jewish villages and killing Jews simply because they were Jews. 

Israel Warns Of Palestinian Violence If Peace Talks Fail is a news piece published by the Huffington Post earlier today.  Here is my original post in response, please note the five flags (I'm certain there will be more).

It is very important to note that nothing in the post that I posted is against the Terms of Service, it is entirely factual, yet the Antisemites are busy exercising their index finger obsessively.   Sad and reflective of how antisemitism is permitted to raise it's ugly head again.

Alex Young

Alex Young is now known as Majed Majin.  Also goes under other monikers not worthy of mention.  But the story of this individual is a bit disturbing.  There a many many examples of this individual's antisemitic ways, objection to the existence of Israel, and inciting hatred toward Israel amongst the regular commentators of the Huffington Post.  This is a most recent example.  The topic of discussion is  U.S. Soldiers Killed Afghan Civilians For Sport, Dismembered Bodies.  I expressed my outrage at such a behavior:

Majed Majin aka Alex Young couldn't help "himself" and followed up with:

All the links are pointing to articles that describe how IDF "abuses" the Palestinians.
