This seems as relevant here as at "Are the Jews good for Obama," doesn't it?

If the zionist right wants anti-Semitism, it explains people like electro robot.

When I recommended M. J. Rosenberg's May 16 article, at

http://www.ipforum.org/display.cfm?id=6&Sub=15

which argues that the zionist right is stoking the fires of anti-Semitic hatred, I said that its author was not so wicked as to suggest they are doing it deliberately, but I remnded connoisseurs of Herzl of the infamous statement in his diaries, "Anti-Semites will become our surest friends, anti-Semitic countries our allies."

Now there are thousands of electro robot type zionist right trolls, infesting threads like this all over the world, and they all get away with what they do, because everyone assumes that they do not in fact want to stoke the fires of anti-Semitic hatred, but are being sarcastic, in the hope of shaming anti-Semites into silence.

However, if they genuinely desire to provoke the most extreme anti-Semitic hatred, not even as a means to expose the haters to the recriminations of their peers, or go tale-bearing about them to third parties (this would be the normal function of the provocateur) but instead they desire to provoke rabid anti-Semitic hatred as an end in itself, because it is the food or fuel of right zionism - because right zionism eats this hatred and becomes stronger - then their behaviour makes sense.

Rifrif : what year is this? and what country is Iran?

hint for those who have had their ears blocked to Netanyahu's propaganda for the last two decades : the year is always 1938, and the country in the crosshairs is always Germany.

william, it only happens here at Salon

I visit thousands of sites a week, and it happens nowhere else. There is nothing wrong with my system software or hardware wise.

take the william krystol challenge

I read the whole thing in one go, when I was first directed to it. But I also read all 33 pages of the WaPo responses to Kathleen Parker. I think I am trying to make up for my general unacquaintance with the non-Jewish aspects of US politics, but forcing myself to wade through all the muck. This effort on my part is a testimony to how much I like you all, or almost all.

Ok, never mind, thanks. etc

I did notify the webmasters or webmistresses at salon.com a few days ago, but, however the code for it gets into the Salon.com pages, it is the user's own browser that is supposed to block pop-ups.

I've put a query on the Firefox support forums about the pop-under, and I am sure they will be able to tell me how to do it. Generally, Firefox compile their own lists of blocked pop-up URLS and add it to the updates they send out to Firefox users. This is unlike MS Explorer browser, where you can add to your own blocked sites list at will.
