Samira Ibrahim was scheduled to receive an award yesterday from First Lady Michelle Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry honoring her as one of the "International Women of Courage". But that was before the State Department became aware of a number of tweets that Ibrahim had sent out endorsing Hitler quotes and…
Twitter trending topics are often a great cross-section of racism, homophobia, and misogyny, but one of today's most popular hashtags has taken things to a delightful new level.
Frequent readers of National Review Online's The Corner might have stumbled over this odd foreign word in contributor Michael Walsh's column about Chief Justice John Roberts: Dolchstoss, which Walsh uses to refer to Roberts' ruling that the Affordable Care Act is constitutional. Literally translated, Dolchstoss means…
On Monday, we told you about the Anti-Semitic Elmo of Central Park. We knew little at the time, except that he hated Jews and wanted to make sure everyone knew—while wearing an Elmo costume. Now the New York Times has dug up the completely unsurprising disturbing backstory of the guy.
"Why do people hate Jews?" Business Insider's Henry Blodget asks ("it's a serious question"), following in the grand tradition of the sages at Yahoo Answers. "Hitler, for example, hated the Jews so much that he murdered 6 million of them," Blodget points out.
The American Nazi Party has registered its first-ever Capitol Hill lobbyist, a 55-year-old South Carolina paralegal named John Taylor Bowles. Bowles chatted with us by phone from his Greenville-area home (he will commute to D.C.) about his legislative goals, the time he ran for president, and his desire to work with…
After three teenage girls left dog poop and antisemitic syrup graffiti in front of the home of a classmate whose grandparents are holocaust survivors, actor/comedian/critic Jon Lovitz sprung into action.
It's the inverse of Godwin's law: As a Tea Party discussion grows longer, the probability of anti-semitism approaches one. It appears we just reached that moment in the discussion of Sandra Fluke, the "slut" who ignited a right-wing witch hunt by daring to discuss her health insurance plan in public.
There is a very rural New England debate raging in the small town of Mont Vernon, N.H. (pop. 2,400), this week, as residents prepare to vote over whether or not to change the name of a local, manmade body of water named "Jew Pond."
The release of images of U.S. Marines with a Nazi SS flag has forced the U.S. Marine Corps to announce two things: First, that it does not condone the use of Nazi iconography. Second, that it is possible to have "no malicious intent" when displaying the SS symbol because some Marines have reinterpreted it to symbolize…
The U.S. Marine Corps is sorry that ten of its members posed with a Nazi SS flag in Afghanistan, then posted the pictures on a blog. It was all an innocent misunderstanding, a military spokesperson tells the Associated Press:
Last September, York University student Sarah Grunfeld accused her Jewish professor of anti-Semitism after failing to grasp that he was expressing an outrageous opinion to illustrate a point, rather than as a true statement of his beliefs. Sarah, who was roundly mocked for this, believes she is the real victim in…
An eagle-eyed reader snapped a picture of these earrings that are for sale at the Bejeweled store (think a busted version of Claire's) on Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. They are swastikas. There was only one pair left.
Earlier today, we wrote about the Papa John's employee who wrote "lady chinky eyes" on an Asian-American customer's receipt and asked readers to share their weird-receipt and fast-food racism tales. We got a bunch—including a third, trend-completing incident of anti-Asian fast-food racism, a waiter using receipts as a…
Media Matters points out that Andrew Breitbart's site "Big Journalism" has now used the same anti-Semitic cartoon (from a 1934 issue of the satirical German magazine Kladderadatsch) twice to illustrate "media bias." I'm just a libtard, so maybe there's some kind of irony I'm missing here?
Last week, a billboard touting Wodka brand vodka's winning combination of "Christmas Quality" and "Hanukkah Pricing" appeared over Manhattan, only to be taken down less than 24 hours later. On tonight's Report, Stephen Colbert went the unexpected route and actually decried the advertisement's offensiveness—but not…
Less than 24 hours after making its debut alongside a Manhattan highway, Wodka vodka's anti-Semiticky billboard has been pulled down and converted into a "crumpled heap near the road," the New York Times reports. Now how will sophisticated dogs learn about America's hottest cheap-as-the-Jews spirit?
An alert reader sends us this photo of a Wodka™ brand Vodka billboard located on the West side of Manhattan, overlooking Riverside Drive. "CHRISTMAS QUALITY. HANUKKAH PRICING," it says. And there's a Santa dog, representing Christian quality, and a Jew dog, representing Hanukkah pricing, because the Jews are…
It seems like every time the powers that be release a new nugget of history from Richard Nixon's noxious crypt, it contains a choice anti-Semitic moment. But this time, it's not Nixon's vivid and vulgar Jew-hatred on display. It's Henry Kissinger (a Jew!) calling his people the most "self-serving group of people" on…
One week after the Jewish neighborhood of Midwood, Brooklyn, saw three cars torched, "KKK" spray-painted on a van, and swastikas scrawled on two libraries and a synagogue, comes news of a defaced sign at the Avenue J subway station. It read, "Avenue Jew." I guess everyone's a lot a bit racist. [Daily News]
