10/11/2008: "Will Wall St. crisis spur anti-Semitism? Some Jews find cause for anxiety"
The ADL praised such sites for doing their best to delete anti-Semitic messages, though it cautioned that due to the volume and the free-for-all-nature of the Internet, comprehensive policing is nearly impossible.
Deborah Lauter, who heads the ADL's civil rights division, said that Yahoo! saw a significant decrease in anti-Semitic material following the release of the ADL report on Oct. 3.
"While we can't know for certain the exact reason for the decrease, we suspect it is due to action by Yahoo rather than any increased restraint by Finance Message Board members," Lauter wrote in an e-mail to JTA. "New problematic posts are almost non-existent and the majority problematic material posted since early September has been deleted."
[ "Money lender" is a euphemism for "Jew" - and that is no insult except to a paranoiac. It seems odd how eager they are all of a sudden to distance themselves from a profession that anyone with any knowledge of finance or history knows they have dominated for thousands of years. They can object to allegations that they are involved in scams, but hardly object to the observation they dominate banking. In fact that over-reaction only draws suspicion, like hysterically insisting you have no bodies hidden under the floorboards. ]
