[quote=Anonymous]""Remove each and every Jew from state and federal governments and financial organizations" "Jews destroy the US financially": I am not sure what type of actual viewpoint the flyer is promoting (if not the type Nazis and Italian fascists had - people attacked only based on their ethnicity (not just religion, since being atheists or Catholics did not save many people of Jewish ancestry from the gas chambers). you are also wrong that this type of flyers do not promote violence (look at the various white supremacist sites where attacks against Jews are justified as a sort of self defense against alleged actions by "Jews" working to bankrupt the US and its citizen). I don't see it as more justified than Geller at all, just two pieces of junk."

It appears to me that someone is not dividing the issue clearly enough.  Pamela Geller is pointing out that some Moslems have used violence against what is humorous.  She is quite correct in noticing that.  Using an approach that needlessly inflames hatred or puts people who are not directly concerned at risk is a foolish error, but not much more.

Anti-Semitism is quite ugly stuff.  It is fundamentally wrong.  By itself it is inflammatory.  It should certainly be noted and discouraged.  I am inclined to name and shame those who do such things.  I would also note that while it is a central tenet of some forms of Islam, it is very widespread and by no means limited to Moslems.[/quote]
