"They [Jews] love money nothing else."

Shocking, revolting and racist charges.

Then it says, "Please give us money so we can fight the anti-Semitic charge that Jews only care about money."

Am I the only one who sees something wrong here?

Of course we need an ADL, but money can't solve all problems, believe it or not, and the most effective political and social action is free.

The people who are posting these racist messages are doing it for free. If the ADL really cares about anti-Semitism, if you care about anti-Semitism, you can fight it for free in the same way. Volunteer action and grass roots activism are the best way, and perhaps the only way, to fight for political causes. Money is needed, but money can't be the main motivator. Would you believe a person who is paid $100,000 a year to fight anti-Semitism? I wouldn't.

Jewish charity has a long and honored tradition. Teachers and rabbis must be paid. Money can buy food and shelter for orphans and refugees. Towns burned down in pogroms could be rebuilt by money, and arms can be bought by money. But anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism can't be fought only by giving money or by those who take the money. In democracies, causes are fought and won by people who believe in them, not by mercenaries. And anti-Semitism cannot be fought by Jews alone. There has to be an outreach effort. There is not much point talking to Jews about anti-Semitism, is there?

Put away your check books. Get on the Web and find those message boards. Get active in fighting anti-Semitism.

Until Jewish and Zionist organizations learn to do grass roots organization and outreach, we are going to keep on losing the battle.

"Jews are greedy, rotten slime balls."
"[Jews have] infiltrated Wall Street and Government and have ruined our country."
"They [Jews] love money nothing else, no faith or religion can be so heartless to their victims."
"That's how they work they short the stock all the way making billions and then cover it right up, sell and then taxpayers to the rescue and it is true all those institutions are ran by Jews …"
