Google & Anti-Semitism

News Anonymous Coward writes "Google’s #1 listing for more and more search terms is being captured by anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi web-sites. In April 2004 the “jewwatch" incident was widely publicized. When Steve Weinstock entered the search term "Jew" on Google, the world's leading search engine, the openly anti-Jewish web-site http://www.jewwatch.info appeared as the very first listing! Mr. Weinstock launched a campaign - at http://www.removejewwatch.com - to remove that site from the top spot. He initially succeeded, but the site soon regained the first position before again losing it. It appears to be an ongoing battle. Since May 2004 Google's #1 listing for "Rabbi Jokes" shows neo-nazi Gary Lauck’s site http://www.nazi-lauck-nsdapao.com . The 20-language site has cartoon animations of leading Jewish figures, free nazi computer game downloads, holocaust denial books and the nazi film “The Eternal Jew”."

    The "second amendment rights" folks do the same... (Score:1)

    The folks who think the second amendment grants rights to individuals rather than to the states similarly flood the internet with lots of little cross-linked websites to make Google rate them higher.

    Do a Google search on the "second amendment" sometime.

    Basically, any group who wants to make themselves seem mainstream to help them convince converts plays this sort of game.

    Of course, another part of it is that most folks who are Jewish call themselves "Jewish", not "a Jew", so looking for the shorter term generally finds you folks who are not Jewish, who are talking about people who are.

    Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition. - Isaac Asimov
