Fatty Pollard is, as usual, seeing anti-Semites here, there and everywhere, particularly at the Gruaniad. Guido usually finds the incessant complaints of Melanie Phillips and Pollard tiresomely obsessive. Most of the anti-semitism of the left seems (with a few nasty exceptions) to be really anti-zionism and anti-capitalism (they control the banks!)

But after the piece on Lord Levy yesterday (the Sleaze Master General) the comments section of this blog was over-run with dozens of unpleasant snide posters, making not very subtle comments. Just so those retards understand, the piece was critical of Levy’s shenanigans, not his religion or his ethnicity. (Guido is in any case a supporter of the state of Israel and the IDF assassinating terrorists who seek to destroy the only Western democracy in the region.) Maybe Mel and Polly get this kind of treatment every day, which would confirm their view that anti-semities are everywhere. They certainly seem to be making concerted use of the comments sections of the Guardian’s blogs, which are not moderated and instead rely on a “report abuse” system. Tom Happold needs to be quicker at dealing with reported abuse.

FYI : Guido’s policy is to delete whatever comments he feels like if they irritate him, the comment makers got wise to this and started posting in the comments section in various different names, including Guido’s own.
