Subject: RE: ALERT! anti-semitism on a dictionary site

Regarding anti-Semitism on mainstream internet sites, like the dictionary 
example on today's etni digest:

A recent edition of The Jerusalem Report magazine featured an article on 
this same topic. I believe it was the Simon Weisenthal Center that has a 
department devoted to vigilantly monitoring this kind of phenomenon. They 
constantly check the editing of public sites such as wikipedia.  (Anyone can 
re-edit on these online sites, and someone with a hateful political agenda 
has done just that on this dictionary site.)  I'm sure the Simon Weisenthal 
Center would appreciate knowing about this (you can see on their site that 
they have a section devoted to monitoring anti-Semitism on the internet). On 
the positive side, they have had some success, though it's certainly a 
Sisyphean undertaking.
