Antisemitism at Occupy Wall Street: Image vs. Reality

Last week two assholes were caught on video at Occupy Wall Street saying profoundly awful, stupid things about Jews, one of whom was consistently heckled and challenged by those around him.

On Friday night, around one thousand — not two, one thousand — Jews assembled for Yom Kippur services in the very same place to express solidarity with the demonstrators’ shared ideal of repairing the world. 

Which do you think the media is giving more attention to and is using to describe the character of the Wall Street demonstrations?

I’ll give you a hint: It’s not the perfectly normal people having what many called the most meaningful Jewish experience of their lives — one which has inspired thousands around the country and around the world.

You see: If you tell that story, then the 99% might win. And you know we can’t have that.

After all, look at these vicious antisemites!
