Stop Anti-Semitism on Google!
Hi all! I thought I would pass this along from a friend of mine. This is a really bad site, basically finding nasty things to say and posting nasty news items about anyone who is of Jewish origin. This isn't about Israeli politics, it's about people, and we need to stop hate in any way that we can, for anyone that is hated, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, and geographic origin. Kindly consider joining in this online petition.


When you Google the word "Jew", one of the first websites that pops up
is http://www.jewwatch.com/ -- an anti-semitic, hate-filled harangue
masquerading as "scholarly, factual, informational".

Add your name to the petition to remove www.jewwatch.com from Google's
search engine. (Check out the site and you will understand why.)

In order for Google to remove this, they would need a petition of over
500,000 requests.... so let's make it 1,000,000!

P.S. Current total signatures approx. 272,000

Go to: http://www.petitiononline.com/rjw23/petition.html to sign the
petition.

10. You're telling google to de-list a website on purpose.
That's censorship.

5. It's not Google's fault
Google simply shows the results that its web crawler reports. Jew Watch has been Google bombing to put their website high in the ranks. Its Google's policy to not alter search results unless something illegal is going on. I think thats a great policy, because you know Google's results will not be biased. But unfortunately, with freedom of speech, A few morons will get the right to speak also. This is what this is.

6. Unfortunately there are many web sites full of crap just like
this one but I think it is impossible to eliminate them. The problem is in where to draw the line. I would tell my Jewish friends to ignore the web site just like I ignore some web sites.

7. What a stupid petition
Google searches often yield results that offend me, but it's the fact that Google is so good at finding sites that makes it so valuable.

8. First Amendment is a b***, isn't it?
It let's you say whatever you want and at the same time redneck bigoted yahoos can do the same. Try and get over it. Just do a Mel Brooks and point and laugh.
