And to the site's supporters I say, please don't talk to me about freedom of speech. But making life tougher for those who spew hate is truly a mitzvah. No doubt, you'll read in the comment section below some Kahanewannabe pledging that 'Masada2000 will live forever' and such like. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how Masada2000 was brought down since I don't want to let any of its friends in on the secret. But I'm pleased to say that where I failed, someone else succeeded. No matter how many examples I provided to Bluehost of multiple blatant violations of their Terms of Service, they preferred Masada2000's loot to common decency. When their webhost took the site down they moved it to a Mormon webhost who didn't seem to mind nudity and lots of F-words directed at "sand niggers" and the like.

Besides the fact that it featured an image of me that I owned and thus violated my copyright, I thought that any site that said that Jewish female peace activists "deserved a good reaming" deserved to be reamed itself. In fact, when one of the site's 'friends' or perhaps the owner himself notified me of my "membership" I began a campaign to get the site taken down. If you're an enemy of the Jewish people in their book, you clearly deserve no privacy and the List often displays images of victims and their private e mail addresses. (Self-Hating and Israel-Threatening Jews) are 'fags,' kapos' and 'Judenrats.' It's as if the site owner absorbed the poison the Nazis spewed against Jews and become what he hates–a Jewish Nazis. It's obssessed by homosexuality and Nazism. Masada2000 has a fetish for what I call Jewish porn. Angry at Jewish peaceniks, the Fifth Column of the Jewish people. Big Al is angry in the same way Meir Kahane was angry. Who could ask for more? What is Masada20000 you ask? It's a strange beast run by someone who conceals his identity behind the moniker Big Al. Masada2000 has everything: naked men, dildos, Ariel Sharon in drag, Michael Lerner half-naked in a bath tub, and 7,000 Jews on the S.H.I.T. Plaut is now appealing the case.īut there is one website that is the sine qua non of Jewish cyber-bullydom. Plaut lost and had to pay more than $18,000 in fines to Gordon. In 2006, Neve Gordon, a dovish politics professor at Ben-Gurion University, launched a civil suit against Steven Plaut, a hawkish professor at the Graduate School of Business at the University of Haifa, for referring to him in an article published online as a “fanatic anti-Semite” and a “Judenrat wannabe,” among other slurs. Steven Plaut is another Jewish cyber-bully who sees it as his role in life to protect the Jewish people from anyone who's ever voiced any criticism of Israel. But they prefer to lurk in dark, slimy places. That's precisely the problem with cyber-bullies. While he believes he knows the identity of the anonymous blogger he has no solid proof. The commenter decided to get even and created a blog called Ploni Baloney solely devoted to mocking Chaim. The going got nasty and Chaim banned him. When Chaim Rubin of Life of Rubin defended Orthomom one of his commenters began berating him for his support of her.

In response to Greenbaum’s lawsuit, Public Citizen, a national public interest group that has played a lead role in defending free speech on the Internet, rushed in to defend Orthomom and filed a motion to quash. Greenbaum claims that she was called a “bigot” and an “antisemite” on the blog. Last February, the official, Pamela Greenbaum, who serves on board of education in Lawrence, N.Y., filed a lawsuit in a New York state court in an attempt to force Google, whose subsidiary hosts the blog, to reveal Orthomom’s identity. , which covers Long Island’s Orthodox Jewish communities, was the subject of a recent lawsuit brought by a local elected official who charges that she was slandered on the blog. There are Jewish cyber-bullies everywhere: People have wished cancer on me, called for me to be raped by Arabs and killed by "righteous Jews," called my children "simian," claimed I taught them to manufacture Palestinian suicide bombs, etc.Īnd as a recent Jewish Forward article points out, I'm not the only one. I've been blogging for nearly five years. We Jews have a reputation for being disputatious and the internet is no exception. But what's less known is that the Jewish web can be equally nasty. Foul language, hate, invective, inanity, you name it. Everyone knows the internet can be a nasty place.
