First the BBC allowed anti-Semitic comments to be posted on their Radio 5 site. Following public outcry, the Beeb’s moderators took the comment offline, explaining that “a member of our Moderation Team has referred it to the Hosts for a decision as to whether it contravenes the House rules in some way.”
Apparently, the comment by Iron Naz wasn’t anti-Semitic enough for the Moderation Team. Message 62 is back online:
Zionism is a racist ideology where jews are given supremacy over all other races and faiths.
This is found in the Talmud.
There is a law called Baba Mezia which allows jews to lie as long as its to non-jews. many pro jewish supporters will cringe at this being exposed because they know it exists, yet they keep quiet about it, hey frip, jla and co
The Law of Baba Mezia!! Tsk tsk tsk! Its in the Talmud
The British public pays for these so-called moderators through the license fee.
UPDATE 6:32 p.m.: While we’re on the subject of moderating comments for anti-Semitism, see Oliver Kamm‘s criticisms of The Guardian’s Comment is Free section:
I am close to being an absolutist on free speech. I do not, however, consider that defending someone’s right to utter pernicious sentiments obligates you to provide the vehicle by which he may do so. I can see no benefit either to The Guardian or to the quality of public debate in CiF’s providing a bulletin board for antsemitic cranks and sundry flat-earthers, and cordially invite CiF’s editors to reflect further on what they have created.
