message: There is a paragraph in the article about how university students have circulated petitions concerning universities funding companies with ties to Israel. There is no explanation, however, as to what this has to do with anti-globalization? The article cited in the paragraph from Jewish Voice for Peace doesn't even mention anti-globalization. Unless someone can explain the connection (within the article), I'm inclined to delete the bulk of this paragraph. Kaldari 00:07, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The second paragraph mentions anti-globalization specifically.  The section you removed also lists notable Jews who are prominent in the anti-globalization movement.  The entire issue is about criticisms of Israel being construed as semitism within the anti-globalization movement.  The entire thing is relevant to anti-globalization.  That is what anti-globalization protestors do, protest global imperisalism that supports the policies of the government of Israel. zen master    T  22:19, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: What do student petitions about Israel have to do with anti-globalization?

message: I have just been trying to get my head around all the stuff that has been written about this, particulary on the issule of the picture. I am personaly convinced that the protest wasn't anti-semitic (though sheriff star was a stupid mistake) or even anti-Zionist for that matter (not that the two are the same) but I think it is fair for the picture to be used as part of alligations of anti-semitism as there are people who have interpreted it in this way.
(NPOV requires that if we can't deside the facts we should represent both view points). One thing that still puzzels me is SlimVirgin's claim to have found something else written on the star, since SlimVirgin has given up editing the page it seems we will never find out what that was :-S --JK the unwise 11:35, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Not that I'm trying to involve myself here, but curiosity impelled me to ask SlimVirgin what was up with that claim.  She seems to be embarrassed about it, since she not only refuses to say how she came up with that claim, but keeps deleting all mention of the question from her talk page. You know, for an administrator she's not showing a great deal of integrity there. 21:54, 15 Apr 2005 (Oops, sorry, I forgot to sign this, originally.

text: Scarves would be more appropriate.  Of course, the whole page should ideally go, as most people agree.   :) — Helpful Dave 14:20, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

text: I fully agree with JK the unwise. Note that I've created Anti-WEF protests in Switzerland, January 2003 and given background on this image, for the reason that it was featured here. If the Star of David allegations are not notable, they should be removed from that article too (but the article will remain to be notable, since it is also about the riots in Berne etc.). dab (ᛏ) 14:31, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Anti-semitism in that photo

message: This page is missing a more complicated context provided by the New Internationalist magazine special issue on Judeophobia where the issue of antisemitism was teased out to explain that many pro-Zionist activists conflate anti-Zionism with antisemitism, but that there is still too much antisemitic stereotyping by left and liberal Middle East and anti-globalization activists. I actually think the position of Klein is misrepresented in the current draft.  She has a more complex analysis that admits there is too much antisemitism on the left.
