For those who can follow this sort of stuff without a program, Jimbo appears to be getting into a Twitter war with a faction of semi-to-full-on-crazy pro-Jewish/Israel tweeters.

From what I can see, Jimbo decided to spout off his opinions about these Jewish activists, they responded by pointing out how anti-Semitic Wikipedia is, and it all just goes downhill from there.

Wikipedia has its share of antisemitism, but I don't think it's coming from Jimmy. It's more of a problem with the design of the site and user-generated content in general.

It's nice they came to Haifa this year, and cutting them a little slack might be the best thing to do.

What a cheap shot, and dumb post in general. What is "its share"? Where is the evidence? And obviously none of 'it' would come from Jimbo anyway.

I wonder how do you define 'anti-semitism' 'Emperor'? (supposing you are not someone who's inclined to just opportunistically swing the term around like a bat). There is hardly going to be anything explicit in a place so patrolled by Zionists and anti-Zionists - neither of which in the main would wish to be anti-Jewish. So where is all this implicit anti-semitism?

As for Haifa, Israel was one of the first Chapters - and given some strong admin-central ties (at very least) it's hardly somehow commendably out of the blue.
