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.

"@JIDF As I have said to you many times, I do not think you are a Hamas agent. You'd do less damage to Israel if you were, though."
Trolololol. Full marks to Dear Leader. Presumably everyones familiar with David Appletree and his antics.

Appletree's twitter feed is just a non-stop lolcow of offensive statements:
-"I'd be even more depressed if I "married" a non-Jew, despite Torah Law. Few things are more depressing than helping Hitler along."
-"I met a Jewish extremist once. A bank made an error in his favor. He let them know about it."
-"GlennBeck absolutely does defend Islam. He says Islam is generally moderate and that "Islamism" is the problem."
-"Many Jews believe that Islam is not the problem, despite it being antisemitic and founded by a genocidal murderer of Jews."

Just priceless. Way to alienate anyone left of Michael Ben-Ari. The JIDF is about as aptly named as the Committee of Public Safety.
