 The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) issued a report warning of a sharp resurgence of antsemitism in the wake of the financial crisis. Internet discussion boards and blogs dealing with the meltdown on Wall Street are being flooded with hate speech, ADL says.
"We know from modern history that whenever there is a downturn in the global economy, there will be an upturn in the level of antsemitism and bigotry, and that is what we are seeing now," said ADL National Director Abe Foxman. |
