An unofficial website for Arsenal Football Club fans, called “We Are the Herd,” has adopted the charming practice of placing a Jewish star, the Magen David, next to the names of members who have not donated to the site, The Jewish Chronicle reports.
Because Jews are cheap. Get it?
The JC reports that the website has more than 1,000 members and hosts a number of antisemitic comments.
[O]ne member “Binesy,”… referring to the star next to his name, wrote: “I’m not a Jew. That is as deep a slur as I can imagine. …”
Another fan posted: “The Jews and their accomplices are draining the wealth and expecting the poorer sections of society to repay their thieving.”
The site describes itself as the “premier alternative Arsenal website.”
According to the site’s homepage:
We do not welcome racist overtones of any kind.
Oh. OK, then.
