Anti-Semitic Hate Speech Enters Europe via Broadcasts

Shrill voices are crowding out the measured ones in anti-Semitic broadcasts aimed at Europe's Muslims.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Farfur's appearances are typical of Hamas's anti-Semitic propaganda, which the organization also exports to Germany via satellite,

Germany can't block it?

The broadcasts into Germany came from non-European owned satellites. But I suspect that even if the broadcasts were blocked, people would trade dvds or tapes of the offensive programming.

Yeah, I realize that, but satellite transmissions can be blocked. I also wonder what percentage of the German population speaks Arabic. The audience for this garbage can't be very large, which is a good thing.
