The Double Identity of an "Anti-Semitic" Commenter:Smearing a Progressive Website to Support Israel

A Common Dreams investigation has discovered that more than a thousand inflammatory anti-Semitic comments following its news stories over the past two years were written with a deceptive purpose by a Jewish Harvard graduate in his thirties irritated by the website's discussion of issues involving Israel.

This commenter successfully drove away hundreds of donors from Common Dreams, a nonprofit dependent on reader generosity.

He also posted 1,400 times as a black, pro-white anti-Semite on the white-supremacist website Vanguard News Network, where he encouraged the malevolence of the neo-Nazi Frazier Glenn Miller, who is accused of killing three people in Kansas he believed were Jews.

The article has just been posted at: http://www.commondreams.org/hambaconeggs
