<p>Despite what you might have heard from the many conservative outlets looking to discredit the movement through a couple of crazy people with "Jews = Bank Bailout" signs, the majority of Occupy Wall Street is not anti-Semitic. Because that's what we were all worried about, right?</p>
<p><!--more-->From <strong>Jonathan Chait</strong>'s piece on <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/10/anti-semites_with_signs.html">NYMag.com today</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>When writing about the Occupy Wall Street protests, Washington <em>Post</em> conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin complains, "virtually nothing has been said about its anti-Semitic elements." And yes, <em>virtually </em>nothing has been said! Unless you count <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/11/opinion/the-milquetoast-radicals.html">David Brooks</a>.

<p>Not to mention this video that has been circulating:<br />

Yikes! That's a lot of media scrutiny for hate rhetoric towards a group that <a href="http://wilderside.wordpress.com/2011/10/06/yom-kippur-service-at-occupy-wall-street/">held Yom Kippur services</a>, as well as Shabbas. Someone should probably alert <a href="http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/new_york/jews_occupation">Jewsish Week</a> and tell them to stop sending "their people" to Zuccotti Park...unless they want trouble.</p>
