I will preface this by saying I have never actually visited Stormfront and know of its existence only from the leftists here.
That said, much of the Israel/Palestine subforum has become a platform for Jew-haters to spread antisemitic propaganda, most notably the blood libel of “genocide” and comparisons of Israel to Nazi Germany, in an effort to spread Jew-hate. Both of these meet the standard of antisemitism, according to the definition accepted by the U.S. State Department and 150 other developed countries.
The most recent line of attack is that Israel is now committing a “genocide” in Lebanon. Are we to expect that when Islamic terrorists launch a big rocket attack or are about to do so, and Israel hits back, that the antisemites will call it a genocide?
If USMB has decided to provide a platform by which to allow antisemites to advance lies to increase contempt for Jews, well….its a private board and can do as the owner pleases. But let’s admit that this is what the I/P forum has devolved to.
One simple question, if you know nothing about "Stormfront", how do you know that USMB has become like it?
Howling "anti Semite", "Jew hater" and "neo Nazi" every time someone writes a fact that you don't like and can't refute is not "anti Semitism."
Ethical and honest Jews do not need to rely on evasive slander and puerile tantrums when confronted with inconvenient facts:
For example, according to Jewish musician and writer, Gilat Atzmon:
"An antisemite used to be someone who hates Jews;
nowadays an antisemite is someone Jews hate.”
- Gilad Atzmon, Jewish musician and author, 2011
“An antisemite used to be someone who hates Jews; nowadays an antisemite is someone Jews hate.” — Quote by Gilad Atzmon

Former Israeli Education Minister goes even further and claims that repeatedly howling "antisemite" is simply a rhetorical trick to reject the truth:
“Don’t be caught out by ‘the trick’”
In August 2002 former Israeli Minister of Education Shulamit Aloni was interviewed on the radio and television program Democracy Now .

“Well, it’s a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country people are criticizing Israel, then they are anti-Semitic.....
And it’s very easy to blame people who criticize certain acts of the Israeli government as anti-Semitic, and to bring up the Holocaust, and the suffering of the Jewish people, and that is to justify everything we do to the Palestinians.”CONTINUED
This whole thread is really just a transparent smokescreen for the justified global condemnation of what many Jews regard as the Gaza genocide:.
“Jews Against Genocide statement and action”
www.ijan.org
EXCERPT “We, Jews Against Genocide, came to Yad Vashem, Israel’s memorial of the genocide committed against Jews, to honor the Palestinian children who are dying in a genocide committed by Jews.
We brought dolls to symbolise the children of Gaza, and tried to bring a glimpse of the horror that Gazan’s face, to Israel’s doorstep. We hope to show Israel, and the world, the absurd reality of using the memory of one genocide to justify another.” CONTINUED
Still another Jewish organization writes:
“A Textbook Case of Genocide”
“Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening?”
Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening?

EXCERPT " But the assault on Gaza can also be understood in other terms: as a textbook case of genocide unfolding in front of our eyes. I say this as a scholar of genocide, who has spent many years writing about Israeli mass violence against Palestinians. I have written about settler colonialism and
Jewish supremacy in Israel, the distortion of the Holocaust to boost the
Israeli arms industry, the
weaponization of antisemitism accusations to justify Israeli violence against Palestinians, and the racist regime of Israeli
apartheid. “ CONTINUED
Because your irrational hatred of all Muslim men, women and children is so fervent, your condemnation of more honest and candid Jews as "Self Hating Jews" shows that your distress over anti Jewish sentiment is eclipsed by fanatical hatred of any and all Muslims.
In other words, the only things that the world's Muslims and "Stormfront" have in common is you know nothing about either but you hate them both.
