Internet Activism?

Taking this (word for word, link for link :-) from gehayi:

Reclaiming A Word:
----
The word "Jew" has been googlebombed by an anti-Semitic group which wants its definition of "Jew" to be the first that shows up on a websearch. If you would like to combat the hate, please link to the Wikipedia definition of "Jew". Your link tag needs to include the word "Jew" in order for it to work.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jew

Mind you, I think that probably Google itself will soon intervene to remove the antisemites' page from its listings, but until that time no reason not to do our best.

Hey, I think Jews have enough power to alter that on their own. So I'm gonna continue writing my paper which is due tomorrow... And no I'm not anti-semitic I just don't think my intervention is necessary.

Good luck on your paper.

"Hey, I think Jews have enough power to alter that on their own."

Ugh. Doesn't the fact that the page is still up there prove you mistaken?

Either way, I willingly lend my own moral support. It does count for something.
