Just saw on BBC news a report on some west ham fans anti-semitic chanting on returning from the spurs game.

What is wrong with some of these people ! First Chelsea now West ham.

Embarrassing and pathetic . ( Jewish people make up less than 0.5 % of the population i understand)

Is it mob mentality or something more sinister ? Seems particularly odd as Jewish people seem to be so well intergrated into British society.

Nearly half of the British population agreed with one of four antisemitic statements presented to them according to a new poll, which found that one in eight of those surveyed believe that Jewish people use the Holocaust as a means of gaining sympathy.

It also found that one in four (25%) Britons believed that Jews chase money more than other British people, a figure which rose to 39% of those participants who identified themselves as Ukip voters.

So only jewish people can be offended by antisemitism? I suppose only black people are offend by racism and homophobia by homosexuals!

Personally Im offended by any small minded and ignorant people

So says our resident expert on rascism, bigotry, and mindless predjudice

He's not far wrong though. Never really understood the whole 'Spurs fans are Jewish' thing. Been going Spurs for years & can only say I only know of a handful (or less) of Jews who follow Spurs. So West Ham singing about foreskins / the holocaust on a tube train is very strange - aswell as sick.

Like fans calling calling Palace / West Ham / Gillingham fans pikeys - if they're not pikeys/travellers etc, I doubt they're really that bothered.

Impressed to see you include "the social habits of proponents of the Jewish religion" in amongst your many areas of expertise.
