Did you know that there's anti-Semitism in Israel?

The Israeli attorney general has launched a criminal investigation into a local neo-Nazi website that jokes about gas chambers, advocates shooting Palestinians and denies that the Holocaust happened.
The website, published in Russian by a group calling itself the White Israeli Union is believed to be the work of immigrants from the former Soviet Union who claimed to be Jews when they entered Israel but who are blamed for the sharp rise in anti-semitism and advocacy of white supremacy.


I don't really know enough about the subject to comment, but I just thought the article and the issue itself was fascinating enough to bring to people's attention. I'm hoping that the Head Heeb, who knows more about this sort of subject than most bloggers, will have something to say about it.

Update; There is now more about this on the Head Heeb.
