Tribune article+antisemitism

    Apparently the Tribune/Turbine is in hot water over their 'Jews found guiltyof murdering Jesus' article. Shades of last year's Traveller controversy...I'm a big fan of student media but when you can't give a satire page the time and effort it needs to work, you invariably get dodgy results. 2 years running now...an annual embarrasment on the scale of eurovision. What lucky religion/minority/ethnic group will be targeted next year? My money's on the Palestinians, they've been having it far too easy of late...

    I thought that article was hilarious, very tongue in cheek. Who complained about it?

    Presumably those goddamned Jesus-Murders. Is there anything they don't want to ruin for us?

    Don't forget CTN's "******"-gate, last year too.

    Ah, CTN, hope we get those sabbat vids in time for the execs.

    I presume that the op is satirising PC-thugs.

    The alternative would be dreadful.

    Do you have any proof that the OP writes for the Observer?

    Yeah because its even possible to get real anti-Semitic material into any mainstream publication. Get real, its obviously a joke. And lets not forget the Jews technically did kill Jesus :D

    Would you be so annoyed if they made fun of Islam? It seems that a lot of people think a joke about Islam is OK but a joke about Judaism isn't.

    He seems to have submitted one article - hardly means that he is partisan, or that his comment can just be dismissed.

    The jews deserve all the abuse they get for murdering Jesus

    One article that we know of. There's hardly likely to be any more of a record of his involvement (on this website) than there is. And nobody dismissed his comment, just put it in perspective.
