WAS William Sahlespear anti-semitic. Nine girls at the Yesodey Hatorah Senior Girls School in Stamford Hill, north London, refused to answer questions on Shakespeare because they believe he was anti-Semitic. As a result the school's ranking has fallen from first to 274th in this year's table measuring the progress of pupils between the ages of 11 and 14. Head teacher Rabbi Abraham Pinter says*: "I think this is very positive. I'm really proud that our kids are prepared to take the consequences of their convictions and I think it is something that needs to be encouraged." Says the Telegraph: "The view of Shakespeare as anti-Semitic stems from his portrayal of the money lender Shylock in The Merchant of Venice." Writes Daniel Hannan: It's a delicate question but, on balance, I'm with the pupils at Yesodey Hatorah Senior Girls School.

Was Winston Churchill really anti-Semitic?
Journalists tend to want to hug anyone who makes a case for saying that their work is rather more than a first rough draft of history, but I think I'll pass on Nicholson Baker. The wilfully eccentric American novelist devoted an entire book to demonising librarians for throwing out old newspapers, while Monica Lewinsky famously gave Vox, his novel about phone sex, to a serving US president. .

Teen Arrested For Racist, Anti-Semitic Vandalism
Fort Thomas Police have just arrested a juvenile for spray painting racist and anti-semitic messages. Police say our report on the vandalism Monday night helped lead to the arrest. Fort Thomas Police say the graffiti started last summer with the initials "e-j" or "l-j" painted near Highland Park. Then a house, a car, and a wall in a park were hit. This past weekend, Swastikas were painted on the walls of Saint Catherine's Church. Police say the 15-year-old is from that neighborhood. .

On the one hand, I'm stunned that lefties can't seem to get beyond playground style name games, Petraeus-Betray Us, McCain-McSame. On the other hand, do Democrats really want to legitimize this kind of inanity...let me think, how could an unaccountable, right-wing, third-party outfit go about such an ad? Let's see, which candidate's name could we play a game with? How about Obama. Now we want to say something clever, and we're going to need to take out one of those letters and put in an 'S' instead. Wait, I've got it! Show Obama in Tribal Outfit... Narrator: "Obama wants U.S. forces out of Iraq." Cut out picture of Obama's head and paste Osama's picture. Narrator: "Osama wants U.S. forces out of Iraq." Posted by Michael Goldfarb at 05:53 PM | Permalink | E-mail the author | E-mail article .

Report: Anti-Semitic incidents down in Dade
Anti-Semitic incidents are down drastically in Miami-Dade County and have decreased across Florida for the second consecutive year, according to a report released Wednesday by the Anti-Defamation League. Reported incidents in Miami-Dade dropped from 54 in 2006 to 24 in 2007. There was a slight decrease in Broward County, from 28 to 24. Statewide, incidents dropped from 179 in 2006 to 127 in 2007, a 29 percent decrease. Nationwide, incidents were down 13 percent. ''We're pleased, but anti-Semitism still remains,'' said Andrew Rosenkranz, the ADL's regional director in Florida. ``Anti-Semitism and racism of any kind is intolerable, whether it's one incident or 200 incidents.'' Like last year, Florida ranked fourth in the nation in incidents, behind New York, New Jersey and California, which also have significant Jewish populations.

Cis' blog roundup - Friday
A growing number of people fear that Great Britain faces "a Muslim problem" and more than half of the respondents to the YouGov survey said that Islam posed a threat to Western liberal democracy. That compares with less than a third after the September 11 terrorist attacks on America five years ago. Question: Does Islam pose a threat to the West? .
