The only people that seem to be anti-semetic are those that come to forums and make ridiculas claims and try to stir up hate, no the occupyers are not anti- semitic.

Are you saying that these videos aren't real? Are all of the negative stories of violence, rape, theft, etc etc coming from the OWS movement not real?

That doesn't put anything to rest, when I see someone bring racist towards someone face to face it don't need a list of 15 random "Jewish leaders" to approve my feeling for me.

Everyone MUST ask themselves......"why has the OWS movement happened?"
This movement did not just come about because of some 'whack jobs"
The corruption in high places, the greed of the 'fat cats", the me me me attitude of Washinton and their 'masters" in huge corporations and the absolute disregard for basic human needs by the top 1% for their fellow Americans is the reason for this 'revolution".
America was once a Country where hard work and honest labor brought rewards and respect and the rest of the World looked on in awe at the "American dream" and can do attitude.
Not anymore.
America has become a Country where Capitalism is now a greedy self satisfying monster and far from the Capitalism of our Fathers, which promoted security for all by hard work without penalizing the poor and sick and without making them "outcasts".
As the rich got richer and richer, they threw away what they considered to be the "flotsam and jetsam" in their lives, in other words the poor, sick and underprivileged but they forgot that the everyday hard working Americans were the ones who had built America and its industries...... Money became the new industry in America and was unsustainable on its own. You can own the most expensive car in the world but if the tires are falling apart, the car becomes undriveable.
The OWS movement came about for a reason and if the blind in America do not understand that drastic change is now needed then America will implode like many great nations before them........ Ignoring the people leads to revolt.......... YES even in America and if the top 1% think they are "fireproof" they had better think again before they are the ones who are responsible for America going down the toilet and their millions won't help them after that has happened.

I belong to an interfaith group that was founded to support Occupy DC, we have several Jewish groups that are part of our interfaith group, and I am also onsite at the occupation at several times a week and have never seen anything said or done that would even remotely imply anti-Semitism.
