An idiotarian has been apprehended attempting to spread a poisonous meme in our comments areas.

No, you don’t have to run Norton Anti-Virus immediately. I’m talking about the latest anti-Semitic hoax perpetrated by the Loony LaRouchies, the “Israeli art student spy ring” scam.

Despite the definitive discrediting of these Israeli spying allegations, one can be certain that the bogus stories will continue to circulate on the internet and to be cited by anti-Israel propagandists.
Indeed.
