Thanks, I'm still in the dark though. I had read the whole thing and see the heinous, unexcusable behavior described, but still don't understand why the article opens with 2 examples of Americans being bashed by Brit when the title of the article is "Jolly Old England No Longer: Can the surge in British Jew hatred be linked directly to its media?" It is obviously trying to set the stage somehow, but I am missing it.

quidnunc is taking out a personal grudge he developed on a bulletin board out on the British in general:

See Post 57

His grudge trumps anything that Britain has done in the War on Terror, and as such, he is broadcasting any anti-British articles he can find, no matter how spurious.

(1) The general point about the lapse in manners leads into the specific point about expression of anti-Jewish sentiments.

(2) Carol Gould is Jewish.
