Leave it to /r/funny to transform a cute photo of children fishing for coins in a public fountain [ 2742] into pure, unadulterated anti-semitism. Hilarious!

Let's fish out some turds ourselves from this shit fountain.


The hateful stereotype of the greedy Jew is too mainstream for this hipster redditor:

Preface: I'm a secular Jew, raised in the reform movement. To me, the stereotype being reinforced here is less about Jews being greedy or money hungry, and more about orthodox or Hassidic Jews believing they can do whatever the hell they want and that the rules of polite society don't apply to them. [ 1460]

As a bonus he's also claiming to be a Jew, so maybe this isn't anti-semitic after all! This is a trend we'll see repeated ad nauseam as we get past elbow-deep in this filth.

my grandprents were driven out by them. Kind of hard to say no to a suitcase full of money which is percisely what they brought when trying to buy the house. [ 57]

When does a normal real estate transaction that's positive for all parties involved become an act of terrorism? When your sideburns are long.


The real question is, which kind of Jews do we hate most? Let's ask people claiming to be Jewish in an internet Jew-hating thread.

Hassidic Jews are the absolute worst of us (I was raised jewish but am not really religious) and they give all jews a bad name [ 135]

They are infuriating to talk to and they smell bad. [ 22]

What's even more bizarre is to get this treatment as a Jew. Given I am from the reform sect but honestly unless you are orthodox you are basically a bag of shit to them. It sucks, it really really sucks and it makes my entire culture look bad. [ 31]

I thought that orthodox jews pretty much kept to themselves? I see them in Costco, Ikea and they seem to be like every one else, except with larger families. [ 95]

In Brooklyn they even have their own fake police force. [ 158]

Russian Jew from Brooklyn checking in. They are called Shomrim and they are literally Hitler. [ 227]

Literally. Hitler.

It's ok to hate a group for being shitty to women, though:

This is what really bothers me about the Hasidic culture, it's really shitty to women. It really highlights the rape culture problem here [ 35]

You're right, random redditor, a Jew-bashing thread is exactly the right time to start caring about rape culture.

What else do we hate about Hasidic Jews?

They believe of all the people in the world, god loves them the most. If that doesn't give you a sense of smarmy self-entitlement, nothing will. [ 197]

Hmm, smarmy self-entitlement, does this remind us of anyone?

So just like Americans ;) [-26]

That didn't go over too well.


Maybe violence is the answer?

Sooo, how often does a normal law abiding citizen absolutely lose his patience and just beat the living shit out of one of these people? It happens to other groups of annoying assholes all the time, generally by other annoying assholes. [ 9]

not often enough it sounds like.... [ 4]

Noone wants to be an anti-Semite. [ 5]


Since the topic is unabashedly about confirmation bias, gloriously affirmational anecdotes abound!

Whenever I go back east I always end up yelling at these Jews. They are the rudest dgaf people you can come across. You literally have to run them over with a stroller because they don't listen. I know because I got kicked out of the Crayola factory over it. [ 3]

Care to tell the story?

Well later on here comes this guys wife standing in the path of a major hallway with her 10 kids. I said excuse me multiple times and she ignored me. So i rammed my kids stoller into her and her kids then started yelling at them. [ 5]

How dare this woman pay attention to her family instead of clearing the path for an important redditor! So rude!


You know, it's not a successful Jew-hating orgy until we express our hate for all the other races, too.

I initially thought this was a picture of asian children illegally poaching fish. [ 24]

Yeah them Asians love sitting on benches [ 20]

Yesterday I went and saw Neighbors and the black guy in front of me was talking like the whole time. I love stereotypes being reinforced. [ 15]


How about a voice of reason in all of this?

Preface: I am a Hasidic Jew but from a very open background. I have seen children of all shapes and colors play in the fountain at the mall and reach for coins. I am sorry for your insecurity. Get over it. And if you really do perceive there to be a problem then why don't you do something constructive instead of something lazily destructive? [-15]

Apparently this sort of comment is inappropriate for /r/funny.


Reading through these comments has literally given me an allergic reaction. Before I head over to the eye-washing station, let's close with a good ol' reddit switcharoo:

I can't help think about how absolutely filthy that water must be. [ 11]

I'm sure the filter will take care of it once they are done. [ 1]
