As a local, this is an extremely painful subject. Not all of them are anti-Semites. Just the vast majority.

A couple of points he hit on the head:

Quote
As historian Yuri Slezkine points out, clothing and food restrictions are often designed to keep ethnic minorities separate: if you don’t eat together, you don’t sleep together.
must have picked that up at his daf yomi Shiur.
Quote
“Every single thing they do in their life is religious,”
A Jews goal in life should be to have all his actions defined by the Torah no matter how mundane. So yes , everything thing we do is religious

Might be referring to this
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general-news/533482/mailbag-the-chillul-hashem-of-the-movie-shoot-on-ave-m-gets-worse-videos-and-photos.html
Maybe. I am not. I am referring to the urge some have to post here every time some guy makes a chilul hashem on a plane. What gain is there in posting it?

Dear Editor,

I am writing to you about the absolute biggest chillul Hashem – ever, ever, ever. It was such a big chillul Hashem, I don’t even know how to describe it. It was huge. It was a chillul Hashem of historic proportions. And here are pictures/clips/tweets from the chillul Hashem.

Click Here!
Actually, there’s no chillul Hashem. I’m just trying to bring out a point.

I’m fed up seeing the internet used time and again to publicize this chillul Hashem and that chillul Hashem. It seems like no one can pass up an opportunity to publicize a chillul Hashem and let the whole world know that it was an epic chillul Hashem, bigger than ever.

It’s like everyone is a self-appointed chillul Hashem expert and publicist.

“THE BIGGEST CHILLUL HASHEM EVER IN KALAMAZOO,” a headline will scream, encouraging everyone to express outrage.

Did anyone ever think about whether this is acceptable? Is it recommended? Is it appropriate to constantly yell about chillul Hashems? Did anyone ask a competent rov if there is a mitzvah to broadcast whenever one thinks something is a chillul Hashem?

Is it a kiddush Hashem to publicize a chillul Hashem?

Could it be that screaming about a chillul Hashem can itself sometimes be a chillul Hashem? Did anyone ever think of that?

Sick and Tired About Being Told About Chillul Hashems

They forgot to write "advertisement" on top
But it's real? I was hanging onto a glimmer of hope that it was some lame Purim shtik
