Working on Google for Passover

I am not a Jew. I have come to believe I'm not really Christian. But I am very much anti-hate.

I was rolling through Blogopolis, and stopped by Crooked Timber, who reported on a google bomb run underway, in that the top Google search for "Jew" is a floridly anti-semitic spew of bile.

Norm tells more.

Now, in my mind, all right-thinking persons should denounce such prejudices as anti-Semitism early, often, and loudly.

Jew links to the wikipedia article on Jews and Judaism; there was some discussion on the editable nature of the wiki making it liable to, well, malicious attacks.
Jew, or Judaism 101 being an non-wiki site, was also nominated. (They are now #2 and #3.) The #4 spot as of this second is a mission to convert the Jews to Christianity.

This person and his commentators have some interesting things to say about Google (although he believes that Google practices censorship)

But maybe there is something to that, as Joho the Blog and his commentators have mention of other Google page rank tweakages in the past. Although is suidide and heart attack in the same category of severity?
