I don't know if it is the same person (it is in the 67 range this time, but 
the 68 user did threaten to bring on friends to 'hit' Jewish-orientated 
articles) but some rather dodgy comments have started to appear that sound 
like what in Ireland is known as 'taking the piss' (ironic ridicule).

This appeared on the [[Talk:Israel]] page:

I hate it when a bunch of lowly Goyim make comments about Israel. When are 
these Goyishe Kop losers going to realize that Yahveh created them to be 
ruled by us?

This was put in [[Jew]]:

Jews are very nice people, and it is extremely unfair that so many different 
cultures from different parts of the world, at different periods of human 
history, have said similar things about this nice peopel. Terrible 
attributes like stinginess, tight-fistedness, money-grabbing, greedy, 
conspiring, networking amongst themselves to the detriment of their host 
nation, living parasitic lives among the Goyim, and other unfair attributes 
of the sort, are just false and unfair accusations, probably out of jealousy 
because the Jews are so good-looking that the lowly Goyim have always been 
jealous of this nice shadow nation.

It is not clear how so many different cultures from vastly different 
geographic areas, at different times have all said similar things about the 
Jews, but studies have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that these 
accusations all spring from the jealousy of the Goyim (plural of Goy; Goy in 
Hebrew means non-Jew).

I removed the above stuff that he put on the talk page. His response was

# 05:38, 23 Aug 2003 Talk:Israel (Motherfucker, do not delete stuff form 
discussion pages.) He then proceded to put back in the comments. I rolled 
them back and blocked the IP.

Either [[Israel]] and related articles has just happened to become 
'nutter-central' in terms of the people whom it has attracted in the last 3 
days, or someone (and maybe a friend) is deliberately trying to 'hit' these 
articles to provoke people.
