A user wrote on January 3 about Bernard Madoff:

As a Jew, he shames me. He took advantage of his “jewishness” to make people feel comfortable,and then deceived them….
As a community activist, I was involved in a pro and counter rally yesterday for Israel. The Pro Hamas sides had signs of Jews, with hooked noses and dollar signs, with Madoff and Israel being equated to Nazi’s. The war on Gaza, is now being linked to the ills of this greedy horrible man. He has hurt the Jews for years to come, sixty years after the holocaust. I take collective guilt, as Jews should be better than this.
We have to have the world watching us every second, Israel defending her citizens against terror is this example. Madoff is a “shonda” on the Jewish people, and I hate him for that.
