(VINnews) — It seems that antisemitism has become so accepted, even search engines are joining the notorious club.

Google has become the latest in a long list of media companies to express vicious and shocking antisemitism (in casual, nonchalant fashion). When one conducts a simple search for the word “Jew”, the first thing that pops up is an antisemitic trope insinuating that Jews are cheap.
At the very top of the results, the “dictionary definition” comes up, defining Jew as a verb meaning “bargain with someone in a miserly or petty way”. Yes, there is the warning “offensive”, but it is of little consolation. Kind of like when someone says, “No offense”, then proceeds to insult you or punch you in the face.
Astonishingly, this is the ONLY definition offered. No description of what a Jew represents, their rich and long heritage and history, or the many contributions that Jews provide to society.
.@Google has some serious explaining to do about how it ended up presenting an antisemitic “definition” of a Jew!
There’s NO good excuse for such an org to casually feature Jew-hatred in its search results!
We demand accountability!

When one enters “jew” into the Google search engine, a grotesque antisemitic trope comes up.

It is almost as if Kanye West or Ilhan Omar were running the Google search engine. The continuing trend of antisemitism becoming the mainstream norm is truly horrific, and does not appear to be dissipating anytime soon.
This is what comes up for me:
a member of the people and cultural community whose traditional religion is Judaism and who trace their origins through the ancient Hebrew people of Israel to Abraham.
NOt sure if this is real. Please verify before posting stuff like this. Even Dov Hikind should have verified. I do not get this as the definition when I check. If true, it is offensive that this is the first definition (and the ONLY definition). I would not have minded if it was listed at the end as an offensive definition. I wanted to see what they say about the N word but was afraid to enter it in a search !
Rav shimon schwab zt”l took out a websters dictoonary at a agudah convention with a similar definition and prayer one day the will define a jew as someone who is honest
Not run by trump or musk, who cares?
Where is Ezra or Shomer?
This is terrible. Trump should resign immediately.
Please use the google feedback link to let google know your thoughts about this.
Also report directly on feedback page of the Oxford dictionary google is pulling from
The more people will comment the liklier we can have an impact
Definitions are common usages of words not in depth historical accounts
“Insinuating that Jews are cheap”
Having spent much of my life around us (& the rest around non-Jews) I’d say it’s more fact than insinuation.
When the word “jew” is used as a verb, that’s exactly what it means. Google has nothing to do with it. They just report how words are used. They shouldn’t hide it because of a few snowflakes.
Slow day at the office?
Is there any way to contact Google to protest something like this?
I see anti-Semitic comments on vin all day, why should gentiles be better than JEws>
I did not know that nick works for google. I always thought he was unemployed.
