Question 1.5:
Are there other newsgroups about which Jews should be aware?

The following newsgroups are not considered "Jewish" newsgroups. However, they are more appropriate forums or venues for discussions that often take place on SCJ and its family of newsgroups.

• Unmoderated Newsgroups.

  • alt.revisionism. This unmoderated newsgroup is for discussions related to holocaust deniers and their theories. If you want to claim it never happened, do it in alt.revisionism. If you want to battle those who claim it never happened, do it in alt.revisionism.

  • alt.messianic. This unmoderated newsgroup is for discussions related to what is called "Messianic Judaism", or similar groups such as Jews for Jesus.

  • misc.kids and its family of newsgroups. These are the appropriate places for parenting discussions unrelated to Judaism.

    soc.culture.israel. This unmoderated newsgroup is for discussions related to the culture of the state of Israel.

  • soc.history. This unmoderated newsgroup also has a fair bit of revisionist discussions.

  • talk.politics.mideast. This unmoderated newsgroup is for the discussion of Israeli politics, and the politics of other countries in the Middle East.

• Moderated Newsgroups.

  • misc.kids.moderated. This moderated newsgroup is a low-traffic parallel to misc.kids, and is also for parenting discussions unrelated to Judaism.
