Obviously, this is a not so sneaky way of saying "Kill the Jew."

Why don't you go out and find some *real* jew haters? Lord
knows that there are enough of those slimeballs around without
you having to manufacture new ones without evidence.

I would hardly characterize this as "without evidence." Certainly,
some doubt has been introduced, but that hardly turns the whole
thing into "without evidence"

No, really, it's without evidence. It's been pointed out repeatedly
that `killzjoo' is online gamer slang for `kills you' and is
pronounced `kills you', not `kill zee jew'. What's more, you came
across this on an online gaming site.

I'm sorry you took offence. It was an understandable mistake to
make. But I really don't see any evidence at all of anti-semitism in
this particular incident.
