I remember reading about shindlers list and how teenagers in the theatre were cheering the nazis.

I'd be extremely surprised to find any Marxists in an American high school.  Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, sure, but not Marxists.

The story tells us virtually no significant facts.  Are the students blacks, whites or Middle Eastern?  Anti-Semitism exists in all three groups and in sub-groups of the three groups as well, and for different reasons and historical causes in each group or sub-group.  I've never heard of La Quinta and have no idea what the likely cultural background of the kids would be.  It's even possible that the intention behind the game is innocent - - dumb, but basically innocent.  That would depend in part on the meaning of "Beat" in the title of the game - - "beat" as in "outsmart, outwit," or "beat" as in physically beat the living shit out of him.

Whatever the origins of this game and regardless of how much actual anti-Semitism it is revealing, it is my contention that the continuing assholism, inhumanity and brutality of the Israelis and their military is growing anti-Semitism at an exponential rate all over the globe.  And it's my kids and grand-children who are going to have to deal with the legacy of those shit-heads and the crypto-Nazi American conservatives who egg them on.

The article actually said they were from Southern California.  So much for your Marxists-hate-Jews theory.  It was ridiculous anyway. 

I looked up La Quinta on Google maps.  It's  in the interior of California, and, as far as I could tell from the map, roughly equidistant from San Diego and Los Angeles.  Seems to be mostly white (87%) and very much devoted to golfing.  Probably the same kind of well-off, bland, suburban whites portrayed in films such as The Graduate.  I would guess that sheer dumbness, rather than politically motivated anti-Semitism, was behind the title of the game. 

Incidentally, the full report of the incident also mentioned that the invitation to play was extended to about 40 Facebook recipients, but garnered only seven players.  Also that some of the players were not even aware of the title of the game they were playing.

La Quinta is by Palm Springs. Palm Springs is a gay bastion place. I happen to love going out there a couple of times a year (for R&R with my female wife) but it's as liberal as San Francisco and just as Socialistic too.

May I take it from the way you expressed yourself that in addition to your "female wife," there is also your male wife?
