FYI FWIW: I can concur from first hand experience that the web page was unavailable last week since I happened to look up this interesting oddity/situation a few times myself, so I also seriousely doubt that Google black-listed this, as they correctly should not do so.
BTW, take a look at the sponsored link on the right when you type in "Jew Watch" - in case it goes away, what it is right now is a box from Google itself pointing to there explanation page. They seem to have handled this VERY well IMHO - taking a position of neutrality, but also providing easy access to their explanation of that position.

Posted by alek at April 26, 2004 06:10 PMFirst there was infamous "jewwatch" scandal. When Steve Weinstock entered search term "Jew" on Google, the world's leading search engine, the blatantly anti-Semitic web-site http://www.jewwatch.info appeared as the very first listing!
Mr. Weinstock launched a campaign - at http://www.removejewwatch.com - to remove that site from the top spot. He succeeded! But the site soon regained the first position before again losing it. So it appears to be an ongoing battle.
Now the anti-Semites have widened their attack. Google's #1 listing for "Rabbi Jokes" shows the neo-nazi site http://www.nazi-lauck-nsdapao.com . It even has cartoon animations of leading Jewish figures in addition to holocaust denial books and the infamous nazi film “The Eternal Jew”.
Anti-racist activists are urged to cut-and-paste this announcement and insert it into forums.
I AM AGAINST ALL NAZI SITES. THEY SHOULD ALL BE BANNED! I POST ON THEM ONLY TO GATHER INFORMATION!
