To confirm, in case the second half of the comments didn’t make it clear - Exiled was indeed an April Fools. It caused quite a stir. The number of people who fell for it was quite extraordinary. It amused some, angered others (we’ve even lost some readers over it), and generally did the job that an April Fools is meant to do - go close to the bone with cutting edge satire. Big shout out to Seth for putting it together. And, for an alternate take on what happened, head over to Simply Jews.

The Joke Could be You.
Don’t count on any sympathy it this was to actually happen to you. Remember anything can is possible in a police state - or should I say anything if one is a non-Jew.

Look Serge, you may have gotten the wrong end of the shtik here. See, this whole episode with the stolen computers thingy was an elaborate cover-up; Seth was actually about to expose a burgeoning Palestinian porn industry which mercilessly forces western hijacked journalists to copulate with endemic beasts of burden and occupied orphan virgins. This of course was all Zionist spiel, as the whole operation is actually run by the ZioOccupation’s Secret Forces (collaborating with the Elders Hasbara department) in a repulsive bid to discredit the oppressed.
Seth is actually the noble victim, who was silenced by the oppressive dark forces of the Illegitimate Police State, consequently having to present the entire episode as an April fools lark for fear of his safety…
