your translation is wrong

L.S.,

Your translation of "Juden sehen dich an", is wrong.
The German conveys: "look at those ugly faces", not the Big-Brother-Is Watching-You suggestion in your translation.
You should tranlate: "Jews look you in the face" or maybe a translation that is even better than that and that I'm not aware of, since I am Dutch.
I told you this before, but you did not answer me, nor did you correct the translation.

Daniel Pipes replies:

I have added a second translation, as you recommend.
