We all knew that Microsoft wasn’t a good company. Let this news motivate you to switch to GNU/Linux.

I also mentioned bigotry. I am aware she is a TERF.

Yes, she is Algerian (North African) and that was a major reason if not the reason why she was targeted.

I hope she pays dearly for her racism and bigotry.

I hope she wins and gets justice.

Cleansed by the Torah’: Why These Afrikaners Converted to Judaism and Moved to Israel

Among the first Afrikaner converts to make aliyah were the Taljaards from Randfontein, a gold-mining city near Johannesburg. They came in the mid-1990s and began raising sheep in the settlement of Susya, where they were often involved in violent clashes with Palestinians from nearby villages in the South Hebron Hills. Jacob, the eldest of 14 children in the family, was killed in a tractor accident several years ago. He once famously told an Israeli television reporter that he “loved” the apartheid system and thought it was “the best thing in the world.”

As a Rabbi Raised in South Africa, I Can’t Ignore Israel Is an Apartheid State

They have been running concentration and labor camps since 1948

I really hope there’s a significant rise in Firefox -and derivatives- usage share. It will be good for everyone, even those stuck on Chromium browsers.

tl;dw: they don’t see Palestinians as humans

Here’s another quote where he was more honest [emphasis mine]:

[It is the] iron law of every colonizing movement, a law which knows of no exceptions, a law which existed in all times and under all circumstances. If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison on your behalf. Or else – or else, give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will render physically impossible any attempts to destroy or prevent this colonization, colonization is impossible, not “difficult”, not “dangerous” but IMPOSSIBLE! … Zionism is a colonizing adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important to build, it is important to speak Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot – or else I am through with playing at colonialization.

Yet, nearly half the comments here blame the Palestinians for the natural response Jabotinsky accurately predicted.

Killing the negotiator… Zionists never wanted peace, not even in 1923.

Why did the Greeks, Persians and Romans want it when they were pagan? and the Egyptians long before them.

Trade routes, natural resource, strategic location, …

This tacit racism and ahistorical bigotry gets upvoted. Just awful. Western meddling and Zionism is the cause.

No it hasn’t, only since WW1 due to Western meddling.

Europe has a history of more brutal and longer wars. They even brought some wars our way during the Crusades.

The Middle East has been a powder keg for a long time,

no, only since WW1 due to French and British designs, and since WW2 due to US and Israel

It is also ironic that a lot of this bigotry is coming from some of the most violent people throughout history, even in peaceful times

What would you say is the defining factor for those competing nationalisms?

As bad as you may think Israel is, it gets worse. I usually can stomach reading anything, but the following two books by Ilan Pappe were too much for me and I couldn’t finish them.

I am glad the false narrative on Israel is finally being challenged. For years Palestinian, Arab, Muslim and anti-Zionist voices were ignored and marginalized.
