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

The French didn't stop being assholes, it was only a few months ago when an anti-Arab and Muslim song went viral. Imane has been demonized by Western outlets, politicians and other celebrities, because she is an Algerian woman who defeated an European women.

You are blaming Russia for the West's long tradition of white supremacy and racism. Algeria only freed itself from brutal French rule in 1962. Bigotry towards Algerians and North Africans is engrained in France and across Europe.

Always blame Russia, even when it is just your old white supremacy that is prevalent in Europe and North America. Do you think the Russians were the reason for the French occupation of Algeria that resulted in millions dead?

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.

Thank you. This comment got me to start !arabiccalligraphy.

language of the enemy

what have we done to him? I hate him even more than I did before reading this.

Edit: I didn't expect my comment to track. I may as well take this opportunity to post a Chrisitan Arab's perspective on Arabic

Consider a language spoken by Christians for more than fifteen hundred years. Its early masters composed exquisite poetry, pioneering a tradition that still flourishes today. Many of the great works of Christian thought were composed in this language; many of the most significant texts of philosophy, medicine, and astronomy were preserved in it. The Bible could be read in it for centuries before it could be read in English, French, German, or Spanish. Today it is spoken and written across Europe and North America, as well as Asia and Africa; it features prominently in modern political thought and advocacy. I am speaking, of course, of Arabic.

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.
