I am offended by the inclusion of anti-zionist links in the default browser's bookmarks. __{{emoticon}}__

I will remove antiX and never come here again. __{{emoticon}}__

There are no anti-Jewish/anti-Semitic links in antiX browser bookmarks. Look again and tell me/us which link(s) you claim are anti-Jewish.

Edit: Maybe you should visit this blog that campaigns against anti-Semitism and the owner used to use antiX

This was the first link I clicked after install. The title reads: A Anti-Zionist Blog
I was/am offended.

Read the title. It says Jews Against Borders. How can a Jewish site be anti-Jewish?

anti-Zionism does not = anti-Semitism

Zionism is a political ideology, no? I always thought it was. The religious jews typically are opposed to zionism, from what I understand. Zionism itself is in conflict with jewish beliefs laid out in the torah. To some, zionism is anti-semitic, to others it's not. But being anti-zionist or anti some other ideology doesn't automatically mean one is an anti-semite

Well-said.
There is a BIG difference between Judaism and Zionism. In fact, they are diametrically opposed!

Terrifying!

Anyone who sympathised with BitJam's YOU are a computer criminal! post will boil over this!

Considering the fact that most people have a bookmarks file of their own which they tend to import into any new browser, I reckon the forum is simply being trolled.

Normal people just delete offending bookmarks, not remove a whole operating system, especially as AntiX is the best OS around.

Alanarchy - this post is almost two years old. The point of my submission is the content of:


========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/4524478.html"
linktext was:"http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/4524478.html"
====================================


which, it seems to me, relates to the questions raised in BitJam's recent YOU are a computer criminal! post. Whether the maxpro4u was a troll or not is irrelevant. What is relevant are the broader matters of legality, freedom of speech, rule of law, the role of government Etc.

I attached my post to this two year old issue, partly because I tracked the Zygler story thru' it but also because I thought it further contextualised the opposing angles from which all this is observed. Read the posts attached to the Zygler story. I'd like to hear your views!

Sorry Duncan, I didn't look at the date. __{{emoticon}}__

That same article is also in Jews Sans Frontieres:

I gave the original poster the benefit of the doubt to explain him/herself. The OP had used the words anti-semitic and anti-Jewish and when questioned, left the site, but at least had the 'decency' to change the thred title. Who knows, maybe it made him/her think a bit. hope so.

We also got a lot of shit when we released antiX-M8"Intifada", some people in the linux blogsphere even organised a boycott against us and edition 7.2 Vetëvendosje was cited as supporting terrorism. Someone even claimed that version 8.5 Marek Edelman was pro-Nazi! (because of the boot login image).

Ah but we know who the real terrorists are, don't we? __{{emoticon}}__

These nice people spend their time monitoring the activities of some particularly nasty ones:
