I hope she pays dearly for her racism and bigotry.

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.

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.

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.

No, this is Israel's standard. Listen to Giden Levy speaking in 2015 on how Israeli society lives with the occupation https://youtu.be/3EtNFXL_ykg

Assuming good faith, perhaps he didn't fully understand the implications of the bill. You know how old people are with technology. Even good people can pass bad laws if they don't understand what they are legislating and the consequences of it.
