WTF Is Up with MAC & Oxford Dictionary
Who is Mrs. Mac the Frequent Flyer?
Shimon Peres Booed At Oxford
Oxford University Student Doesn’t Know about “Abbreviation”
The Devil's Dictionary - Nigerian edition
WTF Happened In Norway?
This is apparently what is written in MAC's built-in dictionary which is based on the Oxford Dictionary:
re•jec•tion•ist |riˈjek sh ənist|noun [often as adj. ]
a person who rejects a proposed policy, esp. an Arab who refuses to accept a negotiated peace with Israel.
WTF?
What garbage is this?! It will not even go into the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict to refute the Israeli lie that it is the Arabs who reject peace instead of the other way around (you can read the news to learn who is opposed to peace), that is a side note. What is Apple doing using such a partisan and false - at least contentious - example for a word that easily lends itself to other illustrations?
This is incredible, and I used to love Apple. I am certain that this is Apple and not Oxford that it behind it. And I an not a conspiracy theorist, but I will play one this time: the programmer for Apple's MAC dictionary must be a Zionist fanatic and wanted to impugn Arabs.
I personally feel the IT sector is as a whole hostile to Arabs. Besides this Apple outrage, there is the fact that Microsoft's Windows for years never included Arabic as one of the languages programed into its software. If you wanted Arabic you need to follow a dozen confusing steps online and download it, but uncommon language that are spoken by thousands and dead languages are already built in. But Arabic - a language of hundreds of millions - was nowhere to be found. WTF is up with that? Pure racism.
And there is the fact that Google News had a Hebrew page before Arabic - again, more people read Arabic than Hebrew.
Whatever, man! The last part is tongue-n-cheek.
