Questions Continue About The KDE League
OrangeSpyderMan writes "Here is a further piece by Dennis E. Powell ("DEP"), the other is an editorial, submitted simply by "staff". They make interesting reading, and add a lot of info to the story previously reported Of particular insterest is an apparent clarification of the tax status of the league, which, if anything, serves to complicate a little further the true role of the league, as the editorial goes on to explain. Basically the "staff" appear to wonder if it wouldn't have been more productive to give the $170,000 that the League appears to have collected (or be owed) directly to the KDE project."
Although, interestingly, the original mail that it links to seems to have magically disappeared from the archive.
Spooky.
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.

The thread where dep realized KDE-developers are nazis and anti-semites? It's right here:

Basically, few KDE-developers disagree with some of Israels policies regarding the Palestinians. But that does not make them in to nazis.
I espesially like this quote (by dep himself):
"it is always ironic to see german nationals, like members of AA who fall off the wagon from time to time, come out foursquare against genocide -- as if everyone *except* them has committed it -- unless the situation involves a new attempt to exterminate those who germany tried and failed to exterminate."

Gee dep, that sure is mature of you...
In short, deps problem with KDE-project is this: He's annoyed because few KDE-developers dared to disagree with Israel on a off-topic mailinglist. he's also annoyed when those same developers didn't want to get down on all fours and kiss USA's ass.

Yep, unfortunately people love to stoop to name calling and accusations. :(
Look twice any time you see someone calling somebody an anti-semite -its usually because they just want them to shut up because they dont agree with them. Being against Israeli policy doesnt make any one anti-semitic any more than being against American foreign policy makes you racist against whites.
Its sad and childish

Correction on the URL's: there's a space in the middle of the URL. Remove it, and it should take you right to the post/thread in question

Anti-Zionism != Anti-Semitism != Human rights
Beliving that a Jewish State should not exist is not the same as being appalled to see palastinian hospitals shot at, nor at seeing peoples homes and towns demolished by invaders, nor at seeing palastinian children killed by well-armed, well-funded soldiers firing rockets into civillian crowds from US-supplied helicopters.
Even those of us who would support the idea of an israelite homeland cannot possibly not be sickened by the foreign policy of the current prime minister. As you say, it's not anti-sematism.
George Bush and Ariel Sharon are a lot bigger threats to world peace than Saddam Hussein and bin Laden.
