From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

He's not a hero, he's a Zionist pig.

Don't know what his deal is and why he acted as such but the page is still there as is and it helped inform likely hundereds of thousands of people. Don't know if he had a change of heart but he created something larger than himself so that is fine. Just telling this so that people don't misdirect their anger against wikipedia.
Considering his lack of public statements and actual support for Israel and zionism I'd argue your wrong.
Conservatively moderating a shit show that is Israeli subject matter is one thing (and I've been banned from reddit for pointing out how bat shit insane zionism is) but actively supporting the regime is a completely different thing.
