Fedi antisemitism

@acarson @gavi Not only that. They have their buzzwords like racism, fascism, nazi etc., but they apply it to everyone but themselves. Racism against black people is bad, but according to them, racism against white people is good. The same with antisemitism, the same with rightwing people or even leftwing but disagreeing with them. I have a French-speaking leftwing person who is pro-Israel. Of course he is a fascist according to them.

SharpLouis, my #LibLouis #DotNet wrapper, is updated to version 3.0.0.
Main changes:
* Updated to LibLouis 3.39.0 that was released yesterday.
* Now the Braille translation table metadata is fully handled. for example, some tables have several languages, like Israeli Braille table has Hebrew, Arabic and English, and now `FindByLanguage()` will return those. Also, missing fields like region, grade, system, version, unicode-range, variant are handled by the wrapper.

@serge @acarson Exactly, that's why I love conversing and discussing with Jews, religious or not. English language is poorer than Slavic languages in this case, btw, we have two words for Jew/Jewish person: one for the religion (basically analog to Judaist), and another for the ethnicity. Anyway, it's super interesting that, being monotheistic, you are allowed and even encouraged to question everything, hence your minds are more flexible and more open for critical thinking.
