I have informed Ask.com and I may take some action against them. A few comments in the right media outlets will have the required effect. No need to blame Muslims for this.

You all make good company. It should be easy for you to understand the mindset of the dictionary author: you share it. It is just as despicable for you to assume its muslims and insult a whole religion like you did. How can you expect anyone to respect your religion when you have no respect for other religions yourself? hey American Babe, you seem to be as racist towards muslims as you profess the dictionary author to be.

But the Princeton site has been updated to "WordNet 2.1", version in which the example about Israel seems to have been eliminated, perhaps because of other complaints... Not clear who wrote the original sentence, though. Zeno Here the Israel example appears as well:

Wasn't it Jordan that annexed the west bank after the 1948 war? In addition to this being offensive, it shows the blatant ignorance of history and facts typically displayed by the anti-Israel set.

Maybe the dictionary/site is run by former Nazis! But given the fact that so much of Europe is now Muslim (France being majority Muslim) it's probably just one of them, hiding behind more of their propaganda/lies. How despicable.
