It is quite the interesting coincidence that both Twitter and Reddit have driven away scores of intelligent, critical users in the year before an election.

article titles on its Arabic website include “The Holocaust — that great deception”, “Why do the Jews rejoice at the burning of Notre Dame in Paris?”, “Jews and Freemasons in the Arabs’ revolutions”, and “The Jews of ‘Israel’” — this is why their end is certain"

They also refer to the Ukrainian government as a “Nazi regime.”

Your choice, but choosing to believe that site is plainly asking to be lied to. Advising others to “check sources twice” is pretty laughable in this context. This is unintelligent and blatant propaganda.

You could also read up on (or just check the Wikipedia page for) “Nouvelle France;” there’s a section on the settlers. All around the Great Lakes and all the way down to the Gulf were French settlements, and the names are largely still there, just weirdly Anglicized. In Arkansas, “La Petit Roche” is Little Rock, there’s a mountain called Petit Jean that’s pronounced “Petty Gene,” and (my favorite) “Aux Arcs” became “Ozarks.” The French influence is still everywhere in the Louisiana Purchase area, it’s just misspelled, mispronounced, or we’ve forgotten it was once French. It blended right in.
