Microsoft Word is obviously bringing hidden anti Jewish hate-messages onto our desktops

The wingdings format gives a "sign" as an "equivalent" to each LETTER of the
alphabet. "NYC" doesn't mean NEW YORK CITY, but only "the letter N followed by
the letter Y and then the letter C". Indeed NEW YORK CITY would translate as
NEW YORK CITY
that has no meaning, as far as I can see. And, by the way, the sign for the
capital "Z" is Z

My version of Microsoft Word is some years old. How could someone
make, some years ago, any correlation between N(ew) Y(ork) C(ity) and the
"killing of the Jewish community"?

I don't even understand how can someone make that correlation TODAY!
Indeed, in
the New York tragedy were killed much less Jewish that people from
Paquistan (to
give only one example of an Islamic country).

On the contrary, 16 Palestinians were killed by the state of Israel the day
immediately after the NY tragedy. And a (socialist) government member said
very happy "it is the first time we kill 16 Palestinians and no one criticizes
Israel". From that day until yesterday the state of ISRAEL has killed at least
3 Palestinians each day.

So maybe NYC means "the Palestinians killed by the state
of Israel (after the NYC tragedy)"...

I don't think so. But this type of message says a lot about the society we
are living
in. Is this world ruled by Bush or by Sharon?
