This article doesn't go into the reasons for which Steve Jobs was given up for adoption. His biological father reportedly said, "I honestly do not know, to this day, if Steve is aware of the fact that had it been my choice, I would have loved to keep him." Steve Jobs is claimed by Syrians as his own, and there are suggestions that the father of his mother forced him to be adopted out of Islamophobia or anti-Semitism.

- gyardley 15y agoOf course they are, but you know very well that the word 'anti-semitism' refers solely to Jews. If you can get everyone to switch over to 'Judeophobia', fine by me, but until then you'll have to accept that the meaning of words sometimes differs from their literal parts.
