Re: [Haifux] Cancelled Speech in Haifa, Israel

An update on the RMS issue. I know it is not really my place to intervene here, as I'm a mostly-inactive member of Haifux, and I know many of you may be annoyed by what I'm about to say, but still, I would like to hear Stallman in Haifa and I'm trying to see if this can be made to happen
