[Trisquel-users] (off topic) Stallman cancels talks in Israel

[alonivtsan]

I was disappointed to read yesterday that Stallman decided not to come and  
talk at universities in Israel following a request by the Palestinians who  
are funding his trip (he will also give talks in the Palestinian  
territories). I think it would have been better if he had cancelled his trip  
altogether since now he got publicity for boycotting Israel instead of for  
the ideas of the Free Software Foundation. Here is the link to the Ha'aretz  
article:

Anyway, it's ironic that the FSF complains about software controlling its  
users, while in this case money controls free speech which is just as bad.
