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

[lcerf]

Well, if nobody is actually funding his trip to Israel, he is somewhat forced  
to cancel it! According to the article you cite, this is the explanation and  
I really do not understand how this could be interpreted as a boycott. He  
accepted to give a talk to Israel but cannot go for financial reasons. It is  
not that money is controlling free speech, it is that money is controlling  
the transportation industry!

Now he can still talk about Free software (and make a living) by giving a  
talk to Palestian people. Why would he refuse? I am sure that if Israel  
people would pay him the trip, he would be happy to give a talk there too  
(what he actually planned to do).
