Israel's Finance Ministry To Distribute OpenOffice

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the free-things-are-good-things dept.

dudeman2 writes "Israel National News reports that The Israel Finance Ministry said Sunday it will begin distributing Open Office for free as of next week. The ministry said that it would begin to distribute thousands of Open Office CD-ROMs at public computer centers and later on at community centers throughout the country, 'in a bid to reduce the technological gap between the rich and poor in Israel'."

    Unprovoked? They've been invaded ... that's one of the more provocative things I know of.

    Because /. is primarily a US site, and that is apparently the majority opinion in the US (at least, it appears that way to an outsider). Hell, it's worse than you say - anything even vaguly critical of Israel (or even pro-Palestinian) is often decried as being anti-Semitic.

    It's a sad state of affairs when reasoned debate is rendered impossible by that sort of thing.

    That is a lie. They have not engaged in aggression against any country. In contrast, several nations on Israel's borders have attacked it for no other reason than "wipe out Jews".

    They occupy territories gained in th 1967 war, which was started by Israel(they call it preventive or whatever, fact is, they started it)

    Also, just wondering, what would you think if people started coming on your land, with the intent of creating their own country on your land ?

    Can you come up with one example where the U.S. was not retaliating? Probably not.

    Laos, Grenada, Panama, Iraq,...

    Those bombed by the US.

    hint: In the views of some, the persons killed in WTC also died as an unfortunate result of military operations against an enemy.

    Why do you think it's somehow more justified when you kill innocent civilians?

    Thanks to the US, Afghanistan is now back as the number one heroin-provider to the world, and girls still cannot go to school.

    I guess the swastika blackmail stunt against MS did not work so now the zionists will carry forth their blackmail plan by attemtpting to undermine MS profits. Any company that does not pay the zionist extortionists faces similar consequences.

    These guys make the fabled "mafia" look like pikers.
