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'."

    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.
