Israel's Finance Ministry To Distribute OpenOffice

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'."

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


    Iraq
    Vietnam
    Korea
    Afganistan
    Panama
    Peru

    And well, is it not easy to call every one
    arguing about Israel anti-semitic?

    You that have so much knowledge of history
    should know that the palestinians are a semitic
    people.

    Given that the U.S. have never been invaded: retaliate for what?? For not conforming to U.S. ideas of how the entire world should do their bidding?
    Never mind history, start with a dictionary and look up "invasion" and "retaliation".

    The U.S. acts internationally with all the aggressive zeal of a Jehovah's Witness at your door, and smarts and subtlety to match (that is, zero). With a vast military arsenal to back them up, and little to no compunctions about using it. "Why do they hate us so", sheesh it's bloody obvious innit?
