הדיון הזה מסרב למות.

נדב – הטקסט שאתה מצטט הוא דרישה של BDS כדי שסטולמן יוכל להופיע במקום. זה לא אומר שזו דעתם, או שהם שותפים פעילים לחרם. זה נכון שרוב הארגונים לא היו מוכנים לכתוב טקסט כזה (ואכן, סטולמן לא מדבר שם הפעם), ושזו אמרה פוליטית, אבל מדינת ישראל סובלת מעודף פוליטיזיה. אני חושב שלהתחיל חרמות וויכוחים עם קבוצה רק בגלל שלא היה להם את השכל להגיד „אם כך אז לא תודה“ זו הסחפות.

אני מציע שכל מי שזה מפריע לו, שלא ילך. כל מי שרוצה ללכת, שילך, וזהו. All in favor say "aye", but quietly and to themselves.

Hey all,
I just spoke to the organizer, Sami Abu-Schada. Talk is in the
Hebrew-Arab theater in Yafo.
They sound like good folks. And they would be happy to have people come
(and don't want to get in to the politics).

They sure *do* want to get into the politics :(
Did you see the emphasized text in the end of that invitation?

	"the organizers of the event would like it to be known that they are
	in full support of the rights of Palestenians. In particular, the
	organizers support the call for boycott of complicit Israeli
	institutions. Richard Stallman is following the boycott during this
	trip out of respect to the Palestinians hosts who invited him to the
	region"

Do people who "don't want to get in to the politics" normally include such
texts on invitations to talks about software?

As it stands, because this text is so boldly included in the *invitation*,
it looks like just *attending* this talk means you support this statement
by its hosts. And if I consider that "complicit Israeli institutions"
include, according to their definition, almost all Israeli institutions
(and not just those directly involved with the occupied territories), certainly
even insitution I ever worked at or studied at, I frankly don't see how I can
attend this talk.
