Respectful of his hosts? Don't think so. They kind of twisted his arm. It would have not happen the other way around by the way (if the Israelis were paying for his trip).
- glimmung 15y agohow do you know? have you asked him?
- rbanffy 15y agoThe obvious way to counter that would be for the interested Israeli parties offer to pay for his trip with no strings attached as whether he gave or not he gave speeches for the Palestinian group that's paying the current plan. Can't be that hard to cough up funds for that. I doubt Stallman demands to fly first class or private jet. Another, perhaps better approach would be to contact the Palestinian group who's paying for RMS's trip and offer to foot part of the bill, perhaps making his stay longer and more productive. Such dialogue is important and appears to be absent from this affair.
