Linux Developer declines contributions from Israel Supporters

feeling a need to make a statement about Israeli aggression against the Palestinians, developer Clement Lefebvre has made the following statement -

"I am deeply touched by what is happening over there. I feel disgust and guilt with us passively witnessing it and our money and weapons supporting it. I spend a lot of time working and giving away, sharing and receiving to and from a lot of people.

I hope for these people to be able to live decently in the future and for me not to have anything to do with the misery they’re in at the moment.


I don’t want any money or help coming from people who support the actions of the Israeli government.


Thank you for your understanding. This is very important to me."

Nice to see some conscience in the technical community.
