Well, interesting article. I generally steer clear of Israel/Palestine arguments because they are so Byzantine, so convoluted, so many good rebuttals on each side for what seems like a cut and dried accusation. I don't like Israeli troops using US style doctrine guaranteeing maximum "collateral damage" and I don't like seeing Palestinians ( and of course by now, there are many other interests than the Palesinians at play) repeatedly sabotage any possibilities of peace with terrorist attacks.
But Mordechai Vanunu is another matter. This is a man who opposed the nuclearization of his nation's military for transparently selfless motives. His 18 year imprisonment by the Israelis is completely indefensible and abhorent. This is the most serious allegation against MicroSoft I have ever heard.
