Not sure why. What he says is true. Too bad these corps are supporting apartheid regimes such as Israel.
Flagged.
Meta:
When you flag something you're not supposed to also comment on it since it is better to shun and ignore spam or offtopic material than it is to try to bring attention to it, according to the site guidelines: If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.
Also, since I'm making a comment on the actual story it is not spam or offtopic.
I meant strong supporter of a controversial cause, not of a particular political party.
Israel is not closed to Western investment. Apple getting this through did not require significant action on the part of local government. In the North Korean case, the regime has to be talked about.
The reason I brought it up is because the Israel issue affects me personally since I try to maintain an Israel boycott. There is a growing group of boycotters around the world. Things are already hard enough with Intel having a big facility over there. This new facility by Apple is big news to us.
