This reminds me of a very similar discussion held on Hamakor's mailing

the Linux mint distribution hates Jews:

No, what started was that he made some inaccurate statments about the Israeli occupation of "Palestine" and asked that Linux Mint not be used in Israel or by Israeli's.

It had AFAIK nothing to do with any joke, fortune, etc. It was an outright request.

By comparison it would be like RMS asking that no one in Israel or any Israeli use any GNU software (which he has not).
