That project goes against the spirit of free software:

> "Israel" is blocked

Neither you nor the linked comment provide any context for that. Is it not possible that Israel blocked because of a request by the Israeli government, and not because of a political statement?

What other context besides "Israel" do you need?

I guess, good on them for at least blocking the country outright and being honest about it, and not sneakily distributing malware like some very good people did to Russians back in 2022.

- The project's Github page links to an organization that promotes anti-Israel initiatives (BDS)

- The project's web page blocks users from Israel

- The project's developer delegitimizes Israel in response on HN

Surely we need more "context"
