Israeli activists tell Hawking to yank his Intel chips over Palestine

Re: Mr Hawking, you should listen to “Palestinian academics”

umm yes zero is a pretty important concept and an undisputed Hindu concept.

Clearly facts are of no use to you, who would rather use deception to bolster an argument than stick to the facts.

Actually it is a fallacy that the Arabs invented the numbers.

The so called Arabic numerals were actually invented in India by the Hindus. When first introduced to Europeans they incorrectly believed them to be Arabic so they have incorrectly retained the name "Arabic Numerals" ever since.

Re: fair enough

So I suppose in your professional dealing you also try to avoid all dealings with Chinese companies because of China's brutal occupation of Tibet, or China's less than stellar record of human rights.?

Or is your fake outrage only reserved for certain ethic group, a bit like Hawking who's new found morality didn't put a dampener on his trip to China a few years back?

Speaking of human rights, one wonders why Hawking instead of taking the moral hight ground saw fit to attend a conference in Iran, yes that last bastion of human rights where homosexuality is punishable by death and political dissidents are tortured and hanged.

Hypocrisy, yours, Hawking's equally as ugly.
