HP isn't bad in some areas
The problem is it is hard to know the difference between good and bad.
That's bad
But so is every other tech company out there really. Not to say that that we should ignore it but at the end of the day the scale of the problem is much bigger than HP. If I started not buying from companies with some sort of questionable history I wouldn't have anything to buy.
HP is a big company that's getting into Linux. I think that's good in general.
AFAIK Israel aren't terrorists but being part of the ongoing conflict with Palestine is disgusting.
By that definition basically ever country is a terrorist. As it turns out history is very dark. You should be more specific instead of just using a vague word like "terrorist." Terrorism can used to justify questionable actions as shown though recent history.
I'm not American and there is too much muddying of the water for me to make any opinion about the conflict other than to say to participate on either side is unconscionable.
I don't agree with everything Israel does but you have to consider the environment they're in. They may be aggressive and racist but they're not terrorists.
