This could have something to do with wanting to allow more people to make their own flags. Not _everyone_ has their own set of wavelength-accurate colours.

The Jewish religion is a major part of the Jewish culture. Therefore, most, if not all of the symbols in the Jewish culture have religious origins. Does this mean that the secular Jew must renounce _all_ Jewish symbols? I suppose that this is more of a personal view, but it seems to me that most secular Jews choose not to do this, including myself. This is why it has not been brought up as an issue in the Knesset, for instance.

Actually, I was referring to Herr Mann's position, that the Israeli flag is a religious symbol.

As for non-Jews, well, that's life in the land of the Jews - some of the national symbols will not be to your liking.

To confirm Tal's findings.

Have downloaded Ximian Gnome that comes with Mozilla 0.8. Fired up Mozilla without any font installtion or browser setup and am able to _read only_ Hebrew. Fonts are not the nicests but quite legible.

Though sometimes I loose the Hebrew, for some odd reason.

Next I'll try Galeon because am not sure how stable Mozilla is.

Sorry for this intradiction into the current thread, as well as the use of English...
