This thread is getting very heated. From this point forward, all messages
to this mailing list are being moderated to address the increasingly strong
statements being made here.
This list is about the Wikimedia movement. It is not about the political
situation in the Middle East. Messages that are not constructive will be
rejected and/or discarded.
