Hi all, I'll ask forgiveness in advance for starting a probable flame. I support WMIL stance: equity is absolutely within our Wikimedia values, and supporting LGBTQ rights is always a good thing. But I cannot help but see the enormity of omission here: the Israeli government just passed a law proclaming Israel a "Jewish" nation-state¹, and it's bombing for the n-th time Gaza, where over 1 million people are sieged. It saddens me a bit that WMIL is getting political, stepping "outside" our wiki box for a good but still controversial topic, with a minor impact, while major things are happening. Purely in terms of numbers the scale of the latter are huge: the scale of the first much smaller. I see a double standard (Jewish LGBQTs important; Arab-Israelis non important) which is directly against the equity we we're talking about in the first place. Again, sorry, but I couldn't shut up this time.
