For the record, from what I've seen so far I have high expectations for Wikimania 2011, and the issues mentioned in this thread plus the climate aside, I'm sure it's gonna be awesome.
To clarify: I don't think that this issues are being put aside. As you may know there's an ongoing discussion on foundation-l: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2010-August/060476.html

I believe that Israel is not an appropriate place in which to hold a conference such as wikimania for all the reasons mentioned above, and i believe that it is fair to reconsider the decision,
That's not possible.
and i hope that we, along with the wikimedia foundation, and along with the israeli participants too, will find reason to address the issue with view to fairness and practicality.
I hope that this will be possible. I suggest you to join the abovementioned discussion.
