I don't think it's really against the law anywhere, and we haven't heard
reports about there being any issues
(I did ask explicitly).
The problem is that BDS (and others?) are explicitly acting against wikimania. I'd
love to hear more reports
on this. I think having a wikimania in haifa is actually going
to be beneficial to all parties. :-)
For starters I think we need to figure out why palestinians aren't attending.
If it's really a small sample, it might simply be because none happen to have time.
Could folks ask around on their home wikis ?
sincerely,
