Hello,
It seems that very few people watch the talkpage, so I repost my comment
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Joint_Statement_on_Palestine#c-SCP-2000-20240413022700-What_WMF_should_do?>
here:)
"*We call upon the Wikimedia Foundation to take proactive measures to
ensure the safety of volunteers, communities, partners and knowledge and
memory institutions from Palestine contributing to the dissemination of
knowledge. We urgently request the Wikimedia Foundation to prioritize the
unbiased dissemination of information and the accurate and timely
documentation of the ongoing human-made humanitarian disaster and the
erasure of cultural heritage. *"
Previously, WMF published a statement
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2023/12/05/wikimedia-foundation-calls-for-unrestricted-internet-connectivity-and-access-to-knowledge-in-gaza/>
to
calls for unrestricted internet connectivity and access to knowledge in
Gaza in December. The Human rights team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_team> also published an a
on-wiki statement
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Human_Rights_Team/Impact_of_the_war_in_Gaza_and_Israel>
regarding
digital and physical security best practices and the Internet Outages
Guide <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/10/25/the-internet-outages-guide/>.
WMF is only an organization which hosts and support Wikimedia projects,
rather than a Human rights organization. Thus, I am curious about the
petitioner's thoughts on *what further action WMF should take to fulfil
the requirements of this statement*. Thanks.
Regards,
SCP-2000

*Subject:* [Wikimedia-l] Joint Statement on Palestine
Dear fellow Wikimedians,
On the 7th of April, a joint statement was published by Wikimedia groups,
ally organization, and individual Wikimedians expressing concern over the
humanitarian catastrophe in Palestine. The statement calls on "all
Wikimedia groups, affiliates, allies, and volunteers to unite in solidarity
with humanity and demand an immediate and lasting ceasefire to halt the
tragic loss of life and destruction of Palestinian cultural heritage."
Additionally, the signatories call upon the WMF to "prioritize the
impartial dissemination of information and accurate, real-time
documentation of the current human-caused humanitarian disaster and erasure
of cultural heritage" and to "take proactive measures to ensure the safety
of volunteers, communities, partners and knowledge and memory institutions
from Palestine contributing to the dissemination of knowledge."
Since the initial release, several additional groups and individuals have
signed on to the statement, and others are kindly urged to do the same.
The statement can be found and signed here:

Peace and justice for all,
Farah
