Seriously? While hailing from Pakistan might suggest an automatic alignment with such a letter, and I do have all my sympathies for Palestinians but it's crucial to recognize that Wikipedia, and even WMF are intended to remain impartial. I believe supporting or denouncing political issues is not appropriate on this mailing list. Wikimedia or WMF meant to be unbiased, so let's leave it as it is.

I am deeply concerned about the humanitarian catastrophe in Palestine and believe that Wikimedia groups, affiliates, allies, and volunteers should 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.

Whats special about this conflict? The second Darfur genocide is
ongoing but you aren't making demands about that. The recent ethnic
cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh was hardly a good thing and yet you
remain silent. While I'm not upset of the outcome of the recent
fighting around Myawaddy are you not concerned about the loss of life
and destruction of cultural heritage in the area?

The WMF is not an oil company. It does not have merceneries on call
and nor should it.
