Ha! What a joke! When I asked some Wikipedian to come and vote on something, the commons community thought this was rude of me. Service or not - we don't have a voice there. But that a diff story. Yoni Weiden

Every Foundation wiki user arguably has an interest, since it is a service wiki.
With my previous encounters with the deletion process I found it insufficient.
Also,
I do not wish to promote a community discussion about these images. I
know
that the foundation can call Veto on this, and this is why I am
requesting
this. If the Israeli press gets hold of this, it can seriously damage Wikimedia's reputation and our Hebrew Wikipedia. People get easily
offended
in such cases. I am asking the Foundation to prevent being on the major
news
channels in this bad light. I do not need to remind you what happened in Denmark and the Muslim cartoons - It was a world wide fiasco.
The Foundation has an obvious wish not to appear to exercise editorial control, but obviously there's speedy deletion criteria for Commons as well. And it looks like Anthere exercised those ...
With this sort of thing ("deletion reason: what is this sh*t, kill it"), the wiki communities will pretty much always be a reasonable first place to approach.
