First and foremost, let me just be clear that my message announcing the day of action was entirely my own. I do not claim to represent the Arabic Wikimedia movement in any way, shape, or form. In fact, the words "day of action" and "going dark" was my own terminology for describing what has happened. While I only used factual information about this action, I did offer some commentary, such as my characterization of SOPA and PIPA as "legal travesties".
The intent of my email was never to provoke animosity or invite whataboutism, which are inevitable side effects of having such a diverse community. I'm sure some pro-censorship people were also triggered by the anti-SOPA action, and some pro-Kremlin ones by the support for Ukraine. In any situation, you'll find people "both-sides https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/05/08/very-fine-people-charlottesville-who-were-they-2/"ing it.
I echo my colleague Mr. Edri's call for the release of Israeli hostages, who I hope will remain safe and evade bombing and sniping https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67745092 attacks by Israeli forces, and once released get the necessary healthcare in Israeli hospitals that are still fully functional https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/gaza-faces-public-health-disaster-un-humanitarian-office-says-2023-12-13/ .
I also fully agree with Mr. Edri's very real concern over the rise in European (and let me add American https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/08/14/jews-will-not-replace-us-why-white-supremacists-go-after-jews/) antisemitism, as well as other racist hate speech and violence.
I reiterate my wishes of safety, peace, and justice for everyone, and for the atrocities of death, destruction, and displacement https://www.ft.com/content/c09cc412-ae5c-423e-8e1d-b888d9f65598 being committed in Palestine to stop.
