I appreciate the reply, but apologize but I'm still confused, and I think the
lack of a definition is a cop-out and I find it ironic that someone who has the
ability to moderate discussion cannot even define the rubric they are using to
do so!

So just to clarify your stance is that stating historically factual statements
about human rights violations in a country where the project has decided to
whole an event and where people of specific faiths and ethnicity will be
excluded is off limits? Because that’s what your quoted statement
Hi Alex,
Can you provide the definitions of anti-semitism and "antirealism" that you're
using?
Too often the excuse of anti-semitism is used as a smokescreen to avoid
criticism of the Israeli government and their policies. (See the many
thinkpieces written about Ilhan Omar in the USA)

Why do we have a code of conduct if list maintainers are going to depart from
it and make their own rules? You’ve have not assumed good faith and your not

Hi,
this is a warning and note from us listmasters. Please come back to a
civilized discussion style. I don't want to see any antisemitism or
antisrealism on that list. Either you have something substantial to add to
the _debconf_ discussion or please don't take part in that discussion.
I’ll now be silent the list maintainer says if I discuss apartheid or any
further criticism of Israel that myself and anyone else critical will be banned
from Debian mailing lists.
So much for the social contract and so much for anti-fascism. It’s a very sad
day for the Debian project it’s
It is good to read this civil discussion on such a difficult topic.
Maybe obvious, but I'll state it anyway: When deciding not to accept a
bid based on a moral principle, (instead of some Debian specific
criteria) I hope all remember that principle might stand for future
decisions, as a

Dear Nasir, please don't impose your political stance on others, it's
perfectly fine for an unrelated event to be held in places with major
conflicts.
Debconf held in _insert_a_government_'s jurisdiction area does NOT mean
Debian support _insert_a_government_ in any way, even in places such as

Roger,
Respectfully speaking, being vocal against apartheid and international crimes
is the opposite of hate speech. Furthermore, I think bringing up other
countries is off-topic.

Thank you for these emails.
Providing tacit approval for apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and international
crimes ought to be antithetical with Debconf's - and the entire Debian
project's - mission. I share Nasir El-Amin's frustration and feeling of
betrayal over this poor decision, and am also
No there isn’t a better forum because our social contract says we don’t hide
issues. Someone would like to downplay the apartheid and sweep this discussion
elsewhere.

That’s not even a logical example we’re talking about an ongoing apartheid and
continued theft of land by a illegitimate state that’s violating international
law and treaties. Your trying to water down what’s going on in Israel. United
Nations has described Israel as an apartheid state. When
I think we can safely agree that past actions are not the same as ongoing
actions. The objections raised include ongoing actions, not just past ones.
I think we can also agree that entrenched parties aren't going to convince
each other about the rights and wrongs of Israel via this mailing list.

According to this logic, you wouldn't be allowed to host a DebConf in almost any
country in the world as almost any stretch of land
This isn’t true and your going to hear claims that Muslims are blocked by
Israel being false from Israelis as they like to pretend it doesn’t occur.
The reality however is Israel even blocks Muslims from non middle eastern
countries like Indonesia:
