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. Is there a better forum for this discussion?

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 has changed owners, deliberately
or by force over the time.
The farm of my great grand-parents is now owned by Polish people and the land around
it which used to be Germany is now Poland. But that's a historic fact that cannot be
reverted. That doesn't mean I boycott Poland or Polish people in any way. In fact, one
of my best friends is from Poland.
