My two cents:
Debian is about libre software.
We know that effective changes come for the inside.
We don't know what our[1] effect is on that country
that does have a conflict with it's neighbours.
Right now is that conflict causing a conflict in our community.
What I see as real problem,
is that we are now dealing with a "don't do that" request.
What I like to see:
* more and better libre software
* people visiting Debconf where ever
* people telling other people what they have seen while visiting Debconf
About seening for myself: Local theatre is screening currently
"Tel Aviv on fire", https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5791098/
And I'm looking for the movie title with a scene where
Palestin people are harrest at Isrealen "check point".
Actors of the Palestin people were actual isrealen.
