You're contradicting yourself: You're saying hamakor-discussions isn't<br>
interesting because it's "discussions about FOSS rather than FOSS",<br>
but now that we have a discussion, which is even less FOSS-specific than<br>
usual, you don't think it doesn't belong in hamakor-discussions?<br>

No,there are always exceptions to the rules, and this is one of them. For the one in a year discussion about it that made its way here, I'm not going to join another list.<br>
<br>
As for it belonging on another list, I don't really care. It's here, and until Marc says that it goes, it IMHO stays.<div class="im"><br>

But seriously, many of us (including me) already posted their opinion<br>
on this matter in hamakor-discussions, and I for one don't want to repeat<br>
myself on a second list.<br>

Don't.<br>

We can have our own discussion without you, just as the people on the other lists can have one without me. There can be multiple discussions, by different (and overlaping) groups of people about the same topic. Probably even in multiple languages.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Both mailing lists have public archives ( discussions is on <a href="http://hamakor.org.il/pipermail/discussions/2011-May/thread.html">http://hamakor.org.il/pipermail/discussions/2011-May/thread.html</a>). Thus, it is enough to point that a live discussion goes on there, and those who wish to read opinions which were already voiced can do so easily. No need to copy-paste. This is the beauty of the online archive, which behaves like a forum (pull-based, upon request) as opposed to the push-based mailing list.</div>

Note that hamakor-discussions is in Hebrew, while this list is in English. That's enough reason IMHO to keep it going and to keep it separate. Bear in mind that not everyone in or interested in FOSS in Israel reads or writes Hebrew, and I'm sure RMS doesn't and the Palestinians who are sponsoring his trip probably do not.<div class="im">
