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.

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.

Don't.

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.

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.
