I guess they don't like their comfortable zionism being questioned.

Please can you reconsider why
1. People from Iran are prevented from taking part
BUT
2. People from Israel are welcome.
This is pretty serious - and shows you have your values very very wrong.
And no, you can't hide behind a choose-your-own-sanctions-regime.
@rapsneezy @gnome you need to talk to the US Congress about this. GNOME Foundation is US-based entity, we genuinely cannot do anything about this.
If it was up to me I wouldn't exclude anyone just because of where they were born/live, but alas, I cannot do anything about it.
@rapsneezy people from Iran are prevented because the US has sanctioned Iran as a whole and the GNOME Foundation is a US-based organization. If the GNOME Foundation were to do transactions with people living in Iran, they'd put themselves at risk. All this to say, fuck the US
While financial affairs are messy, one thing's for sure is that the community does not tolerate Zionism
(To give some context on the following screenshots, someone made a complaint about someone publicly stating that they are donating to Palestine)
this is good to see
especially if it is official gnome policy
I do wish that one day GNOME and others move out of the USA
And my own personal wish is that they don't take the easy / lazy step of moving to Europe - but further afield where the global benefit will be much bigger.
thanks for sharing (your solidarity with humanity !)
