Seriously? While hailing from Pakistan might suggest an automatic alignment with such a letter, and I do have all my sympathies for Palestinians but it's crucial to recognize that Wikipedia, and even WMF are intended to remain impartial. I believe supporting or denouncing political issues is not appropriate on this mailing list. Wikimedia or WMF meant to be unbiased, so let's leave it as it is.
