> He is using a language that was mainly developed by Israeli and has Israeli on its core team, this is a flimsy excuse not to merge a PR. Laravele itself probably already has Israeli contributors too. This argument makes no sense. If he is using PHP and Laravele he is allegedly already in danger by your logic, since using code and libraries authored by Israeli. This isn't a github or a git issue, at all. You've done it! You've found a logical hole in the policies of a government! Everyone is happy, the maintainer is no longer at risk of death if they approve this PR, and the world is saved once again. Thank you for your service. For an actual response, the maintainer only states that they are not allowed to have any relationship with someone from Israel. While possible, they do not state that they cannot use software that was contributed to by someone from Israel.

That developer made himself a target for retaliation the moment he started using github and commit code there. Spare me your sarcasms.

    > Spare me your lack of empathy. This has nothing to with empathy, you can't be on Github and discriminate PR submitters because they are Israeli. Pretty sure it violates github TOS.

      > This has nothing to with empathy, you can't be on Github and discriminate PR submitters because they are Israeli. Pretty sure it violates github TOS. That is a hard decision. If the maintainer denies this PR for being from Israel, you're pretty sure it violates ToS, which in the worst case could result in their account being suspended. If the maintainer knowingly or unknowingly accepts a PR from Israel, the very real worst case is that they could be executed. I'm not sure which decision I'd make if I were in their shoes. I see your point now.
