New projects
I don't really know whether this is a irritating problem for some people but it is for me
Sometimes the newest projects shows project from different countries like china, japan, spain too i think
Well it irritating as not all of us speak a different langauge and can read chinese or japan

But why be bothered by it? Like Scimonster said, it shows the diversity of nationalities and cultures we have here on Scratch!

But most of my projects are in English; blocking Israel is blocking me. ^^

Yes I know but it is annoying anyway
How is it annoying?
You might not be able to read what they're saying, but not everyone can speak English, either. Why should you be able to block them just because you don't speak the same language?
And what if a person from a non-English country uploads projects in English, but you can't see it because of where they live? Seems really discriminatory to me.

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Oh, yeah; +1 to discrimination part.
