These two lines might make Tor slightly faster, but will put far more
load on the Tor network.  The NumEntryGuards line will also make the
client more vulnerable to certain anonymity-set-reducing attacks.

Either 'Cav' is seriously afraid of some node named "IL", or he is
trying to protect his users from those $DEROGATORY_ADJECTIVE Jews and
didn't put in the curly braces needed to exclude all nodes in a
country.  (And didn't realize that Mossad can rent servers in other
countries.)
