If you want to be able to discuss Israel and Palestine outside the confines of I/P [View All]

[cali]

you might consider the following:

Steer clear of broad brush smears of Palestinians and Israelis.

Don't conflate Jews and Israelis.

Don't conflate Palestinians and Hamas.

Keep away from calling anyone involved a Nazi.

Don't use outrageous hyperbole.

Don't spread outrageous CTs about how Israel/the Jews control the media/DU

Don't accuse people of being "zionist trolls".

Don't accuse people of being "Hamas/terrorist apologists".

I appreciate that the mods let us discuss the I/P issues outside ot the I/P forum when the crisis in that part of the world intensifies. It causes a LOT more work and headaches for them. If we work to keep the inflammatory rhetoric to a minimum, that not only helps the mods and enhances the likelihood that threads will be retained in GD or GD-P, but increases the odds of a real discussion instead of a flamefest.
