What's up with Israeli threads being banned from the greatest page?
What exacatly is the reason for this? I don't really buy the argument that it's because those topics might get out of hand. That can happen with any topic in any forum, the Israeli board is no different. So what's the deal with this?
1. Because it's a niche issue that is not really fundamental to the mission of DU.
And I would prefer that a small number of very passionate and motivated hard-core partisans did not fill up the greatest page with their one issue.
It doesn't help that whenever we permit discussion of the Arab/Israeli conflict outside the tightly-regulated I/P forum, some people will post incredibly ignorant things.
