While I love legit, informational, open-minded arguments in general, there were a couple hate-speech attacks against a recent, Belgian/Jewish-themed post here that immediately smashed our #1 rule here (“Netiquette”) to bits.
Those came from two individuals in particular (same instance), and disgusted both myself and my co-mod.
I want to remind everyone here-- for anyone new to this community, it’s both common-sense and classic Netiquette to suggest that if one wants to argue hard, it’s best to start with some politeness where possible.
The two banned can appeal, if they like. I’m not opposed to talking things out, assuming good-faith is involved.
I also want to clarify that the original comic by no means attempted to ‘pick international sides.’ It was in fact an attempt to depict internal strife between people within a small community. That, and nothing more.
EDIT: I’ve made some major revisions in my message above, seeking for better clarity. Thank you for re-reading.
What makes you think I care about the lives of genocidal settlers for? There are no jews in the illegitimate settler-colony; those are all zionist settlers-- which is to say I hold them in the same disregard I hold Amerikan, British, Dutch, French, Spaniard, and German settlers. I pray that the Jews who recognize Israel as a genocidal blasphemy toting their name as a shield got the fuck outta there before shit popped off, but if they align with the settlers, adios and arrividerci, motherfucker.
Centuries of humiliation and collapse upon you and yours, bloodmouth. If you want to be angry at someone, be angry at yourself for being on the wrong side of history.

You are so hung up on seeing the world in black and white that all you got left is toxic and misanthropic hate speech. A well differentiated discussion about a topic as complex as the Israel-Palestine conflict is obviously not possible with you.
