The rule is no Israel/Palestine posts...unless there is really big news. Since this is the dominant story, DU is allowing discussion outside of the Israel/Palestine group for a time.

It sucks that the subject has divided DU'ers so much. Any thread on the subject deteriorates into name-calling and ad-hominem attacks within the first 4 replies to an OP. Sometimes it more closely resembles Truth Social than DU!
