With the violence and horrors this war has produced, many people struggle to see the meaning of even engaging in dialogue. After people witness the suffering of their own family, they often lose hope that the painful divide can ever be healed. Some even lose the desire for that healing to take place.

Perhaps it’s because they have never seen or been a part of a productive dialogue, one that comes from a place of love and empathy, and that creates light and compassion.

It's crucial for Israelis & Palestinians to be the ones communicating. Those without a direct connection to this conflict shouldn’t be “picking sides” but rather encouraging each side to come closer to the other.

The solutions clearly won't come from those who currently hold the power, so let us rise from below and access the power we would have, if we stood united.

Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion

The sole purpose of this community is to discuss Israeli and Palestinian issues. It is not the place for hurling insults, rehashing grudges, or making up history. Any conversation that veers into the "if only your people had" realm will be deleted or locked right away. I started this community in the potentially fruitless hope that we may have a civil conversation about this issue.

Rules:

  1. References to historical events must include a reputable source. The definition of reputable is up to the mods. Keep that in mind.
  2. Articles from reputable sources only.
  3. No name-calling. That's what DMs are for. /s
  4. Keep it in English. If I don't understand the word, it gets removed. Obvious exceptions would be the use of proper names and references. For example, "wadi" when used to refer to a place is acceptable.
  5. Discussions that are heading into the probability of becoming a flame war will be locked.
  6. Repeat offenders will be forced to find another community.
  7. Anti-Zionism is ok. Anti-Semitism is not.
  8. Whataboutism is for toddlers. Try to grow up.
  9. Posting articles about current events is encouraged. Posting the same story from 20 different sources is not.
  10. Posting an article purely for the purpose of saying "Look what monsters they are" is discouraged unless it can generate an honest discussion. This is probably the most difficult rule to follow.
  11. No calling anyone a terrorist.
  12. No YouTube links. Some of us can read.
