Hello Members,
It has been noted that there have been a lot of threads created on the topic of Israel/Palestine and a great number of these topics rapidly descend into bickering and other rule violations. It has also been noted that multiple threads on other subjects that are not about Israel/Palestine at all rapidly become derailed and similarly descend into bickering and other rule violations.
Since many of the threads and posts cover the same or similar ground, we've decided to keep only one thread for general Israel/Palestine discussion. Unless there is a specific event for which the topic is very different from the "general" discussion, new threads and/or posts about Israel/Palestine will be moved to the general thread.
Failure to confine general discussions to this thread or starting other threads for general discussion will be treated as Rule 6 violations and subject to a series of escalating penalties just like any other violation of the Membership Agreement.
We realize this topic inspires strong emotion, but it is disruptive to the forum as a whole to have multiple threads derailed to general Israel/Palestine discussion, so please confine such discussion to the general thread.
Thank you

Note: Since this has been up as an 'announcement' since February 11, 2011, I thought it was time to remove the announcement and house this instead in a "sticky" thread.
