I wonder why everyone in Tavern seems to be pro-Israel, like more than usual.
Just something I noticed over the years.
Meta Andrew T.
If it were me, I'd flag the post for mod attention and request for general comment clean-up, and see what's left. If the problematic comments are still there, then escalate to meta.

@forestdistrustsStackExchange We've 2-3 israeli folks
forest distrusts StackExchange
Ah that explains it.
Journeyman Geek
Actually exactly the same reason the DMZ's pro palestinian
forest distrusts StackExchange
@JourneymanGeek Nah the DMZ is pro-Palestinian because me and J are there. :P

(I've got other reasons, but ... that's even messier politics, for a calmer time :D )
forest distrusts StackExchange
@MetaAndrewT. Unfortunately, some of the comments are pointing out the major errors in the answer, and I don't want those comments destroyed.
Journeyman Geek
@forestdistrustsStackExchange personal stakes in sense?
forest distrusts StackExchange
@JourneymanGeek Like, you've got Israeli family or something?

@forestdistrustsStackExchange Naw
Well I THINK my grandad's cousins grandaughter married a Jewish fella...
forest distrusts StackExchange
Well as long as you don't support apartheid.
Journeyman Geek
@forestdistrustsStackExchange Its 'complicated'
forest distrusts StackExchange
ah
Journeyman Geek
And involves
really
old grudges. It might be a good story, but not for right now :D
forest distrusts StackExchange
haha
I just don't like racism or genocide. For me it's as simple as that.
Though I don't have any personal stakes in the fight (I live far away).
Journeyman Geek
6:22 AM
Yup
One of the folks here's in a town that's under rocket fire
forest distrusts StackExchange
Many would say a town that isn't his to occupy. That's the whole reason people are upset.
It's not as simple as "group A shoots at group B just because".
Journeyman Geek
I though we're staying out of politics. Getting bombed by anyone's bad
bombs don't care which god you pray to.
forest distrusts StackExchange
Hey you mentioned it. :P But yeah, bombs are never good.
Journeyman Geek
Well - I don't think there's stakes any more personal than that
forest distrusts StackExchange
Especially unguided ones.
Journeyman Geek
6:24 AM
I mean, I sympathise with J but...
forest distrusts StackExchange
Sure there is. Living in the side that's getting screwed is worse than the side that's screwing.
After all, only one side is having news agencies systematically bombed.
Journeyman Geek
Its the governments that're mainly doing the screwing
forest distrusts StackExchange
(And of course I'm only referring to their governments)
Journeyman Geek
Regular people don't really have a choice
forest distrusts StackExchange
Yeah. I think the civilians have some fault in that they support the governments.
But they're not the ones actually going out of their way to murder, they're just complicit. It's the governments that really are doing serious harm.
Journeyman Geek
6:26 AM
Anyway
I stepped out of DMZ cause politics
and we're getting dangerously close to that
forest distrusts StackExchange
ah ok
Journeyman Geek
If its alright with ya, I'd like to trashcan the previous conversation
Nothing
wrong
with it, and I'm not censoring it, but yanno
forest distrusts StackExchange
Yeah, lots of Israelis in here who'd get offended, or something?
I don't really care. You can trash it.
Journeyman Geek
Or hurt
Thank you
forest distrusts StackExchange
Hurt?
I mean, obviously I don't "want" you to. But I'm more likely to get banned if it stays up. :P
