FL - you are the Thread Head, so you call the shots, but I have a modest suggestion to make.

My proposal:

Everyone whose mind is already made up is not allowed to talk about Israel-Palestine anymore.

That means that everyone who takes the position that Israel has no right to exist, ok, you've had your say, now zip it.

Everyone who takes the position that Israel is completely without blame and it's all the Palestinians' fault, again, you've had your say, now cool it.

Carolyn already put the topic off-limits on the War thread, so the people who can't go a day without expressing the above emotions seem to be coming over here.

Personally, I'd love to see everyone who calls all Israelis and/or all Palestinians "terrorists" put into "time out" for a couple of days, and let the grown-ups keep talking.

It worked with my kids . . . .
