Reading the threads over the recent period it is clear that lots have very little to do but scaremonger, make things up and love the drama of the Middle East troubles. It feels like a different site reading the threads on this section. Glad it's hidden, it's crazy.

Ever thought of toning it down and attempting to get along. No wonder some of the countries in the ME don't get along if just chatting about it over there causes this amount of argument. Even basic history gets twisted to suit the victim/aggressor viewpoint.

I feel for all the innocents everywhere, the ones who get the headlines and the ones who are forgotten. The world is a mad place and not fair.

The OP found them though so not that hidden after all

Obviously they can be found if you navigate to the Conflict in the Middle East board.

They used to appear in trending if busy enough but that got stopped by MN.

@JaneJeffer threads on the ME board never appear in Trending so people have to seek them out rather than just find them from looking at what’s trending.

What do you mean it’s hidden?

Personally, I listen when people speak with a reasonable voice by which I mean polite most of the time.

But once I’ve identified someone as rude I don’t really listen to what they are saying anymore. I’m just waiting for the insults to begin which never takes long.

It can certainly be hard on here to be a supporter of Israel as I am but it is very important people (including I) hear the views of others so best we all listen to each other.

I’ve sometimes thought the same thing that no wonder countries at war find it so hard to negotiate peace when even on MN there is so much hostility towards anyone holding a different point of view.

For example, as someone who supports Israel (but can see both sides as no particular skin in the game) I’ve been accused of many awful things such as not caring about innocent civilians being killed or babies starving.

Many posts get deleted on these boards because people throw personal insults around like confetti. I think they must enjoy conflict because it certainly doesn’t help anyone living through a war.
