To think mumsnet should explain why Gaza threads keep getting deleted?

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Outlandish and provocative statements? Thousands of them already?

Tiny update here. I’m the OP. My 12 year old mumsnet account was just deactivated - I posted ONE thread on Gaza this morning, and this one. Thanks mumsnet for answering my question. It’s because you’re pro-Israel and pro-g and pro ethnic cleansing.

You don’t want the evidence out in the open, just shunted away in a side discussion on SITME or whatever it’s called.

Silenced, cancelled. This is what I’m talking about it. While the Ukraine thread is on its 27th thread on chat, everyone’s up in arms if Gaza appears on AIBU. Says it all. Wait for this thread to get deleted as it outs mumsnet pro-Israel policy, 20 months into a genocide.

The amount of “why won’t Mumsnet allow us to be anti-Semitic” type posts over the past year has been astounding.

Many can’t even see or understand how what they are saying is anti-Semitic. I can only imagine the kinds of things that are said between them and other people who share their views.

Frightening.

Because you're not allowed to criticize Israel or its army as it's viewed, very unfairly, as anti-Semitism.

That’s not true. Have you been on the CITME board?

Hundreds of threads criticising Israel. Its’s the anti-Semitism that’s the problem.

And the rape denial.

It’s quite easy to criticise Israel without being anti-Semitic, despite so many people being seemingly utterly incapable of doing so.

Your post OP says it all. YOU think there was nothing antsemetic but who are you to decide. It's often the case that people who decide that something wasn't jew hating make hurtful comments. Would you question whether or not something was racist if someone told you they were upset by something someone had said? No, you wouldn't. You'd respectfully comfort them, you wouldn't question it. The amount of vile pure jew hatred that often gets disguised whilst being protective of gaza is astounding and yes you can criticise israel without being a jew hater but jew haters use it as a way of being free and open to spout jew hatred. Jews and Israel are not the same thing unless you are a jew hater 😊

The IDF is almost 100% Jewish people. So yes, Jewish people are conscripted into that army.

Difference is maybe that the Ukraine threads tend to have run sequentially over the last few years..

There's generally just one active Ukraine thread running at a time, people don't start up a brand new one every time a notable event/attack/atrocity takes place, the event(s) get discussed in the overall flow of the one currently active thread.

OTOH the CITME section is up at ?19 pages, and a new thread seems to get started everytime someone feels the need, which sometimes appears to be several times a day...I can maybe see why MNHQ engage in some housekeeping.

Really? So the thousands of posts on mumsnet criticising Israel and it's army are all just figments of my imagination?

Because you're not allowed to criticize Israel or its army as it's viewed, very unfairly, as anti-Semitism.

It's the same in all media.

I heard Nick Robinson on Radio 4 say that saying 'Death to the IDF' is the same as death to Jews, as Jews are conscripted into the army.

Jewish people are not conscripted into the army - Israeli citizens are conscripted into the Israeli army.

Jewish people in the UK are not conscripted into the IDF, although some do volunteer.

Probably the rape denial. That’s not particularly welcome on a female-dominated site.

There are literally hundreds of threads on Israel and Gaza. If MN are trying to stop people talking about it they're not doing a very good job.

I don’t engage with many posts on this subject as there is a tendency for them to be blindly one sided in one direction or another.

Your post, for example. What do the surveys of opinions in Gaza look like? It didn’t look great to me when they were cheering in the streets about the bloodied, raped bodies of young women. I don’t believe a lot of what I read. I know what I saw.

Thank you @BeckyAMumsnet

Maybe because a lot of people (me as a British Jew married to an Israeli, in particular) don't massively want to see your ill-informed bile on the main threads. The matter is disproportionately discussed compared to other conflicts that are taking place.

Why do you want to discuss them on AIBU? Don't you know how many bad faith posters and trolls it attracts?

Because people keep posting misninformation. Plus, there is the CITME board if you want to talk about it.

So post in the right section. AIBU is asking for Goady responses

where are you getting your figures @ADpackage?

Maybe link to these polls so people can see methodology etc?

You can always email mnhq and ask why they're deleting your threads. Ive done this and always got a clear reply.
I don't think you'll like it though.
If you actually want to talk there's a thread discussing Israels plan for Gaza on CITME boards.
You dont always get to control how the thread goes.

Post in the appropriate place. Then you’ll get much more considered and informed responses.

Posting in AIBU seems very goady to me.
