I think Mumsnet should apologise for the censorship of people's opinions about the genocide in Gaza?

Yes, accused. Not proved.

Your title sounds like you know that Israel have commited genocide. Other people have different views.

Take a look at the OP history and you will see their agenda.

What censorship? There are literally hundreds of threads discussing the topic.

Better stop those witches discussing women’s rights eh? 👀

True but equally, some people are antisemitic in the way they talk about the Gaza war and this is where MN sometimes steps in.

MN do not censor discussion of the Gaza war - there were loads of threads about it on the Conflict in the Middle East board before the Iran war started and the focus of most threads changed. Where MN intervene on threads, it tends to be because there has been too much rule breaking on one thread so the whole thread has become toxic.

i think some posters need to understand there is a line between being against what the Israeli government is doing in regards to Palestine, and anti-semitism.

It is quite possible to be one and not the other without blurring the lines.

This poster will struggle to find any “horrifically hateful posts” from any women of MN because there aren’t any. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Yes criticising Israeli government policies obviously gets a thread deleted. That's why such criticism is impossible to find on MN.

No. And I know many jews who are appalled by the Israelian goverment. Personally I think they are just as bad as each other. No pity and civilian killings on both sides.

The difference with Ukraine is that they didn't barge in to Russia starting killing people- they were attacked by Russia purely out of economical interests and to boost the ego of the crazy narcissist chipmunk who leads the country. In that way I have more sympathy and understanding for a country like Israël that was attacked first and that wanted to make sure it didn't happen again (while obviously going totally overboard). As for the US and Iran I feel they are both "the bad guys" here. With this demented narcissist that Trump and his incompetent goverment they are setting us all up for financial crisis while bombing haphazardly killing innocent people (and terrorists which I'm all for exterminating).

Which threads do you mean?

Can you not?

@BiteSizeByzantineI think that works all ways with every conflict discussed on here. If you are invested in some way the pain runs deeper. I can’t tell you the awful comments I read on here post Oct 7th. I made formal complaints both to Mumsnet and beyond. I think the celebration and excusing of death and destruction is ‘ghoulish’ whoever you are. It was NOT a one way street.
There are rules. If posters choose not to stick to them it’s on them. I have served more than one short ban when emotion has got the better of me but I hope I learnt from it.
It doesn’t change my perception though. More who I chose to get in the ring with and where.

No, I don’t think criticisms are equates to antisemitism. I am often rather critical of the actions of the Israeli government myself.

But some posters on those threads are incapable of such criticism without resorting to antisemitism.

It doesn't delete threads where people ghoulishly justify bombing schools and hospitals.

I wonder if this thread could be moved to Site Stuff. MN actually monitor the threads on there, whereas they will only see this one if someone reports it.

My own opinion? MN runs this site and they get to decide what threads they want left up and which get deleted. I don’t think they should apologise.

Me too.

Perhaps you’d like to post links for those posts?

@tobee@Marylou2 also agree.

Very possibly.

The Gaza threads seem to attract all of the anti-Semitic and the Islamophobic trolls, fighting over who can be the most offensive and dehumanising.

You are being disingenuous, OP.

I agree with you about the atrocities that are happening in Gazza. We actually are able to discuss them on MN, as long as the discussion is respectful. The only threads that have been deleted are the ones where some posters have strayed into racism and antisemitism.

Agreed
