Hi,

As a person of Palestinian heritage, I find the fact mumsnet keeps deleting threads that shed light on the suffering of Palestinians to be deeply offensive.

I would like to know mumsnet policy on this issue.

Hello @DeepThinkingGirl thanks for posting. We've had to remove recent threads because several posts were offensive to both Palestinians and Jewish people, and it was difficult to see how such a discussion could recover. We also had many reports from people from both sides who were very upset by some of the posts.

Of course, we've no issue with posts that are critical of governments but we ask that people are mindful of the sensitivities when discussing this. Our job here is to moderate the posts on Mumsnet without fear or favour. We respond to reports and check each post against our guidelines.

Thank you.

Point taken - we should have had a more detailed explanation than 'goady OP'. As with many contentious issues, we would suggest posting with civility uppermost in mind, giving advance consideration not only to how you feel about what you are writing, but how others may feel when they read it.

We will always remove posts that are racist, antisemitic, Islamophobic, or otherwise just downright offensive.
