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

We want to be absolutely clear that threads are not being removed simply because they touch on difficult or sensitive topics - and it’s not accurate to suggest that nothing antisemitic has been said.

We’ve allowed many discussions on this issue to remain where posters have managed to debate and share perspectives without resorting to generalisations, conspiracy theories, or dehumanising language. Many threads on MN show it’s perfectly possible to talk about these issues without crossing the line.
But when we do see posts – or repeated behaviour – that veers into antisemitic tropes or makes sweeping claims about entire groups of people based on race, religion or nationality, we step in. That may mean removing individual posts, or in some cases, whole threads if the overall direction breaches our guidelines or creates an environment that frankly we’re not willing to host on Mumsnet. There are sadly many places online where this kind of thing is left to stand and we don't wish to be among them.

We’d also gently remind posters that it’s not for individuals to decide what constitutes hate speech or breaches guidelines – that’s a judgement for the moderation team. And yes, context and posting history are often taken into account when we make those decisions.

We understand that this topic matters to many, and we’re not trying to shut down discussion - but there are lines - and we'll continue to moderate within our rules.
