I think Mumsnet should apologise for the censorship of people's opinions about the genocide in Gaza? (Closing threads in AIBU about Israeli crimes against humanity)

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.

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.

Not related to this specific topic, but in terms of more careful monitoring, I think they need to look at some posts on both side of the trans/women’s rights debate. There have been some horrifically hateful posts from both sides, though I have to say, it seems more so on the women’s rights side. It has meant that some of those debates have become so toxic you are put off from trying to make any meaningful, reasonable contribution.

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

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

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