I apologise for bringing the discussion down but garbage posts like the one from Q shouldn't be glossed over/tolerated either.
Edit: Oh and comparing Israel to North Korea....really??

It's always pretty much the group of same posters posting about how atrocious Israel is and the smaller group of same posters defending it. The funny (or sad) common theme through all of Israel-related threads is – irrationality. It's always about what Israel does or doesn't do and never about what Palestinians (Hamaz, Fatah, Al-Aqsa Brigades etc...) do or about what the Arab/Muslim world does to the entire planet on a much grander and horrifying scale.
_Q_ by his own earlier admission is a Palestinian, so everyone here knows that his posting on Israel will never be rational. Blankall and Nage_Waza are likely Jewish, so their staunch defending of Israel is probably rooted there as well. Other posters could have ethnic roots in either side or not, doesn't matter. What does matter, these threads are NEVER of good-nature or rational thinking; thus, intending to find something of value in a debate, something that is seen by both sides of the debate as worthy of using in coming to some kind of a consensus decision or solution, albeit a very hypothetical Internet-forum solution. It's always "Israel is awful" vs. "No, it is not". I see these threads as damaging to the CP forum, as they only pursue personal hatred outbursts; therefore, I believe they should not be allowed here. It would be great if the moderators finally get their minds together on this and ban them for good; just like they have banned other topics that didn't benefit the spirit of a good community discussion.
