The city’s dwindling Christian community is facing a spike in hate crimes under the far-right government, with possible ramifications for Israel’s ties abroad.

I’m sure the End Times Christian Zionists see this as some sort of escalation to the final cataclysm, so they can get raptured in their own lifetimes.

The sole purpose of this community is to discuss Israeli and Palestinian issues. It is not the place for hurling insults, rehashing grudges, or making up history. Any conversation that veers into the “if only your people had” realm will be deleted or locked right away. I started this community in the potentially fruitless hope that we may have a civil conversation about this issue.

Rules:

References to historical events must include a reputable source. The definition of reputable is up to the mods. Keep that in mind.
Articles from reputable sources only.
No name-calling. That’s what DMs are for. /s
Keep it in English. If I don’t understand the word, it gets removed. Obvious exceptions would be the use of proper names and references. For example, “wadi” when used to refer to a place is acceptable.
Discussions that are heading into the probability of becoming a flame war will be locked.
Repeat offenders will be forced to find another community.
Anti-Zionism is ok. Anti-Semitism is not.
Whataboutism is for toddlers. Try to grow up.
Posting articles about current events is encouraged. Posting the same story from 20 different sources is not.
Posting an article purely for the purpose of saying “Look what monsters they are” is discouraged unless it can generate an honest discussion. This is probably the most difficult rule to follow.
No calling anyone a terrorist.
No YouTube links. Some of us can read.
