Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

History: The origin of Hamas

This 6 minute video explains the critical role that Israel played in creating the radical extremist Hamas identity as part of a plan to divide and keep Palestinians suppressed. The plan backfired. 

PD posted this in a comment here yesterday. This information is well worth knowing. It puts the current horror in Israel and Gaza in some context.
