(22,153 posts)I just can't comprehend how insulting people with differing opinions helps Gaza or those trying to survive there. But if you find attacking and villifying fellow DUers who happen to hold differing opinions on very complex issues to be of some use, you go right ahead.
I realize there have been angry words on both sides. At this point, I have no idea who "started" it, but it needs to STOP. Every insult that gets thrown from one side increases the anger and defensiveness on the other. It has become a never ending spiral, and I. Am. Freaking. Sick. And. Tired. Of. It.
No matter what you or I or anyone else may think about what's going on in Gaza, there IS more than one side to every issue, and those who disagree with you here AT DU are NOT monsters, just people with a different point of view.
IMNSHO, DU should be a place where people are allowed to disagree with each other without calling each other horrible things. That's why there are rules here about civility. Unfortunately, those rules no longer seem to apply where this topic is concerned, and I. Am. Freaking. Sick. And. Tired. Of. It.
That is all.
