CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

To the situation of the displaced and oppressed people of Palestine. Try to remember they are not all terrorists any more than all Israel are terrorists.

Quite a difference from what Trump suggested yesterday! (that the US would 'own' the real estate of Gaza etc) Hard to believe a seemingly sane man would utter such cruel dictatorial insanity

It's hard to believe BB would let him say it without at response. Hasn't Israel always wanted full control? That won't happen if they let Trump build a resort.

I believe this is true in some cases but not always so. Not directing this at you in any way,

If we assumed what Trump said about the US owning it, that would be right. I suppose Israel would be happy to have all Gazans expelled no matter what. I also suspect that Israel would be right in there actually owning quite a bit if it happened at all. What seems to be happening is that Trump seems to owe a debt to Israel and is paying it at the expense of US interests and credibility as well as his own.

Well, there are nearly 300 posts, and I said "a couple," so, yeah, true in some cases but not all.

This is off-topic, and not inline with CF rules, but I believe personal attacks can be legitimate when warranted. I can attack Adolf Hitler's beliefs and actions, but it's also entirely legitimate to say Adolf Hitler was a bad man.

Inasmuch as Hitler is not a correspondent in these forums, that would not constitute what is considered here a "personal attack" or, more precisely, "flaming."

Wrong. The rules prohibit flaming of public figures who are not members here, which is bizarre because, how can you flame or goad someone when they're not aware of it? Although I used an example of a dead person, so I'm not sure if the rule applies to the dead.

I was talking about two specific posts in which persons in the conversation on this thread were flamed. So, those circumstances count, hypotheticals notwithstanding.
