I've been wanting to mention this all day....

[Flabbergasted]

Since when did threads about Israel become allowed in the big forums?

At any other time, besides primary season, the thread would have been in I/P within minutes.

It's been here all day and slowly approaching a flame-fest. It may not get there. Who knows?

I'm just surprised the rules are not enforced on this one.

No I don't necessarily think it needs to go to I/P but considering the frayed nerves here in GDP it seems like a wise move.

That's all.

2. Beats me.

3. Well, in theory, I/P is like LBN: It needs an article

You can't just start a thread about I/P in I/P, ironically. And I'd imagine the mods are too busy cleaning up the HRC/BHO bloodfests to notice or care about an I/P spat in the big forums.

4. The point is to keep a topic that generates extreme emotions out of the main forums

where it can be managed easier. No article needs to be used. Any opinion on I/P is potentially divisive.

That said: I'm sure the mods are quite aware of the thread and I'm just surprised how some rules are given a pass during the primaries.

I'm not saying it needs to go to I/P. It's just an observation.
