Much as I dislike Trump I believe he might have enough influence to achieve this.

I see what’s there growstuff and so do the moderators.
If it isn’t there then there would be nothing to delete.

You're assuming that mods read whole threads and act consistently and fairly. GNers have sometimes contested that.

If everyone would just keep their comments about the conflict in Gaza and the Israeli government to exactly that then it would be so much better for the thread.I sadly don’t think that they will.

Pot and kettle springs to mind here.

All my posts are about the conflict in Gaza.

I’m lost here!

Have the several posts above been deleted because of antisemitism?

I read them - they were not antisemitic.

I agree with WW, the moderators need to familiarise themselves with the agreed definition of antisemitism!

Whitewavemark2 Fri 08-Aug-25 15:42:44

😄😄 yes I got zapped because I said that the moderators need to read up on antisemitism!

This will probably be zapped as well.

My post was deleted just because I said I hadn't read any antisemitic posts. Obviously I'm not allowed an opinion.

Hi all,

It’s fine to disagree about deletions or moderation decisions, but this thread is now drifting away from the original topic and turning into what's starting to look like a pile-on. That’s not in the spirit of the guidelines, and it makes it harder for everyone to join in the discussion.

We understand this is a sensitive subject, and differences of opinion are natural, but please keep your posts focused on the thread topic rather than on other posters. If you’d like to discuss specific moderation actions, you’re welcome to do so via email or reports.

Then just keep remarks to the OP of the thread, it’s easy enough to do.

Oreo Fri 08-Aug-25 15:50:39

X post with LilyGransnet.

I will kick off with what do posters think Trump will do next in the case of Gaza?

Claremont Fri 08-Aug-25 15:54:36

Sorry but this is a pile-on- on anyone who highlights this terrible genocide. Antisemitism is being used, as in many other media, totally unfairly and wrongly, to shut down any criticism of Netanyahu's decisions, now to take over the whole of Gaza, and beyond.

I think he will continue to support Israel regardless of what the Israeli government does. He has no more care for the Palestinians living there than they do.

Claremont Fri 08-Aug-25 15:58:59

Threads move on, and but here remained very much on the subject of te thread title '... to end the Gaza war'-

Or indeed, hamas.
Am not sure you’re right though as if it goes on too long I think Trump will push for an ending.

AGAA4 Fri 08-Aug-25 16:12:19

Trump has said Netanyahu can do what he wants. He seems to have lost interest.
He really doesn't care about Gaza.

Hope more countries stop sending arms to Israel as Germany has done.
Why give Netanyahu the means to kill defenceless people.

If the reports from the WH can be believed (and that is a moot point) Trump hates seeing starving children and when Netanyahu said it was all fake Trump shouted at him to get aid into Gaza.

Now Netanyahu is busy killing more people including it is thought highly likely the hostages. Aid is on the back burner.
