While I love legit, informational, open-minded arguments in general, there were a couple hate-speech attacks against a recent, Belgian/Jewish-themed post here that immediately smashed our #1 rule here ("Netiquette") to bits.
Those came from two individuals in particular (same instance), and disgusted both myself and my co-mod.
I want to remind everyone here-- for anyone new to this community, it's both common-sense and classic Netiquette to suggest that if one wants to argue hard, it's best to start with some politeness where possible.
The two banned can appeal, if they like. I'm not opposed to talking things out, assuming good-faith is involved.
I also want to clarify that the original comic by no means attempted to 'pick international sides.' It was in fact an attempt to depict internal strife between people within a small community. That, and nothing more.
EDIT: I've made some major revisions in my message above, seeking for better clarity. Thank you for re-reading.

I see you've learned absolutely nothing, and likely never will...
Oh, well?
And vice-versa, only when convenient, right?
The difference is...

First you claim to be against genocide. Then you write:
What kind of mental gymnastics is that supposed to be? Obviously you are indeed in favor of genocide, as long as only Jewish people are the victims of it. Or what exactly do you think would happen to its Jewish citizens, if Israel were to “fall”, as you trivialize it?

You are so hung up on seeing the world in black and white that all you got left is toxic and misanthropic hate speech. A well differentiated discussion about a topic as complex as the Israel-Palestine conflict is obviously not possible with you.
OMG, thank you for explaining that. I get kind of emotional at times, but what you said was... schön?
I really tried to stay out of the discussion but damn, that bs made me fucking angry!
