Reply #3: Uh-oh! We best not post any Olympic threads about Israeli or Palestinian athletes then!

With all due respect, Oberliner, but I've seen you post articles in the past that don't fall into yr narrow confines of what you consider suitable fodder for the I/P forum....

As I mentioned in the thread title, last Olympics I recall there were articles about Palestinian and Israeli athletes. Speaking for myself, I enjoyed seeing that, because both teams are underdogs and living in a country that goes into a medal-gathering frenzy and obsesses only about itself, it's good to read about other countries at the Olympics. Sure, a journalist being injured in Georgia isn't a good news story, but neither was this one you posted once, which didn't fall into yr definition now of what's relevant to the I/P conflict.

Moral of the story - do what I do. Just go with the flow, don't bother reading things that aren't of interest to you. and if there's articles posted here that shouldn't be here the mods will vanish them.
