Posts about Israeli Embassy in Egypt moved from LBN to a topic forum -
why was this done? This is currently front page news on any major world newspaper (including not only El Jazeera, Guardian et al but also New York Times and Wash Post).

2. Here -

This happened Friday, and while front-page news on the NYT and Wash Post sites, these were filed away in a topic forum.

I understand that everyday Israeli/Palestinian news may not be appropriate for general political discussion, but this seemed like a major event to me (and to our major news outlets as I mentioned).

4. Sorry for the late response
I had a quick look at those threads out and to be honest it looks like the topic would have been okay for the Latest Breaking News forum. My apologies for the inconvenience.
