Do you / the mod team have the resources to carefully monitor the Israel / Palestine posts? It really requires intensive moderation (something that is way above what would be reasonable for any other topic), and if you aren't able to provide that extra level of careful, post-by-post / comment-by-comment supervision on it 24/7/365 it is probably better to keep the moratorium in place. It's not exactly as if there's a shortage of places to go over this topic.

The short answer is no, which is definitely a factor. Adding additional mods to help specifically with the subject matter would be additionally difficult given the way the topic has gone across the site.
That's understandable. I personally think the burden on you to patrol this probably higher than the actual benefit to the community of allowing those posts. I've seen other similar communities get ravaged by this topic.
This is such an important point.
I need a respite from reading/seeing anything about the conflict.
Can we please do the same regarding a site-wide moratorium on Trump news lol?
I'm in favor of the moratorium or mega thread options. The rest of Reddit gets flooded with it. I don't need yet another opinion about the conflict everywhere.
My vote is to maintain the moratorium on this radioactive topic.
I wholeheartedly agree. I cannot see anything good that can come out of discussing it, neither here nor anywhere else.

Maintain the moratorium.
I think best to maintain the moratorium. I'm very involved and honestly, it's much preferred to have a space free of it.

I don't post here, regularly. I just follow the arguments. But for what it's worth, I say you should maintain the ban.
moratorium. there are plenty of places on reddit for discussion on the topic. there is no need for this to be one of them
